I recently decided to wipe my PC to free up space and organize it by resetting everything from scratch. Since then, I've been experiencing lag in Counter-Strike 2, which is the only game I play that demands a lot of computing power. I've tweaked multiple settings including my Nvidia graphics settings, in-game options, Windows settings, and even made minor adjustments in the BIOS. I updated my BIOS and ran a few optimizations on the system as well. While these changes helped a bit, I'm still facing significant jitter, particularly with three spikes every second. Now it's gotten worse, as the game randomly freezes. I'm really at a loss for what to try next!

Just to clarify, how did you reset your PC? If you did it through Windows settings, that might not be robust enough. Many users suggest using a USB stick for a clean slate. It's a bit more trouble, but it could solve lingering issues.
It’s crucial to ensure that after resetting your PC, you reinstalled all the necessary Windows updates and drivers. Without those, you might run into performance issues. Have you checked if everything is fully updated?
I’ve been told that before, but I don’t have a USB stick available right now.
