Posted March 29, 2019 Hi lovely people I recently encounter strange "low fps" experience on pretty much every game I have played. Even though I upgraded my parts of my PC, problems still exist. Let me list my build parts then details the problem. Old----------->>New b85 asrock anniversary ----------------> Asus X470 Prime Pro Xeon E3 1230 v3 ------------------------> Amd 2700X (@4.0) gskill rapjaw DDR3 1600 4gx2 -------> Adata DDR4 3000 8Gx2( both new and old setup work as dual channel) Evga 600b ---------------------------------> SF-550P14XE (brand name is superflower, ps gets 110w for+3.3v and +5v; 546w for +12v) HDD WD 7200 Blue 1T-------------> does not change, has been running with care(keep in cool and dry condition) MSI GTX970 OC --------------------> does not change, has been running with care too, recently I changed paste for it but it did not help out Windows 7 pro ----------------------------> has keep updated until Nov. 2018 (updates in Dec. 2018 made huge lag even on watching linus on youtube so I uninstalled them via CMD) ---------------------------------- Couple noticeable things: 1) GPU usage never reach about 45% among all game I have played recently: csgo, path of exile, re 2, farcry newdawn, warframe and so on. 2) I have tried all possible solution via software settings such as nvidia control board, msi afterburner forcing fan running max speed and oc a little bit, all windows setting are proper 3)HDD had been defragged ----------------------------------- So these are pretty much all, I hope some good tech geeks can help me detect where is the issue and hopefully comes out a solution... thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I forget the most important part, re2 30fps-15fps inside of police office ,csgo 60fps but 20fps when get hitted or fire guns against others, warframe: 40fps and lower everywhere, newdawn : 20-40fps but lagging hard and so on. my monitor is xl2411Z benq running at 144hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, first instinct would be you're running on the CPUs integrated graphics with your monitor plugged in to the motherboard instead of the graphics card... But since neither of your CPUs have integrated graphics, that's not an option That's definitely low FPS. Is it always at the low FPS or does it start out higher like 100+FPS and then after you play a bit it drops down? 39 minutes ago, neoplefuckedup said: Couple noticeable things: 1) GPU usage never reach about 45% among all game I have played recently: csgo, path of exile, re 2, farcry newdawn, warframe and so on.

All drivers are updated to latest, but some point, I keep relatively new nvidia driver version due to the latest one causing performance issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the fan on the CPU cooler spinning when the system is turned on? cpu usage varies, because games nowadays not fully support all threads to work hard. but usually around 50+70 i would say Temp. never reached about 80C and I open the side glass board all the time (but it is super clean in the computer case) and fps just gets relative low and lower since beginning of playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 29, 2019 4 minutes ago, neoplefuckedup said: and fps just gets relative low and lower since beginning of playing What about GPU temp? If it starts out with normal performance then drops it could be thermal throttling as you play and things heat up. I'd recommend running MSI afterburner with the on screen display enabled showing CPU usage/temp/clock speed and GPU usage/temp/clock speed while you play so you can see exactly what is happening when performance starts dropping.

As I mentioned both my old cpu xeon 1230v3 and new 2700x are running at relatively chill temp, 2700x never reach about 75 while gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
