My friend and I are testing our game using two different CPUs. I have an Intel Core i5-12600KF, while my friend has an Intel Core i7-6700 running at 4.00GHz.

For our test, we ran the 'Basic App' in the engine tutorial to see how many FPS we would get.

My i5 delivered over 6000 FPS (https://i.gyazo.com/235f69a260a6089d468f...6ffc.png),

whereas my friend's i7 only achieved 120 FPS and lock at this fps (https://i.gyazo.com/e72c6e1fc3211b9856ec...e97dab.png)

We recognize the differences and advantages of each processor. Although we are not experts in CPU technology, we do not fully understand how the CPU architecture may impact the performance of the current version of the Titan engine. But 120FPS for a blank screen is a really low number.

Meanwhile, my friend's computer can run games like Battlefield 5, Battlefield 1, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare at a good FPS with maxed-out settings. However, when we run our current game project on his computer, it only achieves around 35 to 50 FPS in most cases. We initially suspected that there might be a programming issue, so we ran the 'Basic App' for a pure benchmark.

Could you provide us with a better explanation or a solution to improve the FPS on my friend's computer? By the way, his graphics card is a GTX 1060 6GB.

120 FPS Maybe friend had vsync on.
Also make sure to have latest GPU drivers, and make sure that dedicated GPU gets selected and not integrated. Which GPU gets used can be verified with D.deviceName

Both of use use D.sync(false). I will try the D.deviceName

GPU Driver could override that setting

Here is what my friend has:
Same result and GPU name, FPS is still locked at 120 for both running apps, my friend's monitor is 60hz, vsync is off both in app and nvidia settings

I wonder what is the bottleneck here, it shouldnt be

There is no bottleneck here, something is artifically locking the FPS.

your friend has "Power management mode" set to optimal power, try changing it to maximum performance or adaptive instead and see if that changes anything.

if that changes it, then it is because the program simply is not taxing the GPU enough for it to consider going into a higher power state, but due to optimal power being chosen it would restrict itself to the lowest needed for a specific target, which seems in this case to be ~120FPS

Also:
Nvidia control panel scrolling a bit up should also have a 'Max Frame Rate', if this is anything but 0 if I understand the setting correct that is the locked FPS 'not the same as vsync'

I am not sure how NVidia handles game specific profiles if it encounters a game it doesn't know about etc.

alternatively your friend is using something like Rivatuner for CPU usage/VRAM load/FPS counter or other software and have the FPS limiter enabled, I believe it's default setting is 120FPS for Rivatuner 'not the same as vsync'
