Problem with CPU or GPU? Low FPS

[Kingslayer Kyle]

Hey,

 

Wondering if somebody can help me, I'm not sure on why but for some reason I get quite low FPS compared to other people that have the same hardware as me.

 

I'm playing @ 1080p so surely I should be getting an average FPS of well over 100 on most games

 

Specs:

 

Intel Core i7-4790k

EVGA 1080Ti FTW3

16GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600MHz

CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i v2

 

Have already tried re-applying thermal paste on both cpu&gpu just as a first step to see if it was anything to do with temperature but didn't seem to help.

 

Below is a benchmark on rise of the tomb raider and HWmonitor&GPU-Z Screenshots.

Your motherboard is rather cheap, bad power delivery can of course result in bad frequencies, not to mention the vast majority of people who shelled out for the most expensive Haswell CPU overclock it, bug difference there. Really though that mobo is awful for that CPU.

EDIT: Updated it on here.

 

I was about to flame you for saying it's cheap until I realised that they're my old specs, I forgot to update them on the forums lol.. I've got a Maximus VI Formula, Hence the GTX 970 being on there aswell haha

Try reinstalling your graphics drivers.

I've already tried this unfortunately and no luck

 

Something's telling me that the problem lies with my CPU, it is kinda old but I thought it wouldn't have any problems seeing as it is still considered a "good" processor even in 2019

Eh... Your CPU isn't getting maxed out, and the 4790K is still a very capable processor. What cooler do you have on it? It seems to be getting pretty toasty.

 

Your 1080Ti on the other hand, that's being maxed out quite clearly. Try installing MSI Afterburner and increasing the power limit as high as it'll go. See if that makes any difference.

I've got a Corsair H80i V2 AIO

 

And what difference will that make? I do have everything set to stock at the moment power&clock speeds, Haven't even attempted to OC my gpu yet

HWMonitor shows the GPU as hitting the power limit. It might do nothing, or it might do something. Figured it might be worth trying.

your cpu hasnt hit 100% usage and looks to lower its clocks when not in usage (something i personally have turned off but under load shouldnt make loads of difference)

your gpu however looks like it has hit a power and voltage limit, hitting max utilisation, maybe try increasing the max power limit in some software?

Alright, I'll give it a go now.. I already have EVGA precision set up so I'll use that and post the results.

Here's the result.. strange, I actually got less FPS on the top one this time for some reason

try 1440p and see what fps you get the cpu might be bottlenecking the gpu

Have also already tried this, The FPS is just worse when I go 1440p

Anybody able to help? Still having this issue
