I just built a new PC, and I'm experiencing some serious sluggishness. Here are my specs: Ryzen 7 5700G, Gigabyte RTX 5060ti 8GB, TeamGroup 8GB 2400MHz RAM (2x sticks), Gigabyte B550M K motherboard, and an ARESGAME AGV Series 650W Power Supply. I'm using a 1TB SSD, too.
I've noticed that this build feels much slower compared to my previous setup with a 3060. I'm not really sure why it's performing poorly, so any suggestions on what I might need to change or check would be really appreciated!
Detailed examples: I'm mostly gaming at 1440p, with settings like RTX turned off and DLSS on, locked at 60FPS. The games I'm playing include Arc Raiders, FF XIV, and Project Diva Future Tone. My main issues include occasional stutters and frame drops, and it's frustrating because my laptop with a 4070 runs these games much better!

Have you checked what resolution you're playing at and what specific games you're running? It's also helpful to describe when you experience the sluggishness. That could give more clues!

I play at 1440p without RTX and with DLSS on, mostly locked at 60FPS. The games I usually play are Arc Raiders and FF XIV. The sluggishness shows up as sudden stutters and frame drops that can be a pain, especially since my older setup with a 3060 was way smoother.
