At a loss over FPS

[oconoc]

Build:

Alienware R12

Intel i9 11900kf OC 5ghz

3080ti stock

32GB HyperX 3466

1TB M.2

1.6tb intel SSD

Dell S2722DGM 165hz monitor

 

I can't figure out for the life of me why my FPS are so low compared to others. I run Shadow of the tomb raider benchmark and get average 77 FPS at 1440p resolution. I don't know what I have setup wrong but I know I should be getting more FPS than that, I have yet to see over 100fps in any game I have played.

 

Advice so I can stop pulling my hair out trying to figure this out...LOL

What temperatures do you reach while you run benchmark? 

 

If your components are frying themselves alive they will downclock to survive in turn reducing their performance and your FPS.

 

Also what kind of PSU does your PC have?

The Aurora line is a flaming dumpster fire. In your case, it's probably the thermals. The case doesn't have much airflow to begin with, and then they've plastered about 10 lbs of plastic ridiculousness around it. Stick a 11900KF and 3080 Ti in it and it probably thermal throttles at idle.

I have a 1000w PSU but not sure the brand name (came from alienware) and i'm not to sure it's going to be the thermals (see attached pic)

Yeah, I have seen a bunch of reviews about the alienware R12 and thermal issues (changed intake fan already) I don't watch that guy though, he seems to hate everything that's not AMD...lol

Gamers Nexus? Steve is about as fair and balanced as you can get. He calls things as he sees them though, and doesn't hold back. I'm honestly not sure there's a tech YouTuber I trust more, though.

Between working with Nvidia and Alienware the issue has been resolved. AWCCservice was causing the FPS issue, they have uninstalled and reinstalled and everything is fine now.

Ah, bloatware strikes again. This is why anytime a get a laptop (I don't buy prebuilt) I do a clean install of Windows and nuke what came with it.

Oh I agree. Not a bad way to do it. I was just trying to say that a clean install is the way to go and get rid of that bloat. 

Think Linus even ran into those sorts of issues when they did the series on buying machines.
