I had to upgrade my hardware to improve the game performance. A good GPU, CPU, and RAM can definitely make a huge difference. Also, it’s essential to optimize your settings and also close unnecessary programs to improve performance.
Tips for improving gaming performance?

It is important to properly maintaining a PC by cleaning out dust from inside your computer to stop thermal throttling to the CPU where the CPU slowdown the CPU to prevent overheating the CPU.
Upgrading the computer's cooling system maybe needed if your computer is thermal throttling very often because your CPU and video card is always running very hot because your current cooling fans are not good enough to cool your computer parts.
Users may need to upgrade their motherboard, CPU heatsink, and RAM if they want to upgrade their CPU to a different model or brand like Intel to AMD because the new CPU and RAM won't fit on the user's old motherboard, and the old CPU heatsink won't fit on the new CPU and motherboard.
Upgrading to a higher wattage and higher quality power supply on a Desktop PC maybe necessary if the old power supply is not powerful enough to run newer more power intensive computer parts.
