PC Running At Half Speed

[Mohanad106]

Greetings everyone!

 

I have the a problem, a big one as a matter of fact.

my pc never uses it's full performance no matter how hard I try.

I've tried every solution from everywhere, I've contacted Nvidia Tech Support and i even overclocked my system with no luck as everything seems to have a hard cap on it.

 

specs:

CPU - i9-11900

GPU - RTX3070

RAM - 2x16-3200MHz DDr4

Motherboard - (I think) hp omen - Z590H uatx

Power Supply - 600w Cooler Master

What's the problem in the screenshots?

My pc is not running at its full performance, it has a hard cap which seems to be using only half the ram, around 40% of the gpu and around 47% of the cpu

it does 3d renders slightly faster than my gtx1650 laptop so yeah

Possibly power based? 600W seems little low for a 3070 and an 8 core i9

 

Do you have many fans or RGB and anything else running off the pcs power, headphones etc?

In the first screenshot, you said it is rendering in 3D. I don't know what the program is, but many 3D programs use the GPU heavily (especially with rendering) and your GPU is at 99% utilisation and nearly 70 degrees. I would assume that's probably correct, though a nearly idle CPU seems somewhat wasteful...

 

In the second screenshot, true, that's very low, but memory usage in many games is actually much more modest than you'd expect. There's one or two that are real hogs, but without knowing more about the game, I can't say definitely "wow, that's wrong". CPU usage is pretty high, but GPU usage is low. I would assume that's because the game is minimised, though the temperature suggests there could be more to it.

I see.

 

Could you please run Horizon Zero Dawn with hwmonitor or hwinfo64 running? They record the minimum, maximum and average (of clocks, temps 'n stuff), which makes it a lot easier to tell what's going on with your PC, than with task manager.

 

I'd also suggest running benchmarks with comparable scores, e.g. Cinebench (for CPU) and 3D Mark or Unigine (for graphics), so that you can check if there's a problem with only one, or both.

sorry for the late reply

as it sets my power supply seems powerful enough to handle everything i'm throwing at it.

the only RGP thing i have is the RAMs

it says it runs at 99% utilization. but, when you look at what being use, it barley uses half of the card's performance

 during benchmarking everything seems to run ok, but when i lunched the game nothing was running at full performance, but when i lunched horizon, it wasn't running at full performance and the game was running lower fps than it should

 

 

see all the screenshots attached:

1st is Horizon Zero Down

2nd is GPU benchmark

3rd is GPU monitoring 

4th is CPU benchmark

5th is CPU monitoring

In this review the 3070 scored 9228, but I'm not sure if that is comparable to your settings? I would say that the sensors look like everything was fine when running the benchmark.

 

Cinebench, I'm not sure where to find the score a 11900 is supposed to get because my understanding is that the new version has scores that are not comparable to the old version.

 

Horizon New Dawn: CPU utilisation looks fine, but graphics is low. The core clocks appear to be correct, so I'm not sure why it isn't using more power.

 

V-sync? Power saving modes? What resolution is this?

no v-sync, no power saving mode and it's on 4k

tested out a couple more games including gta v and Minecraft both with mods, and i'm having the same issue.

also tried to render some stuff in blender and render times were not up to par
