Hello, six months ago I purchased a new PC. You can find it here: [link]. I upgraded my RAM and replaced the existing one with Corsair Dominator 32GB Gigs 3600MHz. However, I’m not seeing optimal performance. In some games, I experience low frame rates like Rust, while my friends with similar settings get around 70-85 frames and have an Intel Core i7-1070i3. I’m confused about why my PC isn’t running at its full potential despite my overclocking attempts. I’ll post this thread later, sharing my 3DMark scores before and after using MSI Afterburner.

Additionally, the game with the highest FPS you're aiming for is MSFS2020, where you typically see around 30-50 FPS. Your graphics settings are set to ultra and high, which should help improve performance.

Discussing the experience of running a 3070 at high or ultra settings. It seems you're aiming for better FPS, but haven't encountered any problems yet. What's your monitor resolution?

Some games perform poorly in FPS titles, particularly when vertical sync or other stabilization features are required for lower refresh rates (60-75Hz). What’s the maximum refresh your display supports? Generally, if your monitor doesn’t reach 120-144Hz, stabilization is essential to prevent visual issues. Boosting RAM on the mainboard usually has little impact on FPS; it’s the GPU’s VRAM and clock speed that matter most. You typically have only 1-2GB available, as prebuilt systems often lack high-quality components and can be very unstable. I noticed a note on my old 1700 rig (CyberPowerPC) stating it was assembled with tested parts but not fully verified. That’s a warning—most prebuilt units come with questionable quality. One thing to remember is that even if a display supports a certain resolution, not every game will render optimally on it. For instance, my 1700 model runs at 24Hz and looks best at 1600x900, not the full 2048x1280. Updated June 19, 2022 by An0maly_76 Added more details

Sure, your screen has a 144Hz refresh rate with a resolution of 1920x1080, and you're using an 8GB card.

They say retooled cases often come with some rough performance issues. Recent coverage on Gamers Nexus mentioned an alien ware prototype, possibly similar to what was discussed earlier.
