Help! My PC is Struggling with Low FPS – Any Fixes?

-

Hey folks! I’m dealing with some frustrating low FPS issues on my PC, and I think it might be tied to my RAM or other parts of my setup. Here are the specs for my machine:

– **CPU:** Intel 8400k
– **GPU:** GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
– **RAM:** 8 GB DDR4 2666 MHz
– **Motherboard:** H310 Pro-M2 (MS-7B28)
– **Operating System:** Windows 11 Home
– Pre-built system: H310 Gaming Codex 3 MS B913

I’ve already tried a few things, like updating all my drivers (GPU and motherboard), booting into safe mode to check for background processes, and I’ve been closing unnecessary tasks to free up resources, but nothing seems to work. I’m not quite sure if it’s a RAM management issue, a hardware problem, or something software-related. Any suggestions on what to check next? Thanks a bunch for your help!

First off, what games are you playing and what are your settings? Your FPS issues can vary greatly depending on those factors. Also, running games at a higher resolution on a GTX 1060 could definitely strain your setup. If you can, try lowering the resolution or your graphic settings to see if that helps.

I can’t provide exact details since I’m not used to the language, but I think he meant to share his settings in Swedish. Maybe switch your game settings to English for future troubleshooting?
