I've been experiencing a drop in frame rates while playing games such as Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant. Previously, I maintained a stable 170 FPS, but now I'm only getting around 120-130 FPS. My setup includes an RTX 2070 SUPER graphics card, an i5 10400 processor, and 16GB of RAM. I've already tried reinstalling my operating system, cleaning my rig, and closing all background applications while gaming. I'm looking for advice on how to diagnose and fix the issue causing this drop in performance.

It could be worth considering what changed before the FPS drop happened. Did anything update around that time, like Windows or your Nvidia drivers? Keeping an eye on those updates can help pinpoint the issue.

Yeah, I noticed just Windows updates and one driver update around the time this started happening.
