It looks like your CPU isn’t performing well, especially in games. You’ve checked scores with Cinebench and found low frame rates at certain settings. After trying updates and resets, you’re still stuck with slow speeds. Your system specs are solid, but the issue might be elsewhere—check RAM stability, thermal performance, or background processes. Consider running a more detailed stress test and ensure all components are properly cooled. If problems persist, a hardware upgrade or professional diagnostics could help.

The cinebench score appears accurate. Regarding low FPS, are you certain you're using the dedicated GPU rather than the integrated one?

In the Cinebench image, the same CPU shows an average rating matching your current system. Your result is marginally higher than typical, so it's unclear if you mean it's "underperforming." To fix this, update the graphics drivers for your RTX 2060 and try a new download.

It's possible the monitor is linked to the incorrect port on the motherboard, rather than the GPU.

Seems like you're referencing the IGPG, but 80fps in Cogo isn't high enough for that GPU's performance.

Not employing the GPU connector Nop, opting for the separate dedicated GPU.

What version? I think you're thinking of routing the IP through the GPU for low-power games.

In CS:GO 1024x768, 1080p is the standard resolution for everything else. Using the IGPU with my current settings isn't working properly.

I don't have real-time metrics, but you can check your CPU and GPU usage during gameplay and when idle using system monitoring tools or built-in device managers.

Already tried reinstalling windows on another drive, but it didn’t work. When I’m not running CPU-heavy games, I play just fine, even some in 4K resolution.
