Question Performance issues with 1050TI

[1050ti]

Hello everyone,
I have had my "GAINWARD GTX 1050TI" for around 3 years now, paired with:
I5 7400 + 8GB RAM.
For the last few months, my performance dropped significantly from 70-80 FPS to 50-60 on average.

*Running on the latest 419.35 driver.
*No overclock.
*Tested on Battlefield 1

If y'all want more info just let me know.

roll back your drivers, have you installed anything new recently?

I reinstalled windows a week ago and had the old drivers that came with it (381.89) but I didn't notice any differences in performance.
After I reinstalled windows I installed my usual programs: Steam, Spotify, Battle.net, Epic launcher, Origin, Office 2016 (Not pirated), Uplay

Check CPU temps when gaming.

I can't find a driver called KB4482887 that is mentioned in the article, I have KB4489899

Problem fixed!
I changed all the settings I could in windows to get every drop of performance, and apparently, it worked surprisingly well!
This reminds me of the good old days when I didn't have the fastest pc and did everything I could just to run CS: GO for 10 minutes on a low-end Dell desktop. 🆒
