My computer is not performing well.
My computer is not performing well.
Hi, I shared this issue before without a clear fix or detailed cause. My friend and I bought the same PC from the same store, but he’s noticed significantly better gaming performance. For instance, Minecraft lags to around 50–60 fps even in medium settings, with noticeable stuttering and frame drops. Battlefield V and GTA V also suffer from similar problems, often hitting 60–90 fps but with frequent stutters and low frame rates across resolutions.
I understand this isn’t a hardware limitation since I’ve seen comparable benchmarks and my friend’s PC runs smoothly at high FPS in those titles. I’d like to know if this behavior is typical or if my setup has something unusual going on, and what steps I should take to resolve it.
what was the earlier discussion?

If your computers are the same, verify that all BIOS settings match exactly between your devices. This can help eliminate a potential discrepancy. When you mention seeing "benchmarks in the same games," have you performed the tests on both machines and achieved identical outcomes? A more unusual approach could involve copying your friend's boot drive to a spare SSD, installing it on another PC, and launching the system from there. If the cloned drive functions properly in your first PC, it suggests an issue with the operating system or software on your original drive. If your friend is confident, you might swap parts between the two computers, though this could cause damage.
