I recently picked up a used 2700X CPU and 2070 Super GPU from a friend. He claimed that he used to get over 400 FPS in Valorant on lower settings, but when I play League of Legends, my FPS only sits around 110-120. A couple of things to note: my CPU tends to run a bit hot since I'm using an air cooler, but it never exceeds 77°C. Also, I've tried adjusting the graphics settings from low to high, and my FPS remains about the same. Is my hardware not performing well enough for League, or is there something else going on?

Yeah, your friend definitely exaggerated! 😂 But as for your FPS situation, remember that League is not as demanding as some other games, so even a solid setup can give you varying results based on other factors.
It sounds like your friend might have been a bit off with that 400+ FPS claim. Also, it's interesting that you’re not seeing a change in FPS when switching settings. That could hint at a CPU bottleneck or that the game is not fully utilizing your GPU's power. You might want to monitor both CPU and GPU usage while playing to see where things are getting held back.
That makes sense! If the CPU is maxed out while the GPU isn't working hard, that's a clear sign of bottlenecking.
