Something about The Finals

I recently had the opportunity to play the video game The Finals on a very good computer with a 2070 or something along the line (and it was a bit laggy on medium 1080p)

I've always wanted to play this game when I saw the promotion material. On top of being interesting and good looking, it's actually really really fun.

However, after finishing my second quickplay, I got hit really hard by the fact that I would never be able to play such a game on decent quality 60fps. I guess it's not really about The Finals... But since good gpus aren't on the way to become affordable and I hear about some shortages of materials, I guess I have to say byebye to this.

PS: I could put Helldivers 2 here maybe also but I'm not sure

Something seems odd about that, the 2070 should be capable of playing the game maxed @ 1080p
- Might be the CPU of the computer throttling :(
  
  What cpu?
  
  Sorry, can't tell, it was in some sort of gaming room so I don't have access to the computer in question but I assume it might be this since the game goes all over the place with the destructions
  
  Possibly, but more likely the computer was just in need of some cleaning.
  My friend plays Helldivers 2 on his laptop with integrated graphics on medium and hits 30fps. Any CPU from the last 8 years should be enough.
  For the finals, yeah maybe you need something more powerful than that, but not by much. A 2070 is a fantastic GPU, it would be pretty weird to have a GPU from 2018 but a CPU from way earlier.
  
  Might be worth cleaning the computer if you haven't in the last few months. If you're unfamiliar with the process check out some YouTube videos on it, this is as mandatory as changing the oil in a car regularly.
  There's tools like cpuid that can indicate if throttling is occurring.
