Hi all,
About 3 months ago I bought a prebuilt PC (a Medion Erazer Engineer X10 MD35188) that was on sale for 1400 bucks. I know, a prebuild, stupid decision, but I was desperately in need of a new pc so decided to go for it. The specs are an RTX 3070 with a i7 11700, so that all looked very good. I checked some benchmarks on YouTube and did some research on google to make sure it would be getting some nice FPS. And it looked like it did. Now I can't say that I'm completely unsatisfied, since it's still a huge upgrade from my gtx 1060 and i5 6400, but my pc isn't hitting the FPS that it's supposed to according to benchmark vids made by people with the same specs running their 11700's at 4.3something ghz. What I'm suspecting to be the problem is that the CPU is running at about 3.6ghz under full load while gaming. On single core performance it's supposed to run at 4.9ghz and on all 8 cores on 4.4ghz. So the 3.6 is way too low. At least I think so? I'm not an expert but that's why I'm here. This results in me getting 90fps in BF5 instead of 120-130ish. I've been trying to play around with the bios, but Medion used their own motherboard locking most of the BIOS settings (sigh). Does anyone have any clue why while gaming it never runs over 3.8ghz on CPU dependent games? And does anyone know how to up the speed so I can get the experience this badass pc should be giving me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time![Smile :) :)](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif)
