Good gpu but low frames

[Ikethedog]

I upgraded to a 1070, but on most games I play I get 30-50 FPS on all low settings. I’m very confused and am seeking a but of help or advice on why this is happening.

 

 

pc specs

CPU: Ryzen 5 2400g

GPU: GTX 1070

8 gigs of ram

Did you do a clean driver install?

What are temps like, use MSI afterburner of an equivalent program to get more information for us.

Welcome to the forums.

 

1 stick of ram can bottleneck the cpu, 8gb can also hinder performance, a 4c/8t cpu can also bottleneck some games.

 

I don't expect 60fps in half the AAA games for a 2400g.

You will need a better CPU to FULLY Maximize that 1070 in Gaming.

It'll do alright in most circumstances.

 

(DDU- Display Driver Uninstall)

Removing junk leftovers and crossover files.

 

Unless you didn't DDU the driver and its causing performance drops.

I'd redo the drivers with DDU and then recheck performances..

4K low settings or 1080p low settings?

Did you plus your display to the GPU? 

 

Did you DDU? 

 

What game?

 

What res?

1. Make sure you have your display plugged into the GPU, not the motherboard.

2. Unless that's 2 sticks of 4GB RAM, that is most likely the biggest bottleneck in your system.

3. You really should get at least 16GB of 3200 16-16-16 RAM as soon as you can.

4. Run DDU, and install the latest Nvidia drivers afterwards. (download them before though)

I don’t know a ton about this kind of stuff, what is ddu?

I am using 1 stick of ram, do you think that might be a reason why?

It is 1 stick of 8GB ram, do you think that might be the problem?

ya that's the reason, u need a 2nd matching stick.

100% that is a huge problem for gaming performance. In some games it can drop framerate as much as 40% just because of that.

 

Make sure you get a matched pair to replace with, not just a random single 8GB stick, or you're going to have compatibility issues.

Ok, thank you so much man!

It’s probably the ram, but i’ve noticed  strange issue where I get bad frame rates if it is in a window instead of full screen. Even if it’s a 1080 window, and I can’t tell the difference, I go from 50-60 fps to 120+ just by going to full screen for the game. 

 

For your CPU and a GTX 1070 you should be killing it at 1080.
