The i512400f is not functioning correctly.
I own an i5 12400f with a 3050 12gb paired with 8gb RAM. On Valorant, FPS is generally between 150-190 max. Apex Ultra hits around 80+ fps, while R6 Ultra averages 90 fps or less. I've adjusted BIOS and tweaked settings but nothing seems to improve performance. This setup was built about four weeks ago—could you help me?
You're facing a common challenge with your system. With only 8GB RAM, you'll need to decide between one or two sticks to ensure smooth performance. Modern gaming demands more memory than this provides, so consider upgrading. Regarding temperatures, they can spike significantly during intense gaming sessions, especially under load.
Here are some clarified points:
A setup with 8GB RAM totals 16GB, which is generally sufficient for most games currently. However, 8GB is insufficient now, but 16GB remains adequate. There isn’t a 3050 model with 12GB—only 3050 has 8GB and 3060 has 12GB. If you own a 3050, its graphics performance will likely be limited. For gaming, aim for more FPS than your monitor’s refresh rate; otherwise, extra frames won’t be visible. A 120Hz display won’t benefit from 200 FPS output.
