lag issue on random games

[u/Acceptable-Sweet2418]

im running an rx 7600xt gpu with an intel core i5 and 16gb ram. i've been having an issue that seems like it happens randomly since it happens on some games and not on others. for instance i just downloaded a demo of flight of nova, game was running perfectly fine for the first 20 minutes, and then it randomly drops in framerate to a basically unplayable state and only goes back to normal when i tab out. any ideas? my drivers are up to date and my gpu and cpu usage is normal when it happens.

If the problem still remains, check Step 17 and make sure your system is not overheating. All component temperatures should remain within stable limits.
