Lower FPS than expected.

[blackviking03]

First of all, le SPECS:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (non-oc, stock cooler)

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 SUPER OC (GIGABYTE, 2 FAN VERSION)

RAM: 16GB DDR4 G.SKILL RIPJAWS V 3200MHz

PSU: Corsair CX550M

 

I recently replaced my old GTX 1050Ti with a GTX 1660 SUPER and i'm getting lower FPS than i expected, here is a picture of settings and a benchmark of SOTTR on HIGHEST settings.

 

I wouldn't mind if it was constant 60 FPS without random frame drops and microstutters, but they happen for some reason.

 

And here is a video from another guy who has the same specs but gets more fps than me:

Did you DDU when you installed the new card?

I DDU-ed it and the driver for the 1660S failed to install and then i reinstalled Windows and it worked.

Fair enough. DDU is my solution to most issues lol, but did you also DDU after reinstalling Windows?

 

Also double check the GPUs power settings in Nvidia Control Panel. Check that it is set to use all CUDA cores and that the performance mode is maximum (or something along those lines)

When Windows was reinstalled, Windows, obviously, automatically downloaded a GPU driver, but i also DDU-ed it and then installed the new one.

 

Gonna check settings right now.

These are my settings:

Fair enough. Fingers crossed the settings work

[AMD A10-9600P]

Ah right, let me send you a screenshot of mine, see if there's any differences

Looks like you might want to change the power management mode. Your CUDA settings are good already I think

Changed power management mode but it still falls under 50 in the first benchmark of SOTTR (first sequence during the night).

Have you tried running it with DX12 instead of 11 too?

Ah right. I just noticed, in your screenshot at the top you don't have DirectX 12 enabled. Give that a go maybe?

Will try now.

I'm trying it right now, looks promising (did not fall under 67 FPS during the first sequence) but i still get some microstutters.

 

P.S. i put maximum performance in windows control panel too.

[blackviking03]

This is the new picture after the benchmark using DX12

...something is wrong cause only 32% of the time in the benchmark were you GPU bound...

Can i fix that somehow?

Are you sure your AMD chipset drivers for your motherboard are installed propely?

I'm honestly not sure, Windows installed them i think.

What motherboard do you have?

Have you checked your temps make sure your CPU is not trottling?

Your motherboard has a cheap VRM?

ASUS PRIME B350M-K

Lemme check and take a picture of CPU temp in BIOS.

[blackviking03]

This is the CPU temp

have you updated your BIOS?
