I have a prebuilt HP Pavilion PC equipped with an Intel i7 11700F and an NVIDIA 3060 Ti 8GB. However, I'm having a hard time running games like Arc Raiders even on low settings, as well as FIFA. Could my GPU be faulty?

First, check if your monitor is connected to the graphics card instead of the motherboard. Sometimes if the display is plugged into the motherboard, it won't leverage the GPU's power.
What about your RAM capacity and speed? Also, what's your monitor's resolution? It could help to know how long you've had the PC and if this issue happens with other games or just these specific titles.
Honestly, your specs aren't exactly top-tier. They were considered mid-range back in 2021. That might also be contributing to the gaming performance problems you're facing.
If you're unsure, use some benchmark software to test your GPU's performance. It might help you identify if there's something wrong.

Good point! I'm not too familiar with Intel CPUs—does the i7 11700F have an integrated GPU?
