Right so when I play some higher graphic games my fps plummet if I’m in a car or something as obviously I’m going faster however my gpu and cpu usage both stay quite low
also if I decide to upgrade what should I upgrade first
specs:

gpu: msi 1070 8GB slightly overclocked
CPU: intel core i7 10700F overclocked to 3.6GHZ
Ram: 2X8GB ddr4-3200
Motherboard: MSI B460M PRO-VDH
