Hi, my brother and I both have the same prebuilt i3 3220 with 8 GB RAM, a 500 GB hard drive, and a 300 W PSU. He has a GTX 750 while I have a GTX 950. In Valorant, he performs better than me even though we have the same PC setup. I used to overclock it but reset it because it might have affected my performance. I can barely reach 1080p at 60 Hz without it dropping, so I have to lower the settings and resolution. Anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? Thanks!

Verify if your system has the newest BIOS and drivers installed. Unless there are problems, 300 Watts is just fine for a GTX 950—it doesn’t consume much power but adds about 30 Watts compared to the 750. What level of overclocking did you apply? Did you turn off XMP, or were you using the same settings in the game?

Could be a simple mistake, but doesn’t seem likely your screen is sharper than yours.

Absolutely, I'm using the newest drivers. I don't know much about BIOS updates—I haven't updated it yet.

Background applications, particularly browsers, can consume system resources.
