I neglected to configure mangohud to show temperatures and it turns out I was getting 90°c CPU!
I had a sus clip on the CPU heat sink and missed a system fan plug on last rebuild.
Everything should be good but I'll need to finish it up tomorrow morning after I purchase thermal paste to be sure.
I have a super small ko-fi page that I sell products from.
Have you found a PayPal alternative?
The game has a known vram leak bug. I'm going to look into that as well as my compositor set-up. I think you might be right about it not being the mouse as the desktop is still very smooth.
I averaged 90% GPU and 47% CPU, there was no change during and after the beginning of the mouse frame rate drop. However, I tried to restart the game and it wouldn't run again until reboot.
Ok, thank you, I'll have a look.
Would that affect only the mouse because otherwise I still get amazing performance when I don't use the mouse?
Ok, that makes sense, thank you I'll have a look next time I'm on my PC
I'm just about out of space on my property until my nursery trees are mulched for soil so I'm currently in the market for endemic natives to guerilla garden with.
I planted 3 trees this week and have been making biochar in winter when fire restrictions are lifted.
We're you in some state of thought or emotion that she may have read and articulated this as 'unpleasant'?
I have a similar story though. My son keeps asking me "why do you do that thing with your lips?" He referring to my smile which I've long learnt to hide unless I have real joy in which it bursts out...
Back to troubleshooting, it wasn't the heat unfortunately.
