CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Boxed
CPU cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2
RAM: G.Skill Flare X F4-3200C16D-32GFX
Storage: Lexar NM710 2TB & Samsung 980 1TB
GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6900 XT
Power Supply: Corsair RM750x
Chassis: Corsair 4000D Airflow Tempered Glass
Operating System: Windows 11
Monitor: LG UltraGear 27GP850-B Zwart

For a year, my setup was designed to run games at 1440p with high settings, aiming for around 165 FPS. In titles such as DMZ I achieved 110 FPS, Red Dead Redemption 2 at 120 FPS, while Dayz and others performed even worse.
Initially, I believed this configuration was insufficient for higher FPS. However, after my brother upgraded to a less powerful PC, he managed to reach similar performance levels despite the same settings. This made me wonder—could there be an issue with my setup preventing me from hitting 165 FPS?

Over the past four evenings I’ve been experimenting online, trying various adjustments, but without success.
So here’s my question on this forum: is this the final configuration, or is something amiss?
What changes have I made?
- Reinstalled Windows
- Updated BIOS
- Updated AMD Chipset
- Installed AMD Adrenalin and updated graphics card
- Removed all graphics drivers via DDU
- Reinstalled drivers without Adrenalin
- XMP enabled
- PBO set to Auto
- Modified in-game settings (DMZ maintains same FPS at 1080p)
- Windows Energy plan switched to Ultimate Performance
- Disabled HDR
- Set minimum MHz to 100 Mhz below maximum in Adrenalin for the graphics card

Tests I performed:
- TimeSpy Graphic score: 21084 (slightly below average)
- Timespy CPU Score: 11624 (slightly below average)
- UserBenchmark showed no unusual results
[Link to test results](https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/65674258)
- Graphics cards operated at 98% load
- CPU reached about 4500 MHz under a 42% CPU load (possibly due to needing more memory but not currently active)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Kevin

Your GPU isn't sufficient for the task.
Consider upgrading to an RTX 4090 if you aim for around 165 FPS at 1440p.
Alternative choices include reducing graphical settings in-game to boost performance.

According to these standards, it really does seem logical that the GPU isn't powerful enough, which is surprising given the varying results on other tests.

The game remained in Beta and he didn't display all of his options.

It varies depending on the game and your position within it.
Yes, that clip begins around 150 frames per second, but as you scroll, for example at 1:26:45, the player's speed drops to about 120 FPS, then further decreases to roughly 107 FPS at 1:26:56, with a slight reduction again.
Also, +1 what Zerk mentioned.

It's puzzling why my brother achieves a higher FPS despite having lower hardware specs. His system includes an AMD 7600 and a 7800 XT Challenger, yet his scores are much better than mine. His Graphic score in TimeSpy is 17474 compared to mine at 21084, and his CPU score is 8665 versus mine's 11624. How can he perform so well under the same settings?

Synthetic benchmarks represent particular metrics used to evaluate something. They always use the same algorithm, often referred to as ideal settings. Games, on the other hand, alter their conditions frequently, making them resemble real-world scenarios. Running identical software on two computers with matching hardware will yield different results, which reflects how systems behave under varied circumstances.
