Question Low fps on games - RTX 3070 please help

[validinf]

Hello guys, I have been having this issue where my framerates in games are surprisingly low. I have a gaming rig with rtx 3070 , i7-10700k and 16gb ram. When I play forza horizon 5, I only get around 40-60 fps on ultra settings but other people with the same specs as mine get way more fps than me. My friend gets around 100 fps and he plays on his RTX 2060. My GPU usage is around 97-99% and my CPU usage is around 26-30% and my ram only uses 5-6Gb of ram but it takes around 12 gb of ram for my friend and gets higher fps.

Here's what I've tried:
DDU uninstall
reinstalling windows
Disabling HTEP
overclocking
high priority

How long have you been running your rig and/or OS?

I'm assuming you have ALL of your drivers updated? MOBO, chipset, nvidia, intel, and everything else?

You've got the hardware, it just sounds like they're not communicating with each other properly. If not the drivers, a bottle neck somewhere.

Was it running at full capacity at one point then lost performance? Like had it then lost it? How do your other games perform?

In my experience, whenever you reinstall windows, everything needs to "break in" before you hit max performance - seems to take about a week.

When I run forza my gpu usage would be at 98-99% then cpu wouldn't even reach 30%. I checked the temps and its showing only 36-40 degrees.
I used to get like 80 fps which is still bad but now I get around 40-60. My ram only uses 6gb

I've seen youtube videos of benchmarks and they get better fps than me with the same specs

I would think so, your rig seems great on paper.

You didn't answer my one questions though, how do your other AAA games run and have you had the Forza issue from the get-go?

Can you run userbenchmark and share the public link to the results.

Could you have unplugged anything? Check the GPU is seated properly on the PCI slot and all the power connectors are firmly connected.

ok so I enabled xmp and this is the updated benchmark

They are all seated properly and connected
