Friend who has a slightly worse laptop (newly bought) runs better than mine

[ZVortexs]

My friend who has an TUF asus A15 with 2050 and ryzen 5 7000 series and 8gb ram can run marvel rivals on 100+ fps. Me with the same laptop model (TUF A15) rtx 3060, ryzen 7 5800H and 8 gb ram cant even get 60 fps on practice range and barely reaching 40 on most maps. My other friend who is using a work laptop who doesnt even have an external GPU can run it on 60 fps Any solutions or ideas on why I cant get high fps? Are my components getting old? please give me solutions and not bash me for having an old laptop.

8GB is way to low to even run windows explorer.. 32GB minimum

I still dont understand how my friend who has 8gb ram still manage to get 100+fps with lower ram and specs than mine. 32 GB minimum is certainly way too high, 16 gb ram maybe.

format your pc if you havent done it and clean it with some air to move the dust out. He probably doesnt have a bunch of junk apps stealing most of his pcs power or its just running better cause its clean brand new.

you might have some formatting issues going on or a ton of background processes id run a diagnostics on your pc and check the ram health while you are at it. make sure everything is up to date including your bios and make sure your pc is set to performance instead of balanced. my wife with a 3060 currently runs 150-250 fps easily on medium quality and 100-150 on high while on performance mode.

100% something is wrong with your pc and likely its best to go get it checked.

also what temp does your laptop run at? if above 95c how long has it been running that high?

theres alot that could play into why your pc is running so poorly (best bet take it to microcenter and ask them to help you) or do it yourself!

also whats your screen 1920x1080 or 2k or 4k? and what HZ is your monitor do you have HDR on etc.

look into all of this example 1920x1080 on her laptop she gets 200fps+ when i increase it to 2k its closer to 150fps or 4k 80-120fps she often lowers her resolution in these games to increase fps and decrease heat.

a healthy temp is 75-80C while gaming if its higher than this try and get an external fan for your laptop or if you can yourself check the thermal paste (if you dont use liquid metal) and replace it. otherwise taking it into a store to get it done for you will be your best option.

Both me and my friend are using 1920x1080 no hdr, both 144 hz but I lowered it to 80 hz due to asus screen problems.
