New RTX 2070...LOW frame rates (23fps)

[Mattaton]

Just installed a shiny new EVGA RTX 2070 FTW3, fired up Assassin's Creed Odyssey, cranked all the way up, expecting some high, smooth frame rates. Nope. 23fps. What the heck?! My previous dual 970s ran the game with just a few frame hiccups here and there. Didn't have the frame rate display on when I had them installed, but it was easily playable at nearly wide open settings.

 

ASUS Sabertooh X99 with 5820K (at stock speed for the moment), 32GB of RAM, Corsair HX1000i PSU. Gaming on an ASUS GSYNC monitor @ 2560x1440. Have two other monitors attached: Wacom Cintiq @ 1600x1200 and another of the ASUS monitors, but connected via HDMI @ 2560x1440.

 

What are my first steps for troubleshooting this?

 

Thanks!

Matt

Well im guessing you ran DDU and installed the drivers. Are you plugged into a reliable power source

[Velcade]

Do a fresh driver install. Also GSync over HDMI  

[Mattaton]

Nope. Just read about using DDU. About to go do that now. I just installed the card with the current drivers and it seemed to work fine, but maybe there's something not quite right.

Plugged into battery backup with AC power. Should be solid.

No...the GSYNC monitor is over Dport. I have a second of the same monitor on HDMI.

Drivers should fix your issue 1000%

I'm wondering if GTX -> RTX needs a fresh driver change? As the chip + implementation is slightly different than just say a 980 -> 1070 for example.

[Mattaton]

Okay...going to remove drivers and reinstall. I'll report back later.

There's an option for a clean install.  You can try that first, then move to a DDU if the clean doesn't work.  Good luck!

Clean install. From within the Nvidia installer? I'll give that a shot.

Thanks!

Yes. within the installer.

The rtx has a dedicated chip(s) for raytracing. But im not entirely sure what theyre called lmao. But id assume the answer is yes.

Did the clean install. Haven't done DDU yet.
I ran Heaven and a benchmark within AC Odyssey. See the scores attached. Should I expect more??? I feel like 30-60fps in AC with a 2070 is still very low.
One setting I change in AC was it was running the resolution at 200%. I made that 100% and the fps went from the 20s to the 50s.

50-60fps average seems what the Youtubers get:

 

 

This is not audio fans magic. Don't go with your feeling or gut. Go with the hard facts and figures.

Have no idea what "audio fans magic" is, but point taken.

Guess I just expected a bigger distinction in performance going from 970 to 2070.

Looks like the vid spends most of the time in the 50s. I was dipping down into the 30s a lot.

Oh well, it's all temporary anyway. New PC build parts coming next week!

Do the DDU as well, the clean install option in the nvidia installer doesn't get everything which is why DDU exists. After you do that go into bios and nvidia control panel and make sure the settings are back to default for all of the multi gpu related options if you haven't already and set everything to high performance.

I just tested Far Cry 5 and I was getting 90-120fps on Ultra everything. Reading a little about AC Odyssey, it wasn't very well optimized.

At this point, I'll be building a new PC next week and moving this card to that machine. That'll for sure be a fresh driver install and hopefully it runs like a champ, then.

 

Thanks, guys!

Try to overclock your CPU. 

Ass Odyssey is a CPU hog.

Audio equipment fans will say plugging the network cable in the opposite way on a NAS drive makes the sound better.

No idea if the vid is legit though. But yeah, to me seems about right on high at 1440p. It's kind what AAA games aim for, as suppose to what the rig can do. Developers seem to set a FPS budget, and artwork/code to fit/fill it. So unless it's a really well optimised game (DOOM IIRC is one of them), you don't always get good scaling from upgrading. It can work, but it gets more complicated.

Run Heaven in a window and have Precision X1 running as well.

Turn the power limit on the card all the way up and see if you can run at the cards power limit.

 

ACO is very hard to run. It is what I use to test gains in CPU and GPU overclocks.

 

I run ACO at 130% power limit power limit on my 2080 ti Xc and it is screaming with temps maxing out at 85c. I only really play the game with the FTW3 Ultra 2080 ti and temps top out at 69c.

 

At 4k with most things turned all the way up I average 61fps.

 

I set up ACO for 1440p with settings all the way up and averaged 80fps with the low at 50fps.

 

With the results I got I think you did quite well.

 

I also think you could average 60 without much lose.

I upgraded from a GTX 1070 TI to an RTX 2080 w/out doin a DDU on the drivers and my computer kept crashin once I launched a game.  Once I did a DDU and fresh driver install, it went away.  I then had issues w/my hard drive throttlin to full usasage at idle, which's weird; so I went back to my GTX 1070 TI and re-installed Windows 10; all of the issues then went away, so I would recommend a DDU when goin from GTX --> RTX.
