Hello,
I bought the graphics card 4 months ago, in april 2016.
Recently, I noticed that while playing Counter Strike: Global Offensive, I wasn't getting the usual framerate capped at 300fps (which was around 450+ after increasing the fps_max varable, if I remember correctly), but ~200 and lower. I also noticed coil whine.
Since I bought it, I was playing on lowest setting most of the time, with multicore rendering disabled. Today, while doing some testing, I noticed that framerate increased to around 270-290, if I enabled multicore rendering, which as far as I know shouldn't be the case.
Does anyone have any experience with such changes in GPU performance?
Could it be the PSU, and how to check if it is the PSU?
