So I have an i7 9700 intel @ 3.00Ghz.... but it runs like trash. I cannot even play games like Starbound without the RAM slowing down. The video card is average its an RTX 1650, but isnt bad. I tried going into overclock in the BIOS but it is locked, woth no way to turn it on. I cannot access xmp either. Do I have to buy a whole new motherboard.... or is there anything I can do?
 
Solution
Overclock ram?
You have 2666mhz ram and it is operating at 2666mhz.
There's no overclocking room for it.

You want a better gaming performance? Get a better graphics card.

Okay thank you, I figured that was the case. Why is a weak game like Starbound constantly lagging though? I certainly have a strong enough Graphics card to play that, so I thought it was a RAM issue.

And now I'm playing Fallen Order on the lowest settings, so whatever you suggested helped. I guess I'll have to look ata new graphics card (and potentially a new power supply, and case if the graphics card needs the upgrades...)
