New $1500 computer is experiencing significantly reduced frame rates, and I'm struggling to find a solution.
Hello everyone, I’m experiencing a frustrating situation. My brother recently bought a new PC, and I've been assisting him with it.

When he received the PC, I instructed him to update all of its drivers and ensure everything was running smoothly. Despite our efforts, we’re playing Far Cry New Dawn, and he's consistently achieving only 50-60 frames per second, while I’m getting over 120 FPS – all using the same settings. His hardware should be more powerful than mine, and he’s utilizing a standard 1920x1080 60Hz monitor.
My system specifications are: i7 9700k processor, RTX 2060 Super Ultra graphics card on a 165Hz MSI monitor.
I've had him conduct UserBenchmarks and stress tests, and the results have consistently shown normal performance. Interestingly, during a Furmark GPU stress test, his PC was actually achieving higher frame rates than mine. Furthermore, we’ve both updated his BIOS and chipset drivers.
Any advice would be incredibly valuable at this point. I’m considering reformatting the entire PC and reinstalling all of the drivers to see if that resolves the issue.
Monitor refresh rate isn’t a major concern; however, transitioning from 1080p to 1440p will produce a noticeable difference, placing greater demands on the graphics card and less on the processor.
Yes, it primarily alters memory settings, but verifying these is advisable as the original assembler may have missed them, potentially impacting overall performance.
Increased processing capabilities should lead to slightly smoother gameplay—frame latency and input delay will improve—though the improvement might not be substantial between configurations.
It could be beneficial to reach out to the system manufacturer and investigate this further, particularly since you purchased a pre-configured unit; they are likely equipped to address any hardware deficiencies and resolve performance issues that aren't your responsibility.
Verify your computer's firmware by examining the BIOS for the X-AMP configuration and confirming that CPU turbo boosting is enabled. Ensure identical settings across both systems to facilitate a side-by-side performance evaluation, and then experiment with in-game settings to boost frame rates.
Yup Vsync off for both. would the screen Hz change FPS that much? he actually ordered a 144hz monitor yesterday.
Monitor refresh rate isn't a huge concern, but the resolution shift from 1080p to 1440p will produce a noticeable difference, placing greater demands on the graphics card and less on the processor.
Yes, this adjustment primarily impacts memory settings, but it’s worthwhile verifying as the manufacturer may have missed configuring these. This can subtly influence overall system performance.
Increased processing power should lead to slightly smoother gameplay, addressing issues like frame stutter and input delay—though the improvement might not be substantial between configurations.
It’s advisable to reach out to the system creator and investigate this further, particularly since you purchased a pre-assembled unit. If there’s a hardware problem, they are responsible for resolving it, not you.
