Not using my specs to my full potential

I’ve had this problem with my PC for a while now. I bought it from the Facebook Marketplace (my first PC) for $150, and the seller claimed to have installed a fresh Windows OS. However, the problem is that my PC jumps in performance, and I’m wondering if there’s a way to fix it.

I’ve asked my friends for advice, but they suggested updating the BIOS, changing the RAM speed, and downloading the latest drivers. Still, nothing seems to work. It’s like when I have my PC running at high settings, the FPS drops, but for some reason, the percentage of the GPU and RAM goes down to the level it would have if they were supposed to support the graphics. I’m not sure what’s causing this, but I feel like I can pull more power from my PC than it currently is.

I’ve attached some pictures to illustrate the issue. There seems to be something blocking the CPU, but it’s only at 56%. I’ll also add my PC specifications to this message. I’m hoping that you guys can help me figure out what’s causing this problem. It happens with almost all the games I play, so I don’t think it’s the game settings themselves. Any tips on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. I’ve already updated the drivers and the NVIDIA app that was downloaded when I updated the drivers.

Thinking of going back to console

I recently got a PC a couple of months ago, and I thought I’d enjoy gaming on it. However, almost every game I’ve played on my PC is available on a console. I’ve been contemplating going back to consoles, and I’m here to ask if there are any games you’d recommend that could change my mind. I’m interested in FPS single-player games or even entire franchises. I’ve played the basics of games like Fortnite, Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, Minecraft, Apex Legends, Battlefield redsec, and Ready or Not. None of these games really captivated me. I’m looking for something that will intrigue me, whether it’s an underrated or overrated game. I just want something new and exciting.

How to prevent smudging

Hey everyone, I’m brand new to tattooing and this is the first fake skin I’ve ever done, so I’m still learning.
After I finished, I wiped everything down and stained the fake skin to make it look cleaner, but I’m left with these smudges/ghost marks that won’t come off. I’m not sure if it’s something I did wrong while tattooing, how I cleaned it, or just the type of fake skin.
Does anyone know what causes this or how to prevent it? Is there a better way to wipe it down or remove the staining without leaving these marks?
Any advice or constructive criticism would be really appreciated. Thanks! (I’d like to point out that this is a hobby more then a career I just like the idea of tattoos so I thought I’d give it a try)

NA] [PC] New to Siege on PC, looking for people to learn with

Looking for some people to play R6 on PC with. I just switched to PC, so I’m still new to mouse and keyboard and honestly PC gaming in general.
I’m on the free version right now, so no Ranked yet. Just looking for chill people to play Quick Match or Standard with and help me learn. Any age is fine, just don’t be toxic.
Drop your Ubisoft or Discord if you’re down.
