FPS drop with i7 13700kf and 3060 Ti - help please

[Guy13700]

Hey all,

relatively new to pc gaming - would appreciate your help!

I got a brand new rig,
gaming x, brand new i7 13700kf, 3060 Ti 8GB and water cooling !

and yet,
i get no more than 60FPS on the last of us part 1 with fps drops 1% - all the way to 35FPS...

where is my bottleneck?
what to do or upgrade?

Is the GPU just not up for the task? or am I missing something else?

please help! 35FPS is unplayable...

BTW
i overclocked with MSI afterburner and kombuster -
+160 core clock
+400 memory clock
that's the safe spot w/o freezing...
still get allmost the same results...

Hi @Guy13700,

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this might have caused you. 

Altering the frequency and/or voltage outside of Intel specifications may void the processor warranty. Examples: Overclocking and enabling Intel® XMP, which is a type of memory overclocking, and using the processor beyond the given specifications may void the processor warranty.

 Please help me with the following:

•  What game are trying to play?
•  How are you measuring the FPS? 
•  Did you check the game requirements to make sure your computer is capable of running the game? 

Best regards,
