Diagnosing Underwhelming PC Performance: Seeking Insights

In the realm of PC gaming and productivity, performance issues can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you believe your hardware should deliver better results. Recently, I ran a performance benchmark on my PC, and the scores were surprisingly low, leaving me puzzled about the existing issues. I’m reaching out to the community for guidance.

According to the performance test conducted on UserBenchmark, my system’s scores are as follows:

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

Here’s a detailed look at my hardware components and their respective bench scores:

| Component | Model | Performance 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 | |

Given these scores, I’m starting to wonder whether my components are outdated, improperly set up, or perhaps in need of a thorough cleaning. Any insights or recommendations from the community would be greatly appreciated.
