Hey everyone! I'm new to the LTT forum. I recently bought an HP Pavillion PC. The specs are AMD Ryzen 5 3500, gtx 1650 super, 8gb ddr4, 256gb ssd, 400w 80+ psu. I've had it less than 6 months, and it's already having performance issues. I've already done what I can to remove any power limits, made sure Nvidia control panel is set to use the GTX 1650 super, all that good stuff. Any help is appreciated.

Be more descriptive with the performance issues. What are you trying to do, and what are your expectations?

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Fedora 38 x86_64

Secondary: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Fedora 38 x86_64

Server: AMD Athlon PRO 3125GE, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 ECC, TrueNAS Core 13.0-U5.1

Home Laptop: Intel Core i5-L16G7, 8 GB 4267 MHz LPDDR4x, Windows 11 Home 22H2 x86_64

If it's a stuttering issue in new games the answer is pretty simple as the 3500 is just a 6thread cpu. Hp does do dual channel ram by default in their pavilions so that's nice but makes upgrading more expensive as you need a new 16gb kit.

6 real cores is still plenty for most cases. Keep in the 8th gen i5's were at that level.

I'm aware but a lot of games from the past 2 years basically require 8threads to not stutter. Just have a look at cod, battlefield, all recent ubi games (yeah they don't fully count cuz drm but still), cyberpunk,... even gtaV displays this behaviour in some extent and these are off the top of my head.
