I don't think my PC is performing as well as it should it be.

[Dr. Dro]

Your laptop is also sharing that 16gb with the graphics processer.. Alot of the games I have been playing lately dont use more than 10 or 12G of system ram. Sure, big AAA Ported titles need more system memory, but those are specific games, as I mentioned before.

A little of it, yes. But it's a hybrid design, the NVIDIA GPU operates headless and has a dedicated VRAM pool of its own. The key thing to watch out for is that you will never have games fully maxing out your system RAM unless it's just so woefully inadequate and your page file is intentionally limited in capacity that Windows has no other recourse but to terminate the process hogging all the resources.

It is not at all difficult to get 16 GB RAM to the point where it will suffer running a basic amount of software such as web browsers and media players, plus a game to the point that there will be a noticeable reduction in performance. I'd wager this currently hurts OP's PC more than even the fact he's running a bottom of the barrel DDR4 H610 motherboard with all that entails. 32 GB minimum, and thankfully a 32 GB DDR4 kit is $60. OP should upgrade and then worry about it if performance is still inconsistent.

True... I'm not saying it does not have an effect.. I did upgrade from 16 to 32 on this rig because of Jedi Survivor and X4 using all of my system memory at 1440p.. Not everyone plays demanding titles, I know CyberPunk is basically the new Crisis..( dare I say )

Just saying not all games demand more than 16gb a system memory, and on those charts, 4fps average on a single player game..... ..... ZOR-OMG its unplayable now..??

I see only two things at a glance that raise red flags:
1. That MoBo might be a bit questionable on VRM. Check those temps to see if it isn’t overheating and throttling the CPU. Unlikely with a 13400F though.
2. That PSU is, to quote The Rock, “the biggest piece of dogs**t”. I don’t THINK it is causing issues since you are not crashing or artifacting and the 6700XT isn’t the most power hungry card, but checking the power usage during gaming to see if there are any oddities might be prudent.
3. And, as Ked mentioned above, just overall monitoring the temps and power usage might reveal something. You haven’t mentioned what cooling the system has at all, so…

13400f isn't hot by any mean, and it's perfect match for cr*ppiest h610.

I wasn’t talking about CPU temps in this case, although we still haven’t received an answer from the OP on his cooling. I was talking VRM temps. As I said, unlikely, but I’ve seen some REALLY crap VRMs on budget boards, so hey, I was working with what was provided by the OP.

If this board is the same as the H610M-A in this department, it seems to use a 7+1 VRM with cheap Vishay 50A MOSFETs on the high side and 25A(!) on the low side. Any worse and this motherboard would catch fire if you dared run a Core i9 on this. But it'll handle the 13400, that it will. Controller should ASP2100, again, some super low budget chip. It's *probably* OK.

100% in task manager.

You may have CPU thermal throttling. A high risk of that with the push-pin CPU heatsinks!

This looks a lot like symptoms of CPU core temps being too high! Very likely a heatsink mounting problem.

One other thing, related to the video I had just posted. In my case, Cyberpunk doesn't seem to utilize most of my gpu (it's at around 60%), but instead uses most of my cpu (fluctuating between at around 80% as shown by MSIAfterburner and 100% in task manager.
I've been looking at the video trying to figure out if there's any differences between my rig and the uploader, and while there really isn't, the GPU/CPU utilization during that specific gameplay caught my eye.

Then install the software you were told about and monitor your CPU. Is it running full speed? Is it running hot?

From what I can gather looking through the papers I received, the CPU cooler is an ID-Cooling SE-214-XT ARGB, the carcass is an ALPHAGEAR Adept and it provides 4 additional power fans (3 in the front, 1 in the back).

Then install the software you were told about and monitor your CPU. Is it running full speed? Is it running hot?

I did install them and keep track of both the CPU/GPU utilization, after following some advices here CPU is now working at roughly 80-90% at maximum speed(4.60ghz) while the GPU also jumped up from just using 60% to over 90%; I followed pretty much every advice and it does seem that the game is a tiny bit smoother.

First thing to do with a prebuilt is make certain they enabled XMP for the ram in the UEFI.

I did that, went into the BIOS and enabled it; there were a few advices here that helped me squeeze a few more FPS, to which I am extremely grateful for. I will try to upgrade my MoBo as well as my CPU later in the year, get some DDR5 RAMs as well.

I would say the first thing to do is to make sure they used 2 sticks of RAM. Too often, in order to claim upgradeability, manufacturers use cheap mobos with only 2 slots and leave one empty. But that's something you'd check before you buy.

yes I meant the same lol. Maybe it's the case of strange "GIGABYTE H610M K DDR4" (I call it "strange because of OBVIOUS ASUS style naming lmfao), you can see compared to others cheapest H610 boards it has somewhat less "cubes" on the VRM side.. lol
