Asked by NebulaDancer92
I'm experiencing frame drops and lag while playing various games like Fortnite, Battlefield, and Call of Duty. My setup includes a 9070 XT graphics card, a 7500F CPU, and 16GB of DDR5 RAM. Should I adjust my game settings or is there something else I should check?

If you're up against frame drops, check if you're using single or dual-channel memory with your 16GB RAM. Also, is your memory getting full? That can lead to lag, especially under heavy loads.

Are you playing at 1080p? You might want to look at your CPU temperatures and usage while gaming. High temps or maxed-out usage can really impact performance.

I play at 2K resolution, and I see my GPU usage hitting 100% while my CPU stays around 70-80%. When that happens, my FPS takes a big hit. Optimizing graphics settings could help!
