FPS issues

Skillinky · May 13, 2023

Hey, so it has almost been 2 years of me incrementally upgrading my iBUYPOWER pc (I will leave the think below). In order this is what I have upgraded. GTX 1050 Ti

- RTX 3060 Ti, 8gb ram - 16 gb Corsair vengeance, 500 watt psu - Corsair RM750 750 watt psu. Then I recently upgraded my case (iBUYPOWER - NZXT 5 air flow) my cpu fan Stock cpu fan - Pure Rock 2 be quiet) and my motherboard (GIGABYTE B560 DS3H AC-Y1 - MSI MPG Z490).

Every time I have upgraded it made a little bit of a difference but not too great. (I have also added a 500gb ssd) The only thing left is my CPU, which is an

15-11400F 11th generation, I have updated all drivers but not the mobo BIOS because people say its a risky job and doesn't really increase the fps directly. When i first turned on my pc with the new mobo it looked like it was already installing some chipset drivers

(I have added a 500gb SSD. I have also taken it to best by twice and they weren't able to identify the problem. This was before I upgraded my mobo.)

If anyone could help me out it would mean so much, Thank you.

First - don't worry. Chipset drivers are including in the Windows installation. You should always upgrade to the latest stable version though. But they are not BIOS. And the BIOS issues anyway are on Asus motherboards and only on AM5 platform currently.

As for your FPS - idk what you expect, but the 3060 is basically the very bottom end of the chain and it's exactly that which is your limiting factor. The 8GBs of VRAM are already getting insufficient for 1080p in some modern titles. If you want proper FPS improvement or to move to 1440p, get an AMD RX 6700XT/6750XT. That 11400F won't be a bottleneck until you get to 6900XT/RTX 3090 territory.

Okay, just to clarify I don't need to update my BIOS or I do?

And with the fps, this is just an example, on Fortnite on recommended settings my fps bounces from 100 to 40sh.

Thank you though

At this point everyone and their grandma playing Fortnite on PC has "recommended" setting. Specify.

Although it's good to be on the latest stable version of the BIOS, you don't need to update it if everything is running stable. As for the FPS, it's normal. Just look any video on YT and every time High settings is used in Fortnite with the 3060, the FPS is from 40 to 110. Either reduce the setting to medium/low or get a better GPU.
