pc over kill?

[Vance44]

does anyone have a pc that games better if you max out your settings in a game?  

if so what do you have for hardware and what do you play just wondering?

Define "better"

this seems like an odd question. I mean I've had some game engines get weird if the framerate gets too high and start dropping frames in weird places due to bouncing off the engine frame limit so in that instance either locking the frame rate or increasing the settings helped

its using more cpu gpu and better frame rates 

before maxing out settings and turning everything up it was barely using gpu and cpu and frame rates were much lower 

i just think its funny it dont work well till i turn everything up ... its like the cpu and gpu are saying we aren't wasting our time till you give us some real work lol

your gpu could have been failing to clock up due to the load being light

oh.. well that's not good?!

huh, aren't games supposed to have highest fps possible unless you turn on v-sync? isn't that the purpose of high refresh rate monitors? So many people play esports titles such as CS GO, Rocket League etc. in low settings to get the best fps possible for minimal latency and being much more competitive

Pretty sure failing to increase clocks with certain titles was a known driver bug a while ago, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up again

So it could be fixed with update?

considering this was originally more of an abstract conversation it would depend on what sort of hardware you're running and what games you're noticing this behaviour in. I know that some engines have render limits that they start behaving weird when they are approached/hit, I'll withhold any other comments until I can make them more informed

Mostly CS:go and day of defeat

And I have a 12 core 3900x paired with a RTX 2070 

I think on low settings it's just over powering? Lol
