Hi,
I recently upgraded from Windows 7 (yes yes, I know..) to Windows 10 Pro version. I selected the 90 day trial version so far and did not get a chance to purchase the activation key, but I am not sure if this is a factor in my issue.
Additionally, I purchased a Samsung 860 QVO 1T SSD as an upgrade from my old HDD. I installed Win10 on the SSD, as well as a few programs to test my Graphics Card.
I updated all of the drivers I could from Windows Update, and downloaded the specific drivers from the manufacturers' websites of my GPU, CPU, and monitor.
Nonetheless, instead of the ~120 or~150 FPS that I get from running programs like CS:GO (on lowest settings), I have been getting anywhere from 30-60 FPS (same settings)...
I have looked through all of the extra Windows 10 features and disabled anything that I figured might be using up resources such as Xbox Capture, and things like that.
Here are my Specs:
CPU: AMD A8-6600K APU
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti
Monitor: ASUS VG27WQ (1440p 144Hz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A78M-HD2 Rev 3.0
SSD: Samsung 860 QVO 1T
HDD: Seagate Barracude 1T
Ram: 8 GB Kingston (DDR3 I think)
PSU: Logisys PS480D with Total Average Output listed as 330 Watts.
Bios Version/Date listed as: "American Megatrends Inc. F1, 1/9/2014"
Windows 7 version was 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 x64 Bit
Windows 10 version is 2004.
I booted from the Hard drive containing Windows 7, tested CS:GO, and had the same 120-150 FPS, so the issue seems to be with Windows 10?
Please let me know if there is any other information that could be helpful in solving this issue I am having. Thank you!
