Due to my new PC suffering from issues caused by a poorly optimized bios update, and me thinking I got a bad motherboard, I got my new GPU and put it in my old PC because I had no other PCs I could use in the house while waiting for a replacement motherboard. This PC used to be my main rig until I experienced bad frame drops in all my games after taking apart my PC and cleaning it with a compressed air can. I believed that I only damaged the GPU and that everything else was fine.
When I started playing KOF XV with my GPU in my old PC I noticed I was having the same frame rate issues. I assumed that this might have been caused by the CPU maybe being damaged too, or maybe the motherboard got damaged. When I assessed that the problems with my new PC were caused by a bad bios update and not the motherboard itself, I installed an older bios version on my new motherboard and I installed my new GPU back into it.
After that I noticed that I started facing similar frame issues that I faced on my old computer that did not have with my new PC before putting my new GPU into my old motherboard. To test this I always cancel the character Kyo's orochinagi super into his climax super in KOF XV. If it is smooth with no issues then that means the GPU is running perfectly, if it drops to 50 frames it means that my GPU is suffering an issue. I did the test and I suffered a frame drop to 50 frames that I did not experience before I put my neq GPU into the my old motherboard on my previous PC build. This doesn't always happen though. It happened after I was done installing Windows again on my new PC, before I restarted the computer again when I received the message, "please restart your PC to finish setting up PCI bus." Just to be absolutely sure there's no driver issues, I reinstalled Windows yet again and made sure I restarted the PC and installed all necessary drivers before I played the game. On the first time I tried I noticed the game dropped to 53 frames when I did the sequence I mentioned earlier, but now I can't repeat the sequence again and it seems to be smooth, but I'm not so sure that the problem went away for good.
I don't know what else to do. Just to be extra sure I even using an object I found that could reseat my GPU so that it's not sagging as much, but I heard that a sagging GPU is not enough to impact performance and all does is prevent strain on the PCIE bracket. I've been having so many problems with this PC that at this point I'm thinking of just selling everything back and rebuilding from scratch. It really sucks because besides my PC not booting in the very beginning when I first turn it on I had no issues, but ever since my first BSODs that occurred since my first reinstall ofWwindows I've been having nothing but issues. I'm really frustrated.
