      Hi all, I just received a new raspberry PI 4 Model B 8GB with 128GB SSD, mini heatsinks, cooling fan, and 3.6 A 5v power adapter. I flashed retropie onto the SD using the raspberry pi imager and plugged it into the unit. Plugged it into the TV and everything seems to be slow. Navigating up/down on the man menu going between options lags. I turned on FPS and that seems to max out at 15. I even followed a guide to overclock to 2000, but didn't really help. I also ran agnostics which did not note any failures. When I try running any N64 games, they lag quite a bit with audio/video and the resolution is really bad. Sorry, I know you're probably looking for more information, but I don't know exactly what is needed or where to get that?

            @mitu thank you! I think after restricting 4k, it started working much better. Still not quite perfect, but it was really bad before. Thank you again.

              @abj it was pretty bad before turning off 4k. Now it's at least playable.
