So this will be a bit of a complicated one so bear with me.
for the last year or so I have noticed that the performance on many of my games on steam seem to be lower than what I would expect and what I have seen on other peoples hardware. I have an i5 8600k a gtx 1060 6gb and 8gb of ram, with this on many games I am getting a far lower average fps than what I have seen other people get on hardware similar to mine. On monster hunter world on low settings I can only get around 60 fps on average for example.
I ended up deciding that it could be a driver issue so I decided to start from scratch and do a clean install of windows on my pc. After reinstalling steam without any of the save data on it I loaded up monster hunter, set the settings to medium and started a new save. I immediately noticed an improvement with an average fps of around 70 which led me to believe I was right in my thinking. I decided to recover my save data and transferred the entire steam folder from my image backup to my new steam directory. After, I started the game again loaded my old save and I saw the framerate tank to a 50fps average, I tried a new save but the fps remained the same.
Based on this is seems to be something to do with the steam directory but I am not sure what, I have never seen someone report a similar issue before so I would be extremely grateful if anyone could assist.
