Hey, new here. So i recently started to notice some slowdown on my PC that hasn't happened before. This has been solved with simple tweaks and defragging the hard drive, but the biggest thing to me that stands out is that my graphics card is under performing, so it seems. Lemme break it down:
My rig is prebuilt (before i really knew anything about computers) with Windows 10 and includes an Intel i7 4790k, 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 memory, a 500w power supply and a GTX 1050 TI on a Kalli2 MSI motherboard running the Intel Z97 chipset.
I feel as if I'm underperforming in games, with the only way to get 60 FPS on Sea of Thieves (A game that recommends a 660, for reference) is to put the game on lowest settings, where I see others getting about 90 on those settings. DOOM suffers from similar frames, and i have no idea what the problem is. Part incompatibility? Bottlenecking? Whatever the case, help would be appreciated!
