Hello everyone! I hope someone can help me figure what is wrong. My previous GPU was GTX 1070Ti and I upgrade to a RTX 3070. I'm playing warzone mostly, after I changed the GPU I've noticed an improvement in the game fluency but the FPS seems to be lower than it should. From 70 to 90, of course it depends where you at in the map and what you looking at. Graphic settings are set on low. Fullscreen. 1080p. Yesterday I was playing with someone who has a 1080Ti and standing in the same place that person had 145 FPS and I had 75! (Both Nvidia FPS counter) PC SPECS: GIGABYTE Z490M i7 8700k @3.2 GHz RAM 32GB 8x4 Kingston Predator DDR4 2933 GIGABYTE RTX 3070 Monitor AOC C24C2 144hz

IF you're comparing performance like that you *need* to know the others Computer's Full Specs, otherwise it is completely meaningless.

Default cooler

I'm sorry but are you sure that's your CPU?

Because it doesn't look like the K version comes with a cooler at all...

The i7 8700 seems to come with a cooler however, but as always with Intel :

OUR VERDICT

Intel's Core i7-8700 is surprisingly similar to the company's more expensive -8700K in our benchmarks. You do lose the ability to overclock, but save $50 dollars in the exchange. Unfortunately, Intel's bundled cooler isn't able to cope with the -8700's thermal output, which means you need an aftermarket solution to realize the CPU's peak performance.

FOR

Small real-world performance difference compared to Core i7-8700K

Lower price than the -8700K

AGAINST

Bundled cooler is not sufficient

Locked ratio multiplier

I just finished checking temperatures with the new cooling system.

I must say, I didn't change the thermal paste in 2 years, anyway I check temperatures before installing the new cooler, the CPU was at 100 C playing warzone for a few minutes.

”Cooler Master B120i” temperature on the CPU is at 64 C a big difference.

I will compare FPS with my friend again to see if I get closer to hers after reducing CPU temperature.
