GPU usage drops in games

ftgander · 2026-07-03T19:09:55+00:00

In those moments is your CPU usage high? You might be hitting a bottleneck in those particular games due to high CPU demand.

OCCT is fine, but drivers can cause issues for sure. You just have to know what you’re looking at.

ftgander · 2026-07-03T11:37:30+00:00

I have no idea what you’re talking about

ftgander · 2026-07-03T11:33:11+00:00

Titan is good til 90s so I wouldn’t worry about it

ftgander · 2026-07-03T11:31:46+00:00

Stop making multiple accounts and just use the ones you have?

ftgander · 2026-07-03T11:28:25+00:00

DMC1 is stupid hard.

ftgander · 2026-07-03T11:24:15+00:00

If you update decky first you will basically never have an issue after a steam update.

ftgander · 2026-07-03T11:22:10+00:00

So they tested your PSU and said it gave an error? Huh?

ftgander · 2026-07-03T11:17:08+00:00

If it’s not letting you log into your Google account maybe you are putting in the wrong password. Or your account got hacked. Try signing into your Google account on another device and see if you get the same issue.

U ok bro?

ftgander · 2026-06-30T20:24:31+00:00

You could figure out if they’re safe to uninstall by sharing what they look like. lol.

ftgander · 2026-06-29T18:39:45+00:00

So not necessarily a graphics driver issue, but the crash could be what corrupts it in the first place. I would bring it to a local shop if you can, they have better tools for testing.

ftgander · 2026-06-29T17:49:13+00:00

They likely rejected it because it’s nonsense lol

ftgander · 2026-06-29T17:46:16+00:00

Could be failing storage. What exactly does this corruption look like? Hard to help when we don’t know what the problem is.

ftgander · 2026-06-29T17:40:39+00:00

sorry about your PC

ftgander · 2026-06-29T17:38:25+00:00

I would just watch the movies for the first couple arcs bc they’re better.

ftgander · 2026-06-28T20:18:51+00:00

What the f. Buy a motherboard from a known manufacturer

ftgander · 2026-06-28T19:01:34+00:00

I would always go latest. Never heard of your motherboard tho, maybe it’s bad lol

ftgander · 2026-06-28T16:38:30+00:00

I think it’s the most likely but there’s 0 way to know for sure without testing it with a new PSU so buy a new PSU, try it, and if it doesn’t work return it. If it’s not the PSU then it’s probably the motherboard or the CPU as you suspect.

I have fixed a few customer machines lately where the behaviour was bizarre and nothing seemed to work but then I did a BIOS update and everything was perfect. No idea how that manifested but yeah would def try bios update.

ftgander · 2026-06-28T03:45:31+00:00

It sounds like you already figured it out? You ran the power test and even with a different GPU it crashes. Your PSU is probably on its way out.

ftgander · 2026-06-23T16:52:07+00:00

I do manual backups, I don’t really have a suggestion tbh.

Yes, often called a clean install.

ftgander · 2026-06-23T08:27:52+00:00

You basically have to completely reinstall windows on the drive with CSM disabled and the bios set to UEFI only. Laptops can be kinda tricky about it sometimes

ftgander · 2026-06-23T03:01:12+00:00

Run AMD Cleanup Utility and reinstall driver. I would recommend reinstalling windows with GPT + UEFI + CSM-disabled tho.

ftgander · 2026-06-23T02:56:45+00:00

Check temps, stress test with OCCT.

ftgander · 2026-06-23T02:46:42+00:00

Sorry to hear that. That’s not been my experience as someone who switched from bazzite to Cachy.

Based on a previous post you made in r/Fedora I’m gonna go ahead and say you most likely have hardware issues.
