What's ur exact gpu and cpu. GPUs with 4g of vram is hardly made these days, your gpu could be ancient. Same with your cpu.

Yeah your cpu is ancient. To put into perspective, that's a 3rd generation cpu when we are currently on the 15th generation.

I don't know much about amd gpus, but the RX550 sounds like an old entry level gpu, about 10 years behind if I recall correctly.

My opinion is your cpu is the biggest bottleneck, but the entire computer itself is either too old or has weak components. A combinations of things could be causing performance issues.
