I’ve recently had an issue getting stable frames out of almost any game on my rig. Specs are as follows (Copied from Speccy);

Summary Operating System Windows 11 Pro 64-bit

	CPU
		Intel Core i5 8600K @ 3.60GHz
		Coffee Lake 14nm Technology
	RAM
		16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4 @ 1068MHz (15-15-15-36)
	Motherboard
		ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. PRIME Z370-A II (LGA1151)
	Graphics
		OMEN 27i IPS (2560x1440@165Hz)
		4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (MSI)
	Storage
		2794GB Seagate ST3000DM008-2DM166 (SATA )
		931GB SanDisk Ultra 3D NVMe (Unknown (SSD))
		465GB Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB (Unknown (SSD))
	Optical Drives
		No optical disk drives detected
	Audio
		NVIDIA High Definition Audio

What could be causing the issue? I have Windows 11 installed, but I feel like games used to work better on Windows 10. For example, I’ve been playing Spider-Man Remastered, and am struggling to get above 50fps even on DLSS Ultra Performance. Any advice? Is my CPU bottlenecking my GPU? Is my RAM too slow or too little?

    I see a HDD in the mix. My son’s gamer PC had issues so we cloned it to SSD and all better. But I don’t expect stable frame rates because what’s going on changes in games so it’s normal for the FPS to jump around. Unless you put a monster system together and then cap the frame rate.
