Your memory is clocked extremely low.

 

It might be that your motherboard and memory are what is preventing your PC from running games as well as they should, you have an i5 7500 and a 2060 for crying out loud. What kind of motherboard format does your case allow?

Please quote me in your messages so that I am notified!

Remember to mark my post as answer if it answered your question!

Thank you! 😄

7500's clock speed is nothing to boast about, and definitely not core count

DDR = Double Data Rate

With Speccy and others you need to double it to get the true speed.

i wasn't very smart when i built my computer it originally had a 1060 3gb ( yes i know)... i only upgraded the gpu cause i found it cheap and i need a new one to play boneworks

i knew it would bottleneck but it works fine in VR so it doesnt bother me to much
