Need a guide

[David Nowie]

Hello,

 

I'm not particularly computer litirate (Hell Im not even litirate at times), and I need some help understanding how to maintane my machine and keep it performing well. I see people with older machines being able to play games at higher graphics than me and even record their sessions. I feel that I must be doing something wrong in the game options and in the general computer stuff. If any body could give me some pointers on how to increase performance and proper maintenance I'll be eternally grateful.

 

My specs are Ryzen 7 2700x, 2080ti, 32gbs of DDR4 ram, MOBO is ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING.

 

Many thanks.

Be sure to keep your (GPU) drivers up to date.

But are you experiencing any specific issues ?

[Rancidpunk]

With that rig you should be hard pushed to find many people playing at higher settings than you!

 

Like minibois said make sure ALL your drivers are up to date, also keep the inside of your machine clean and dust free.

Its all pretty stable I never get any system crashes and very rarely do I get any trouble booting. Starts up nice and quick too but, the issues I'm mostly having is low frames on some games (most notably arma3, but I hear thats to be expected). I should probably clean my machine more often I'll do that. And I should check my drivers. Does the CPU get driver updates too?

if you are having trouble recording gameplay as of now, what software are you using?

The mobo gets updates that help the CPU, bios updates come from Asus website and the latest chipset drivers are best found on AMD's website.

 

Use CPU-Z to find out what bios and chipset drivers you are using now, it's free to download.

try using Geforce Experience, I use it to record with my Titan Xp and it works super well.

First you can try to find out the problem on the softwear part,I suggest you to reinstill the game you've want play, then you can try to reinstill your GPU driver, you can find each driver on the official website of AMD and NVIDIA, if this all ways failed,you can try to reset your OS(maybe win10) ,this is  the final way because this os is too big that if you want to find the main bad part you need to spend so much time,so I suggest you to do that ,all the  ideas I SAY is  for the softwear way so I suggest  you  Don't  open  the pc case at the firt time, because its much more hard to find the problem before Check out the soft wear part. 

I from  China and my English is so bad, hope this can help you,

hope my worlds can help you

Whats the actual issue you are having?

[Soag]

I'd guess that CPU is bottlenecking. Especially in CPU intensive games (ARMA3 seems to be the exact case).

But apart from that:

Do you use SSD or HDD only?

When was the last time you reinstalled the OS? Or rather how 'polluted' it is...

What are the CPU/GPU temps?
