2070 Super Help...

[SupamanLawson]

Hello,

 

 I recently installed an Asus Strix 2070 Super A8G. I upgraded from an Asus Strix RX 570 4BG OC Edition. I also added a brand new SSD to avoid any “old programs or software” from messing anything up. 

My PC specs are :

Ryzen 5 1600
Stock Cooler
Asus Strix B350-F Gaming Motherboard
32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 8x4
Intel 660p Series SSD 1TB
Asus Strix RTX 2070 Super A8G
Rosewill Capstone M 550W Power Supply

 

Using Minecraft as a reference because that’s the game I mostly played with my old GPU. 

On my RX 570 I was about to run 50 FPS with Optifine installed. No mods. Soldiers Shaders v1.262 Medium. And that’s all. 

 

Installing my new GPU with ssd. Installation was normal. Windows installed great. Everything working. Then I install GeForce Experience and try to update the drivers. It worked the 1st time but installing the same setup I used on my old GPU. I was getting 20fps no matter what I did. So I went back to GeForce Experience and reinstalled the drivers. Bad idea. I was hit with an Automatic Repair poop that would not fix anything. It did this 4 more times when trying to do the same thing.  So I stopped downloading GeForce Experience and let windows update it. Everything works fine but for a $585 GPU. I’m still only running slightly better at 60 FPS with the same settings as before. 

 

Idk what the issue could be but ANY help would be great. I will try anything and everything to help make this purchase worth it. Because so far. I’ve been so far annoyed and disappointed in this. I’m weighing returning it to amazon. 

 

Please feel free to ask any questions for things I may have left out. 

 

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

Well if you bucked up the drivers on a clean windows install, why not just reinstall windows.

Also what are the settings you're running what game at, db fighterz runs at 60fps ultra 8k on my 2080, and also at 60fps at 1080 low on same card.

Does this mean you're running a new install of the operating system?

Always use DDU to remove the old video drivers and instead of using Geforce Experience, directly download the driver from Nvidia's site. It will ask if you just want the driver or with Geforce Experience if you want some feature that requres GFE

Thanks for replying!!

 

I reinstalled windows 3 times already. After each loop of auto repair. I reinstalled a fresh windows. 

 

Ive only played Minecraft. Which the settings were relatively low becuase I wanted to see how the sdame settings increased with the new card. Ive tested a few games at ultra quality and they run around 40FPS. Those include Assassins Creed Odyssey & Ghost Recon Wildlands. Also tried Jurassic World Evolution and was getting 50FPS. 

 

All games were run at 1920 x 1080. I also ran a test on Minecraft on a 4k monitor with Extreme Shaders and it did better than on 1080p

I did install a fresh windows install. And Im not sure what DDU is sadly. Im assuming its a better way to remove drivers. 

 

Thanks again for the reply.

I replied to the thread like a noob. But I replied to some of your questions.

DDU is the name of the software

depending on draw distance in the games your mentioned, you're about the avg for what you should be hitting in those games with your system at those graphical settings. also modded minecraft just eats your cpu and ryzen 1600 is not the best choice for that.

If that is AVG. Then I may as well have stuck to the RX 570. My AVG was around 25 FPS at Ultra in those games from what I remember. Definitely not worth $500+.

 

Any recommendation for CPU? I was looking at the Ryzen 3600 & 3700x

You're throwing the card under the bus way too fast here, the best part of pc gaming is adjusting the settings to get the maximum efficiency. Try lowering settings like long distance shadows or just draw distance entirely, many games will give you a much better performance for settings that have little to no visual difference. A great youtube channel to look into this is digital foundry. Normally on your 570 these benefits might look small, but a 2070 super can make mountains out of mole hills.

As for cpu upgrade, just look at the ryzen upgrade path, but honestly adjusting the settings should bridge the gap enough that the current cpu should last you for at least 1 more year.

Thanks for all the recommendations.  Even after building my PC 3 years ago. I’m still learning.  So I will definitely exhaust all options before blaming the card.  It’s a beauty and I’d hate to return it if it’s fixable.  I know I just want steady 60+ FPS is whatever I play.  I was hoping I could do that in ultra but maybe having all the setting turned up isn’t great. Especially if it offers no visual difference.
