you're dealing with a complex setup but the issue seems tied to stability rather than raw performance. The fluctuations you're seeing could stem from power delivery, cooling, or RAM timing. Check your PSU for adequate wattage and ensure it's properly cooled. Also, verify RAM stability—sometimes faulty modules cause erratic FPS drops. Consider testing with a different GPU or upgrading to a more stable component if possible. Let me know what you try!
As above, and the fact you're using a 2400 MHz stick either. Your i3-10100 and your motherboard supports 2666 MHz, could say getting 2x8 GB 2666 MHz stick would be the best option. Either, did you check the temps of your CPU/GPU either? There's a huge chance you have such abysmal performance simply because your hardware went throttling.
Indeed having a 2x8 16GB RAM will help with pretty much everything I recommend getting it. GPU is decent but a better one will net you massive performance although i see this is a pretty budget build so getting a big video card upgrade is gonna also need a cpu upgrade which will also require the mobo upgrade and so on.. Probably the cheapest option is just getting another 8gb stick of the same putting you at 16gb just make sure you match your current ram stick speed. Getting a better GPU doesn't necessarily mean you have to upgrade other parts you'll just have big bottleneck on the cpu for sure and you'll have to check your power supply is adequate enough . Also monitor refresh rate, game graphics settings, and drivers can impact performance between similar systems greatly.
I notice three issues here—two significant and one less obvious. 1. The system uses a single stick of RAM, missing the dual-channel setup. 2. It only has 8GB of memory. 3. Most games are likely running on a hard drive instead of an SSD.
Likely a combination of factors: limited memory speed due to background tasks, possibly outdated storage devices restricting data access, and a claimed requirement of just 4GB RAM that may not suffice at high frame rates—likely causing stability issues.
Do you think 90 frames per second is too fast? I have some concerns about your rig.
