Yeah, but you can't expect every game to be like that, most games I expect it to run great at 2K resolution so you wouldn't have to sacrifice any resolution.
You can also change the graphics quality for higher fps

Isn't that it can go as high up as 4.6Ghz?

My mobo is Asus ROG Strix Z390 F and RAM module is Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz (XMP 2.0).

I have already enabled XMP.

Running corsair icue? try quitting it. currently a long ass thread about intel and AMD users with broken turbo and idle functions, and you've got some corsair hardware...

This thread has been discussing the problem for over a year and corsair has only just started looking into it.
