Bad performance for my specs

[OnionRings]

I'm at my wits end, I keep upgrading parts and getting no change in performance, what's left to change? It's gotta be my ram, I'm about to just drop fucking 100$ on a Z270 board and 120$ on a 16GB kit of DDR4 3000 and say fuck it, I dunno how much longer I can take this bad performance.

 

Ranting portion done, I just got this 6700 and 1080, but I'm getting 20 FPS while streaming 720p60 with x264 in PUBG, yes the game is poorly optimized but 20 fps with all settings very low except textures at high with a 6700 and 1080? That sounds ludicrous... it has to be my RAM right?

RAM wouldn't cause your fps to be so low.

 

All correct drivers installed?

Yes, I DDU'd my old 480 drivers and my nvidia ones, then did fresh nvidia ones. And it could be my ram, because it's at 85% or higher almost all the time, and I have only like 100 MB free. Plus my FPS is usually pretty steady at around 50 or 60, its like... dips.. or micro stutters, w/e you wanna call it when it drops below 60 for a second or so, it's super annoying and in a PVP game it gets me killed.

If you are using close to all 8GB's of RAM then just upgrade the RAM. Also when you built this system, did you do a fresh install or just transfer the OS from the old system to the new one? If you transferred, you could be running old drivers that is eating up your RAM space.

I had originally copied the OS from the HDD to SSD, or " cloned " it, but then I deleted the old OS off my HDD and installed a new one on my SSD, this was back in march when I had FPS issues before but the cause was F.LUX.

What is your fps without streaming? What is your CPU utilisation when streaming?

Not the CPU, it never goes to 100%, 80s usually

So you format the SSD and installed the OS?

How did you do your fresh install?

The way I do a fresh install is bare minimum parts to install the OS, 1 stick of RAM, use the iGPU, one monitor, one keyboard, one mouse.

I have better luck doing that than having all your stuffed pluged in.(anything that plugs into your PCIe ports, multiple RAM sticks, all of your USB peripherals, Ect.)

Yes fresh install, off my USB 3.0 flash stick.

Check with independent cores. It could be that 2 cores go to 100% while other 2 stay at idle.

I check this with task manager?

Processor is fine, 1st core was used more then the other 7, the other 7 were all about equal with each other. Doubting it's a CPU issue

open the hard diskpartition manager

does old hdd still have boot flag?

if yes remove flag as you need only 1 boot partition

now if you could tell windows boot data on spinning drive but windows OS on ssd but pagefile  is on spinning drive it would be fastbooting machine as boot drive seperate from read data for booting

2 guys doing job instead 1

1 gets read directions 

other does the directions

can you make d: a logical partition???

 

may have to do full partition delete and recreate

 

windows only allows 1 extended partition  but needs extended partition to create logical partitions so technicly your c: is an extended partition drive with having recovery

so  c: needs a logical flag

d: can only be 1 drive letter for whole drive unless tied under extended flag of c: drive as its logical d:

[bcguru9384]

also note if drive is gpt(uefi) or MBR(bios) 

note win10 leans heavily to uefi setups and is finicky on bios setup
