I've been going around trying to find a solution for my problem but I can't find anything. I'm afraid my processor is maybe failing? But before I want to spend that much money on replacing the processor I want to be kind of sure about it. Underneath a comprehensive explanation:
So at first the issue came up with BDO, I booted the game after a patch and suddenly the game would drop to 20 FPS when clicking start game. When I went in game the FPS even sometimes dropped down to 1. I tried to resolve the issue with BDO support, because my other games weren't showing this issue at all. However, when I started Cities: Skylines the FPS/stuttering was horrible to look at as well. I started testing other games like Monster Hunter World. While that runs okay, the FPS isn't what it used to be as well. Somehow most, if not all, games are taking changing degrees of FPS hits. BDO is the absolute worst, being unplayable, games like Genshin Impact or Outriders (xbox game pass version) run fine and playable with only sometimes a very small FPS drop. Outriders even ran comletely fine 60 FPS. If it was my PC I would figure all games would run horribly. I haven't changed anything different to my PC. I tried testing my storages and GPU and did all the usual stuff that Support asks you to do.
Does anyone have an idea what could cause the issue and how to fix it/pin down the issue. I wouldn't know why some games are unbothered, others are unplayable and others inbetween across different storages. If I need to provide any extra information, tests or documents I'd be glad to do so ofcourse. Thanks in advance!
