I have an ASUS H610 motherboard and an Intel i5-14400F processor with 32GB of CL36 6000MHz RAM. My motherboard doesn't support XMP, so I can't utilize the maximum speed of my RAM. I'm wondering if this limitation is affecting my RAM's timing speed. I play Fortnite with friends occasionally, but my performance has dropped; I'm getting less than 160Hz with my 5060 Ti at 1080p in DirectX 12. All performance modes seem inconsistent, and my Minecraft Java performance is also lower than expected. I've done some GPU and CPU stress tests, and they are fine. I was able to play Fortnite at medium settings in 1080p at around 200 FPS initially, but now it just runs poorly. It might be related to shader cache, but I'm not sure. Any insights would be appreciated!

What MHz and timings is your RAM running right now? If other games are performing similarly to how they used to, it might be worth checking if any Fortnite settings were changed or if an update introduced new graphics features by default. Also, do you have a monitor that can exceed 160Hz? A drop from 200Hz to 160Hz is pretty minimal as long as your FPS is stable.
I'm stuck at 4800MHz, which is frustrating since my RAM is rated for 6000MHz. I don't know the timings, but I do have a 180Hz display and I'm playing at lower settings, yet my FPS is not stable at all.
