Bad GPU usage

[Austin culvera]

So I have a pretty decent system 

gtx 1070 

R5 2600

asrock b350 k4 atx 

8gb ram 2666

1tb hdd

700 psu

 

firstly my gpu usage is sitting around 50% when I play Fortnite on all low settings I’m hardly pushing 144 FPS witch is very underperforming from a 1070 on all low settings and would love any suggestions why this is occurring 

 

secondly I know I should have faster ram for Ryzen 3200 is the sweet spot I’m aware of that and I’m planning to upgrade soon but that shouldn’t decrease my you usage by 50% 

 

thirdly I have a faulty HDD I think because every time I go to open a windows app it just suddenly open after like 5 seconds and when it opens it statically appears on screen whereas the apps should smoothly open up and even with this it shouldn’t effect GPU usage this bad 

 

so yea those are my current inquiries and was hoping for some answers from anyone cause I wanna start streaming in these corona stages at home quarantined but my FPS just isn’t good enough 

 

PLEASE HELP

you only have 8gb ram and 1 stick?

 

fornite is ram hog and it benefits a lot when you are having atleast 2x ram sticks

But my friend has the same ram situation with a 1060 and he’s getting solid 144 FPS

Maybe he has a faster CPU?

Cause by running the game on low at only 1080p resolution you are limited by the speed of your cpu...not your gpu.

[Odyss]

You should get MSI Afterburner, put your CPU, GPU and RAM usage on the OSD (On Screen Display) and see what's bottlenecking your GPU.

[Austin culvera]

If I do what should I be looking at that would suggest that my gpu is being bottlenecked like what numbers am I looking for

Gpu usage is the one to. Look at..

If you're gpu is not maxed out it means something else is the bottleneck ..the cpu.

For example, if your GPU is at 50% while CPU is at 100% and RAM is at around 7500-7800 MB, then you know that the RAM and CPU are holding your GPU back, thus being unable to pump up more frames.

But when I upgraded to my Ryzen 2600 like a few weeks ago I was told they would be a good match and bottleneck calculator said the same

I would never use that, they are far from being accurate.

 

The actual problem may be your ram, first of all it’s only 8gb and also it’s quite slow, Ryzen prefers faster ram. Just do what you been suggested before with Msi Afterburner and check OSD

So I had never heard of this calculator, but I put my thing in it and it said I need 64 gigs of RAM and to upgrade an RTX 2080 Ti to 4 1080 Tis. What? Can someone explain how this thing even works?

That’s why I said before this type of calculators are far from being accurate, more to being bs you have perfect example, according to this 1080ti is more powerful than rtx2080ti hahaha that’s just some unfunny joke

And it is, it seems: you say you are getting 144FPS afer all.

 

if you are looking for 200+ FPS, you are not looking for "good", but "niche high refresh rate" which may require odd configurations.

Not the 1080ti, but four 1080ti in 4-way SLI (which I don't even think is possible with 10xx series cards).

pretty sure your issue is because you use a single slow stick of ram.

See, if you had 2 sticks you would run in dual channel mode which would double your bandwidth...

[Ukyo82]

Is because playing low settings and cpu not capable pushing higher fps you need more Ghz for that and better IPC, nothing to complain about I personal advice increase graphics settings and enjoy game.....

i would agree with that...but his CPU would very likely perform better if it wasn't from the piss poor memory config he's using:

8gb ram 2666

Why? In the description of the video guy says he have 16gb of 3200mhz ram (most likely dual channel) 

[Ukyo82]

3200mhz and performance around 144 fps low settings even do nothing, no action and on low settings he get same bad dips on fps and this is normal is 2020, Ryzen 2600 and GTX 1070 is nothing more then mid range. If not agree show me who get better performance with this configuration.

First 2 gens Ryzen is showed capable of no more then 144 fps even ryzen 2700X or whatever(unless some way too older game like CS GO or something this range), I dont think this is bad thing anyway......, like I said nothing to complain about and GTX 1070 not so powerful for sure

First video I typed in yt , even medium settings doing half decent 

 

[Ukyo82]

Very depend on what happen on screen

This is much childish argument anyway, "my graphics 1060 perform better then your 1070..... Am I not great?!"

Lets put everything on max setting see who perform better..........

144 fps nothing complain about...... I doubt any of those are so pro 144 fps not enough or having 240hz monitors in first place

Otherwise I agree with else who said need dual channel, no just because dual channel(improve no more then 10fps) just need 16Gb ram this days specially if want play something else then Fortnite on low settings, Ryzen 2600 and GTX 1070 is great configuration and still can play every demanding game on that at least 60 fps
