I've been stuck on this problem for a really long time. I have been playing PC games for many years and the way my game feels is a big deal about how well I play. My game isn't snappy or responsive like it should be. I spent thousands of dollars on a gaming rig and have tried to fix everything I can to make things work better, but nothing has worked yet. MY PROBLEM: Even though my game runs at high frame rates all the time (over 400), it still feels slow, unresponsive, and delayed in a way that hurts my immersion. My gaming sessions feel worse as they go on. I think this might just be normal because nothing is getting too hot or burning out anything. I play at a very high level so hardware has always been the most important part of how good I can get. I know these little tweaks won't change things permanently for me, but I have tried everything possible without success. Anyone else having similar issues or suggestions? Please let me know because I would be so happy to hear from you <3 SPECS: Ryzen 9 5900x 3.70 GHz RTX 3080 32GB RAM @ 3600 MHz X570 Phantom Gaming 4 WiFi ax

Each session feels totally different, which makes it really hard to play the same way every time. This is one of the most frustrating things I've ever dealt with, and it has made me want to give up on games all together.

Which operating system do you run on? Windows 11 is struggling because certain background apps use too much of the computer's resources.
