My friend has been experiencing really low FPS in every game he plays, even those that are generally easy to run. His PC specs include an i3 14100f, a GTX 1660 Super, and 16 GB of RAM, but he's only getting around 10 FPS, even in games like GTA V. We're trying to figure out what might be causing this issue.

I wouldn't call that a bad setup! The GTX 1660 Super is still decent, especially for 1080p gaming if you're okay with lower settings. I upgraded my setup for 1440p, but the 1660 Super performed well for me. Just ensure the GPU is seated properly and that there aren't any dust or overheating issues affecting its performance.
Honestly, those specs are starting to show their age, especially with newer games. An i3 and a lower-tier GPU like the 1660 Super might be underwhelming for some of today's demands. Plus, game optimization can vary a ton; just look at GTA's history! Might be worth looking into cleaning up the system too, to ensure there's nothing slowing it down.
Yeah, you're not entirely wrong about that. Despite the specs, the games themselves can really vary in how they perform. Just a clean setup can sometimes make all the difference!
Hey! One thing to try is running a system file check. Your friend can do this by opening the Command Prompt as an Administrator and typing 'sfc /scannow' to check for any potential issues. It might help identify what's going wrong.
You should check if the GPU was plugged in correctly. Sometimes a loose connection can really mess with performance. Also, keep in mind that GTA V has had a rocky optimization history, so even decent hardware can struggle with it sometimes.
Exactly! The 1660 Super is quite capable. If he's getting low FPS, it might be an optimization issue with the game or something else. GTA V isn't the best for performance, but it's not that demanding with the right settings.
