Underperforming FPS in CS2 / Valorant compared to identical setups – what could be wrong?

I’ve been running some benchmarks and noticed my PC is underperforming in games like Counter-Strike and Valorant compared to other people with the exact same hardware.

Here are my UserBenchmark results:

Gigabyte GA-B550 GAMING X V2 Performance Results - UserBenchmark

The Numbers:

  • Resolution & Settings: 1440p (2K) on "Low" settings.
  • Expected FPS: 300–500 FPS (what my friend gets with the exact same PC).
  • My Actual FPS: 200–300 FPS (struggling to reach the 300 mark).

My Specs:

  • GPU: AMD RX 9070-XT
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3600 C18 2x16GB
  • SSD1: Kingston SNV2S1000G 1TB
  • SSD2: Kingston A400 240GB
  • MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-B550 GAMING X V2
