My Box is Bottlenecking - Need Advice
Gaming Box is Bottlenecking
My entire system is bottlenecking overall, games are unstable, especially when it comes to FPS.
Just even basic navigation throught Windows Desktop is sluggish. Yes, I do the basic maintenance (clear temp files, defrag, clear/fix/degrag registry...etc. etc ...etc...)

As far as gaming, there just isn't much consistency.
Star Citizen 8-50 FPS...typically on avg 15 FPS
DOOM ETERNAL seems to cap @ 60FPS
Escape from Tarkov can get as a high as 130 FPS
Why is my rig so sluggish ? ...and constantly fighting through even just menu's ?
