Is it my GPU or what

[Snowwolfboi]

Hi forum, I have a question. Is it my GPU or something else that causes the textures in all fps games to load fully after like 1-2 minutes after I am loaded into the game. My specs is: CPU: i7-6700k mobo: Asus ROG strix z270h ram: 2x4gb 2133mhz GPU: Asus dual 6600 xt oc SSD: adata 8200 xpg pro HDD: sata3 5400rpm 2.5 750gb PSU: Corsair tx850m CPU cooler: Corsair h100x elite rgb

That sounds like an CPU related issue. But I would strongly recommend you to sell the two 6600xt's and buy a stronger GPU, cross fire is basically dead by now

Oh yeah, mb. I thought you had 2 because of the "dual".

Anyways, did the issues appear recently or where always there?

It have been there for 3-5 months now

Maybe check your system temps?

Just to be sure, what are the specific games we are talking about here and on what resolution are you gaming at? Which storage are those games installed in? Lastly, on idle and while games are running, how much ram is being utilized?

Id wager this is probably a RAM issue as itll need to load the files in real time with nothing being buffered as it quite simply doesnt have the space, as others have said, what games are you playing and whats your RAM utilisation when this under load. Also what resolution are you playing at, im going to assume 1080p from the specs, but do you usually play on low, medium high, ultra etc?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. Win 10/11 that's has been used for a while already and has a lot of things installed would likely have 4-6gb of ram usage on idle. So at best the pc would only have 4gb of ram to work with. Then, it's also possible that he's playing a fairly modern fps games and are installed on his hdd. It would depend on his answers for the initial troubleshooting steps.

No, you probably have slow HDD (assuming that HDD is storing your games).

Happened to me for Skyrim, though after switching to SATA SSD, that problem goes away.

 

Other notes:

Dump that dual 6600 XT for a single 4060. Multi-GPU is pretty much dead for games (not sure about other stuff).

 

Pretty sure you can get 2x8GB DDR4, even the slowest one, used for cheap. I wouldn't recommend buying new DDR4, since most of them are catered for Coffee Lake and newer (their JEDEC based is 2.4 or 2.666 GHz). Skylake pretty much support 2.133 GHz. AFAIK, Corsair is the only one that their DDR4 JEDEC base is 2.133 GHz.
