Gaming Box is Bottlenecking
My entire system is bottlenecking overall, games are unstable, especially when it comes to FPS.
Just even basic navigation throught Windows Desktop is sluggish. Yes, I do the basic maintenance (clear temp files, defrag, clear/fix/degrag registry...etc. etc ...etc...)
Here are my specs :
(I know it's older, but I'm under the impression that my CPU is still worthy)
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 3201 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
MOBO :

As far as gaming, there just isn't much consistency.
Star Citizen 8-50 FPS...typically on avg 15 FPS
DOOM ETERNAL seems to cap @ 60FPS
Escape from Tarkov can get as a high as 130 FPS
Why is my rig so sluggish ? ...and constantly fighting through even just menu's ?
