Hello It’s indeed puzzling that your new PC with seemingly better specifications is performing worse than your old one. Here are a few possibilities and potential solutions:   Driver Issues: Ensure that all your drivers, especially your graphics driver, are up to date. Outdated or incorrect drivers can cause performance issues.   Background Processes: Check for any unnecessary background processes that might be using up your system resources. You can do this via the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc).   Power Settings: Make sure your power plan is set to ‘High Performance’. This can be found in the Control Panel under ‘Power Options’.   Thermal Throttling: Overheating can cause your PC to throttle its performance to cool down. Make sure your PC is well ventilated and the CPU/GPU aren’t overheating.   Hardware Compatibility: Ensure that your hardware components are compatible with each other. For example, some motherboards may not fully support certain CPUs or GPUs, which can lead to performance issues.   Game Settings: Try adjusting the in-game settings. Sometimes, games may have settings that can cause performance issues on certain hardware configurations.   Clean Installation: If you’ve upgraded parts in your PC, a clean installation of Windows might help. This ensures that there are no leftover drivers or software causing conflicts.   Hardware Issues: There could be an issue with one of your hardware components. Try testing your GPU/CPU/RAM with a benchmarking tool to see if they’re performing as expected.   Windows Settings: There are several Windows settings you can adjust for better gaming performance.   If none of these solutions work, it might be worth taking your PC to a professional for a check-up.
