I recently bought a gaming PC from a friend who built it himself. On paper, the specs look solid, but I'm struggling to maintain stable performance in any game I try. I've changed drivers and reset the PC multiple times, but nothing seems to help. Here are some FPS issues I'm facing:
- **League of Legends:** FPS fluctuates, going from around 140 down to 80.
- **World of Warcraft:** Generally around 100 FPS, but can drop to 60.
- **CS2:** Stays at 140 FPS at times, but then dips to 70.
Here are the specifications of the PC:
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (8 cores, 3.8 GHz)
- RAM: 16 GB
Any troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

Check if your RAM is running in dual channel and see if XMP is enabled in your BIOS. Incorrect RAM settings can also lead to performance drops.
That CPU (5700G) might be underwhelming compared to your GPU. It has only 16 MB of L3 cache, which can limit its performance. Consider upgrading to a better CPU, like the 5700X.
First off, make sure your monitor is plugged into the GPU instead of the motherboard. This is a common mistake that can cause performance issues.
If your FPS drops suddenly, it might be due to thermal throttling. After playing for a while, check the temperatures of your CPU and GPU. If they go above 85°C, that's probably the issue.
Your GPU could be overheating, which would drop your FPS drastically. Make sure there's no dust buildup and check the thermal paste on the cooler. Use a monitoring tool like HWinfo64 to track your temps during gameplay.
