FPS issues with good spec PC :(

[mattapostolou]

Hi,

 

First post on here, hope it gets out there.

 

Having a serious problem with my gaming rig. I have upgraded most of my hardware to a point where I should be running games on high / ultra over 60-80 fps.

 

But after testing on GTA V with most settings on high i was getting constant stuttering and couldnt get higher that 28fps. Battlefield was unplayable (tried DX11 / 12 , vsync off etc.)

 

My cinebench score was normal for my CPU (777cb) , but open GL was 86.95 fps (seen lesser gpu's do loads more). I've updated all drivers and just installed 16gb ddr4 ram (prev 8gb)

 

Specs:

Corsair CX650M 650W Bronze Power Supply

Gigabyte B150M-D3H Motherboard

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Windforce, 8GB

Intel Core i7 6700

Seagate Desktop HDD 2TB, ST2000DM001

Samsung 240GB SSD

GSkill Ripjaw 2400mhz DDR4 RAM 16GB (bought yesterday but didnt fix issue)

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, have spent so much money the last couple weeks on upgrades and am not getting near the performance i should be

Might be a stupid question, but do you have you monitor plugged into your motherboard by mistake?

Not a stupid question at all  any help is great!

 

Nah the monitor is plugged into hdmi from the GPU

Lets go down the list then.

 

Is your RAM running at full speed in dual channel??

 

Do you have temperatures and load % of CPU and GPU when in games??

he's not going to see that you responded to him since you didn't quote him. Use the arrow in the box that the comment is also in.

RAM running normal and had the issue prior to the 16gb upgrade as well  

I dont atm sorry! do you know what % CPU should be at approx in a game like battlefield? at what point is a concerning amount?

BF5 multiplayer will load i7 6700 to 65% and higher.

 

I suggest you get MSI afterburner, and monitor CPU/GPU/RAM usage and temperatures. Do a couple of CB runs, and run 3D firestrike for good measure. Your OpenGL results are concerning. I got 156.89FPS and 1200 CPU on 8600k/GTX1080.

I have afterburner. I will monitor the ram usage during the tests, is there a certain temp i should be hoping for?
Wow.. looks like i do have a problem! Upgraded my gpu thinking that my other one was no good.. The fps I've been getting has been abysmal. Praying we can figure out the issue haha
Sorry for all the questions!

Keep an eye on CPU and GPU temperatures. If anything reaches 90 and above during testing or gaming then we have thermal issues.

 

Also keep an eye on GPU and CPU usage. If CPU is going over 90% load while GPU is staying below 70%- then it's a bottleneck.

 

Also, can you confirm that your RAM is running at advertised speed?

Okay, when i get home from work I will run a few tests and keep an eye on the temperatures and get back to you  
 

If I get results that would turnout to be a bottleneck, does that mean maybe my motherboard or cpu aren't good enough? I thought they would still be good enough to run things well. I had a GTX 970 , 1070ti prior to upgrading last week to the 2070 and was having the same issues then as well.

 

The ram I just realised is running at 2133 when it should be 2400 so I will fix that when i get home in the BIOS settings

Ok so here are my results from the tests i've run 

 

1. Motherboard only supports up to 2133mhz (so have 2400mhz ram working at 2133)
2. Ran Firestrike (attached results snip) - It seems that in the combined test the Cpu load was a lot higher than the GPU, sometimes about 80-60, and when that was happening was when i started seeing a massive frame drop to as low as 25fps...

3. Temps got to about 60ish which i think is fine, plus is hot af summer day in my house today 

 

So from what i can see so far is that it could be bottlenecking from what you said earlier? What do you guys think

 

Cheers

New Cinebench score

If hyperthreading enabled? It could be that your CPU is only running 4c/4t instead of 4c/8t. Check task manager CTRL+LSHIFT+ESC - Performance - CPU, make sure it says "Cores 4, Logical Cores 8" on the bottom right

I see Cores 4, logical processors 8 .
