Hey, so in August 2024 I bought some parts to upgrade my prebuilt PC, although the performance has been underwhelming, and to an extent worse than my old PC, is there a reason why this could be the case, or a fix?
Old build
New build
In terms of the performance, I'm not satisfied by when I play my FPS games the editing software (Insights) I used before the change does not perform as it should. I kept gradually increasing the bitrate, until it hit 50,000kbps which is the maximum amount, the FPS is 60, and resolution is set to 1080p, although I changed to source to see if it would change as I use a 1440p monitor. It just stutters every second or so, which doesn't make the clip look nice at all :/
When I play games like Valorant, Wuthering Waves, The First Descendant, the PC gets really hot, understandably so, but my old PC didn't used to get this hot. It has switched off a few times before of the heat (I assume), which is a little annoying in the middle of playing as AFK bans are a thing, or when I'm talking to friends.
It does push out enough power to run The First Descendant at max graphics, which I was completely unable to do on my old setup, but the drawbacks are intense too. Watching a discord stream and playing a game definitely affects my performance and overall PC running visibly, it lags and stutters, which I feel like it really should not be...? Idk, just not too convinced that my PC is performing as good as it should be. Please let me know if I am just horribly wrong.
I'm a little unsure what other specs to post here, so please let me know if I need to show something!
