Low FPS with low GPU Usage

[SoggyHippo]

So I have a GTX 1070 TI, I5 9600k, and a Dell U2412M. In Fortnite, I get frames maxing at about 140 fps but it always drops and I don't why. The GPU usage is at about 40%-65%. I think it may be because of the monitor because it is at 1200x1920 at 60Hz. Also the game is at max settings. And the cpu usage is 70%-100%.  Please help.

By default vsync is off so it doesn't matter you have a 60hz monitor.  Your CPU usage should not hit 100 percent, perhaps 60 percent but not 100 percent.  Something is fishy.  I recommend running DDU "Display Driver Uninstaller" in safe mode, clean and restart and back into normal mode install the latest WHQL drivers and let us know how Fortnite runs.  By default the drivers are set to application controlled for vsync.  Make sure you don't have vsync on in Fortnite.  Let us know what happens.  Good luck!

Upgrade CPU. 

This is wildly incorrect, the 9600K is actually a really decent CPU and will by no means bottleneck a 1070Ti. Heck, even an 8600K won't hold a 1070Ti back(ask @LukeSavenije for further information).

OP what game are you playing where you're seeing this?  Sike in fornite

 

Okay, how does it perform in other games

Just because I lied about it bottle necking the 1070 TI Doesn't make it not garbage. Intel has released CPU's since then so it is garbage.

What is the gpu temp?

Why are you lying in the first place?

 

Also, just because there's something newer doesn't mean the old stuff is automatically trash. I daily run a GTX 780. My phone is a Galaxy S3. My CPU even is a Ryzen 5 1600. Look up some actual benchmarks before making statements like that.

 

Intel's lack of innovation is so high that even a 2600K isn't that much worse than an 8700K, which just makes your point look a little silly, if I'm honest. The 2600K came out in 2011.

Tell us why specifically, get to the down and dirty of why the 9600k is bad

I lied to encourage an unnecessary upgrade.

It's not my fault you have a GTX 780 and a Galaxy S3.

Find one person with a 2600K on their spec list that's bragging about it. Bragging rights make new hardware worth it.

It's not the newest processor released by Intel.

OP, if you can run MSI Afterburner with the onscreen display while playing games with it set to show your CPU usage %, Temps, and clock speed. As well as GPU usage %, Temps, clock speed. Also RAM usage might help as well.

What graphical settings in game are you using?

Is it just a short, momentary drop in frames and then recovers back to 140FPS, or does the FPS gradually get lower and lower the longer you play?
When it does drop, what does it drop to?
Do the drops in FPS coincide with action happening on screen, like intense fights with other players, or entering a large city?

Is that 2x8GB sticks or a single 16GB stick?

Why? That's clearly not the issue here.

I'm not saying it is, just that I still use it and it's not "garbage" just because there are newer products.

Hardware is really only worth it when you pay a price worth the performance you get from it.

The frames drop a lot, what I was saying was the maximum frames I get is 140 fps. but it never stays there for long. It is 2 8 gig sticks.

It's in his best interest to upgrade and without deception he wouldn't do what's best for him.

Actually, it is garbage. The point stands more on the S3 than the GTX 780 because it's still practical to be running a 780 in 2019 but all trolling aside, why on earth are you using the S3?

I was using all low settings except view distance. I just tested now with max settings and I am gettings 10-100 fps depending where i look and how i move. The gpu usage is 80-90%. Cpu is 100%. Ram is 46%.

CPU Temp is 120 degrees Fahrenheit. And what do you mean by power limits? It has one 8 pin connector from a corsair rm750x.

I just want to point out that neither your CPU nor your GPU will be reaching 100% in Fortnite.

 

What framerate are you targeting?

I ran DDU and restarted my pc. I attempted to install Nvidia Display Driver v419.67 and it failed the first time. The second time around it did work. Now in fortnite I am getting 60-160 fps with max settings. (I had vsync off the whole time)

Sorry for the late reply. I would have thought that one would reach 100%. So that means something else is bottlenecking both? Also I was aiming to pretty much have a solid 120 fps.
