Ways to improve my gpu performance beyond overclocking?

[Rui Xavier]

I have a rtx 2060 and I've been noticing that my gpu can't achieve 60 fps constant on some on the most recent/heavy titles such as control, godfall and yakuza 7.
I play at 1440p, my cpu is a ryzen 7 3700x and I have 32gb of ram so I'm assuming there is no bottleneck. Are there any ways I can improve my performance by like changing some settings or something like that? (When I say change some settings I don't mean the graphical settings of the games because those are obviously the most important and I already have in mind the impact on the fps those have. I'm talking about like Nvidia settings or windows settings stuff like that. Also I have already overclocked my gpu and didn't help much.)

at what frequency and timings?

In Task Manager (after Windows 10 19xx) it will show what software is using the GPU. Close those other than the game.

Are you playing on Ultra settings in these games? The easiest way to improve performance is turn down settings to high/medium. If you chose the right settings you won’t really notice a difference.

Thx for the reply but I'm looking for ways to improve my fps and mantain the settings I currently play on.

You kind of shot yourself in the foot by pairing a 2060 with a 1440p display. IMO it pairs better with 1080p if you are strictly talking about modern titles.

 

Anyway, not sure if this is common knowledge but go into the Nvidia control panel and click the first tab (Adjust image settings with preview). Set it to "Use my preference emphasizing Performance". This causes everything to basically be set to off or auto, and if this was not already enabled can improve performance with virtually no cost in graphical fidelity.

 

After that you can go back into the "Manage 3D settings" tab and tweak things as you need to like background fps, DSR, power management, etc.

 

Other than that, there isn't anything you can do. There is no magic switch to flip that will just give you the performance you need. Play at 1080p, lower the settings, or accept that you will dip below 60fps.

Thank you man. I actually didn't know about those settings in the Nvidia control panel. I got like 10 more fps and now I'm on almost constant 60fps.

that's more than enough to go beyond 60fps, even 100 is fine

Yeah that comes at the cost of quality already (curves are made with less straight lines, basically). See what we mean by dropping settings doesn't hurt your experience?

Yhea, I get it now. It's just that I still wanted to mantain most quality and at least with this settings I can.
