I'm facing a major issue with my gaming performance. Even though my PC has top-tier components that exceed the requirements for every game I've tried, my FPS can still be dreadful in some titles. This is confusing, especially since my friends, who have lower-end setups, seem to run the games more smoothly. I've done quite a bit of troubleshooting but feel like there's still something I haven't considered. Can anyone provide some insights or suggestions?

First off, can you share your specs with us? Also, make sure you're using an HDMI cable directly connected to your graphics card and not the motherboard. And have you installed the correct drivers? Any of these issues could seriously impact your game performance.
Also, double-check if your HDMI cable is actually 2.1 compatible!
It’s a bit strange that you say you’ve tried a lot but haven’t listed any specific steps. If you don’t share what you’ve done, it's tough for us to suggest further solutions. Can you tell us what troubleshooting measures you've already taken?
I’d recommend checking your Task Manager while running a game. Look for the performance tab to see if your GPU is being utilized correctly. Sometimes the system might default to integrated graphics instead of your dedicated GPU! Make sure everything is set up right with your drivers as well.
Good call! It's super important to ensure it's using the right graphics card.
And don’t forget to check if it’s using the correct output connections!
Make sure that your monitor is actually plugged into your graphics card! It sounds basic, but it's an easy mistake to overlook.
We really need to know your hardware specs like motherboard, RAM, processor, and graphics card. A common culprit for issues like this can be the memory timing setup. If you can, share a screenshot from CPU-Z so we can get a clearer picture.
These are crucial questions! Missing any of these steps can really draw down your performance.
