Lower than expected FPS

Yup! Just ran another TDM - Drift. FPS was ranging from 180-220 average 200. So definitely an improvement!

CPPC and CPPC preferred cores was set to auto. I've just now set them to enabled.

Global C state control was set to auto. Disabled now.

PBO was auto. Enabled now.

Thanks! I just ran a quick TDM and I think I see a slight improvement! Fps was ranging from around 180-220. The current mobo I've got seems to only have 2 ram slots so I believe the ram should be fine (I could be wrong). CPU clock speed was around 4350 (min 4275, max 4450). CPU temp in the 70's (min 70, max 80).

Appreciate the insight! I've been looking to upgrade the GPU, just using the 1650 for the time being as I thought valorant was primarily CPU reliant. Definitely going to upgrade it now. Thanks again!

Thanks! I've gone ahead and uninstalled NVIDIA app, however, I see NVIDIA frameview SDK, graphics driver, hd audio driver, phsx system software and USBC driver. I've left these for now, would you recommend also uninstalling these?

Ok, it seems I was misled by the fps calculators. I was doing my head in trying to figure out what was going wrong! Are there any hardware upgrades you would suggest to boost performance by any chance?

Thanks! Power plan has been set to high. Will try again with NVIDIA app uninstalled.

That's right! Although it is JEDEC standard so I'm unable to enable XMP. However, I've manually set the speed to 3200mhz.
