Question 14600k disappointment

[Classy666]

I play valorant mainly, and I only get 350fps on average (low settings), compared to online benchmarks, my pc should get even 500fps, My monitor is 360hz and my fps drops bellow that alot, my ram xmp is ON and cpu ghz is 5.3 everything is good, I tried disabling hyperthreading and it makes no diffrence. Is it my motherboard issue for not being a z790? In gpu heavy games like r6 siege I find no issues, I get my expectations and also warzone.

my question is: Is 350fps average on 1080p normal on valorant?

1080p
14600kf (aio 360mm)
z690 taichi
32gb 6400mhz
4070 super
1tb nvme 3600 speed
750w gold psu
win 11

what's the problem with 350 fps
You have HT off?

350fps is not what i paid for and what it's being promoted tbh, i though there is smth wrong with my pc that's why i asked this thread

yes Ecores off but usually 25% usage what i get
with HT off or on doesn't make diffrence for me unfortunately

Why do you have ecores off, lol

I have the same cpu usage on low settings, I tried disabling hyperthreading in the bios leaving only the Pcores running, it doesn't make a diffrence in my fps results, i also tried process lasso to give valorant Pcores only and the ecores for my browser/discord/apps. also no diffrence, I tried many ways like xtu overclocking, i saw about 50fps+ and that's it, besides this i guess this is all my pc could achieve that's why I got disapointted

Can you use msi afterburner and tell us the core clocks your cpu runs at?!
What exactly did you do with XTU?

With stock setting at 5.3ghz P and 4.0 E i get the same performance as if i do auto overclock with XTU, i see no diffrence with overclocking.

I heard that could help but no diffrence

Are those the numbers you type in at the bios or the actual numbers while running the game?!
The whole point is to find out what your system is doing when you run the game.
