Troubleshooting Low PC Performance: Seeking Guidance

It can be incredibly frustrating when your personal computer doesn’t perform up to expectations, especially when you know it has the potential to do so. Recently, I conducted some performance benchmarks on my rig and the results were disappointing. My PC’s performance scores were significantly lower than anticipated, and I’m at a loss about the reasons behind it.

After running the UserBenchmark tests, my results were as follows:

• Gaming Performance: 35%
• Desktop Performance: 26%
• Workload Performance: 33%

You can check the detailed performance breakdown from my test here.

Here’s a summary of my hardware components and their individual bench scores:

| Component | Model | Benchmark Percentage |
|—————|———–|————————–|
| CPU | Intel Core i7-8700 | 21.1% |
| GPU | Nvidia GTX 1070 | 70.3% |
| SSD | SK hynix SC311 SATA 128GB | 42% |
| HDD | Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 2TB | 100.1% |
| RAM | Unknown 8ATF1G64AZ-2G6H1 2x8GB | 46.7% |
| Motherboard | Alienware Aurora R7 | – |

As you can see, the disparity in performance levels across various components is concerning. While my graphics card is performing reasonably well at 70.3%, my CPU
