Hi! It sounds like your PC is struggling with performance, especially in games. Let me break this down for you. With the specs you have—EVGA RTX 3060, Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB DDR4 RAM, a B450M DS3H motherboard, plus a 256GB SSD and a 2TB HDD—it's not uncommon for older components to lag under modern workloads. On Forza Horizon 4, you're aiming for at least 100 FPS on ultra, but you're only managing around 80. That gap could be due to several factors:
- **Graphics driver issues** – outdated or corrupted drivers can hurt performance.
- **Background processes** – too many apps or services using CPU/RAM.
- **SSD vs HDD speed** – your HDD is slower than the SSD, which can bottleneck things.
- **Thermal throttling** – if the GPU gets hot, it slows down.
- **Game settings** – higher settings drain more resources.
Try these steps:
1. Update all drivers, especially graphics and chipset.
2. Close unnecessary programs and background apps.
3. Check disk usage—remove unused files or partitions.
4. Consider switching to a faster SSD if possible.
5. If you're using Windows updates, ensure they're not conflicting with your hardware.
Let me know what you find, and we can dig deeper! You're not alone in this—many players face similar issues. Good luck upgrading your experience!
1. Your RAM rate is [insert].
2. Your friend’s RAM speed is [insert], and their CPU model is [insert].
3. Run 3DMark, then use Timespy or Firestrike for a free benchmark. Post your results here: https://www.3dmark.com
I mean which processor you're referring to. There are now 12 different generations of Intel i7 processors.
No, I'm not using Steam. I'm checking if you're playing on PC with Xbox Game Pass or another platform.
