Question My PC is underperforming

[Necrohit]

Hi, I previously posted about this trouble in the past and haven't got a solution or an exact reason yet. One of my friends and me got the exact same pc (bought it in the same place), and he's been able to get a much better performance in gaming with his PC compared to mine. For example, Minecraft runs very poorly in my pc, even in the low to medium settings I get like 50 - 60 fps, and a horrible stuttering and frame drop every time I move. In other games like Battlefield V and GTA V is a very similar problem, can get a fps count of 60 - 90 fps yet with a lot of stuttering, low frame rate and horrible frame drops (low to medium settings in both with 1080p and same case with 1440p).



I know that is not a bottleneck nor my components are bad, because I've seen benchmarks in the same games, and I've seen the PC of my friend, and they always have a smooth high fps experience in those games.

I want to check with you guys if maybe my pc has something wrong or if it is normal for it to perform like that, and of course, what should I do to fix it.



PC SPECS:

Mother Asrock A520M - HVS // Ryzen 5 3600 (Stock cooler and no OC) // RTX 2060 6GB Phoenix 1 fan // 32 GB RAM DDR4 3200Mhz (Running on XMP and both slots filled with one 16gb ram of the same brand and model) // NVE M.2 1TB // HDD 1TB (This one does not have games in it nor is the operative system installed in this one) // PSU 650 WTS // Windows 10 pro

If your computers are identical, check that every single one of your BIOS settings is exactly the same as those in your friend's machine. That will help to rule out one possible difference.

When you say you've seen "benchmarks in the same games" have you run benchmarks on both computers and got the same results?

A rather controversial test might be to clone your friend's boot drive on to a spare SSD, then fit the cloned drive in your PC and boot up from it. If your friend's drive works fine in your PC, you'll know something is wrong with the OS or software on your drive.

If your friend is really trusting, you could start swapping components between the two PCs, but you might end up breaking something.
