Well I was talking about the GPU temp. I think the reason why you got better performance temporarily is because you turned off the pc cooling off the gpu completely. You can install MSI Afterburner to check GPU temp.
Hey I have the same issue. My CPU and GPU temps are good 60-70 C. I remember having about 100-120 fps in apex in season 7, but as season 8 came the fps got worse and season 9 is even worser and now it goes below 60 sometimes even 20 if I get thermited and crypto ult myself, its horrible. I checked my gpu and cpu and they are either running as expected or above average so that shouldnt be a problem. I cant even overclock my gpu because if I do that the game crashes.
The only game I have performance issues is Apex GTA 5 runs at 100 fps at medium - high settings
P.S some parts of olympus like the waterfall at hammod labs make my fps go even lower when I look at it.
My setup:
GPU : HD 7970
CPU I5 2500
16 GB ram
2 tb 7200 rpm HDD
Have the same problem. In season 7 thear been about 80-90 fps with my HD 7950. Now it max 40 with 20 fps drops. I just cant play. Fps in other games allright. (((
