my gpu hasn't been running well at all, i get an average 15fps compared to the 150+fps i got when i first built my pc. i have updated the drivers and nothing is working.

my gpu clock speed is 300 and my cpu clock speed is 4620.

my specs:

i7-9700k

2080 gaming x trio

16gb ram

970evo 500gb m.2 2280

asus rog maximus xi hero

how should i test it under load?

 

Get HW monitor or use MS AB and what not.

Geez, stop making lazy ass posts my dude, give people some actual information other than "and what not". People can't read your mind and finish the sentence for you. You're not helping anyone, just upping your post count with nothing to show for it.

OP, MSI Afterburner is the best software for that, it comes packaged with Riva Tuner Statistics Server. Lets you run an OSD on top of most games and you can pick the stats you want. Here's my setup while running Monster Hunter World: 

1957146298_bqCKCRS-Imgur.thumb.jpg.0284f1393558c74d8c080e2dd08c1e3c.jpg

I set mine to the top right corner with a bunch of stats. The most important ones for this case are in the top row: GPU temp, GPU load, GPU core clock, GPU power consumption estimate (don't really need that for your use case), GPU core voltage (can't push unsafe voltages on Nvidia GPUs so you don't need that set up either). Second line has: GPU memory usage, GPU memory clocks. Then I have some CPU/RAM stats and the fps counter along with a frametime (the timing in-between each frame your GPU spits out, if this isn't reasonable smooth then you get a bunch of lag and screen tearing) graph. 

If you can't bumble around the settings and get the OSD set up, I can grab some more screenshots when I get home tonight and put together a quick guide.

Nope, it doesn't fix anything. What it does do is let you know more information about your PC and how it runs in games, so you can make guesses at what's wrong and try fixing it. Like an x-ray, it doesn't fix you but it lets the doctor see what's wrong so they can figure out how to. 

As for that, something in your setup probably changed or something is messing up. Seeing the temps and speed under gaming load lets us figure out if the GPU is clocking up properly and whether it's overheating or not. Can't do much till we figure that part out.

should i try and overclock my gpu ?  it says my gpu has...

power limit 3

core clock 100

memory clock 25

 

does that help at all?

This seems to be a solid guide: 

 

I'll be home in about an hour and 45 minutes, maybe 2 hours. Can answer any other questions then.

Watch the GPU clockspeed, temps, and frametimes. If your GPU gets too hot it'll throttle down and you'll drop fps. If it never clocks above idle (usually 300-500Mhz) then you probably have an issue with drivers or the card itself.

it stays at 300 no matter what. i am trying to contact msi but they are not getting back to me and it is so hard to to contact them because they need 3 pages of info first
