You have a decent setup but could benefit from optimizing performance. Consider checking your drivers, updating your OS, and ensuring your GPU drivers are current. Also, try adjusting power settings or using a better cooling solution to reduce temperatures. If needed, consider upgrading to a more powerful power supply or adding more RAM for smoother multitasking.

Check the monitor settings and refresh rate. Your GPU might only need a lower refresh rate display, such as 1080p at 60Hz, which can handle minimal usage without straining performance.

It seems the 5950x setup works well, but you're expecting better GPU performance. With your 1440p 165Hz display and only around 50 FPS in certain games, utilization might be lower than ideal.

It’s about more than just having enough memory—details like clock speed, timing, number of sticks, brand, model, and specific game issues matter. What settings are active and which titles show the problem?

I also have the GPU linked via a single power outlet that can divide into two if needed.

It's often misunderstood that games require full system resources. In reality, each game has varying demands, and excessive usage can strain your hardware. This might lead to problems like stuttering, freezes, or data issues—not outright crashes. The idea likely comes from personal experience rather than universal truth. While some games are demanding, it also depends on settings, drivers, and configurations. I suggest updating your GPU drivers, reinstalling them, checking BIOS and chipset updates, and setting everything to default. Windows usually handles this well without needing constant tweaks. Most games come with reasonable defaults, so resetting them could help too.
