Do a little belated spring cleaning so to speak. Might even need to do a little downclocking from the stock settings.
I dust out my casing on a bi-weekly to weekly basis, the tower is stored on the desk to prevent any dirt, dust, animal hair gathering on it en masse, and to prevent any heating issues. I can monitor the interior heat -- everything is fine. Even in the dog days of summer, I do not have heat issues. In addition, the card is not overclocked. Again, these issues only started recently and after looking across here and on Reddit, it seems as if they aren't constrained to a particular graphics card either. Everyone's system differs as well. Mine is more than capable of running this! I often watch the resource monitor and everything is smooth.

I appreciate everyone coming together and offering various solutions. My concern is that it isn't our systems.
