Is my GPU working properly?

Stages · November 5, 2017

Hi guys, I have recently bought a custom built PC a few weeks ago with an MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X GPU, Ryzen 5 1600X CPU, Asus Strix B350-F MBO, Antec 620 Current Gamer PSU and an AIO cooling system with 5 fans including the radiator fans. My system isn't exactly a low end system especially since i'm also using one of Asus 3D 144hz monitor. My question is, even though i am NOT OCing in anyway, all i am using is MSI gaming App and selecting the already given option of Gaming Mode, when playing games such as Warframe and League of Legends, I am not getting as high of an FPS as i thought i might be getting. With Warframe, I have noticed my FPS have been dropping as low as 50 at maxed settings in somewhat busy maps with other players, but getting as low as 60 FPS with just myself playing and maybe 2 others seems a bit off, especially when i haven't been getting it this low before when i played with 2 other people on the maps. I am not sure if it is because of the game or what, but my FPS fluctuates from 144fps to 50-60fps in these situations. For league i am also only getting around 110-120fps which is really strange considering i set no fps limit and also i am getting fps lower than my friend who has a lower system GPU than i am. I know high fps in league is unnecessary but i thought i would be getting a lot higher even so. I am not too sure if this is normal or something is wrong, I have the latest drivers for my GPU and CPU and if this helps, in these situations with Warframe and League, my GPU usage is only around 35-60%. I see people getting a lot higher FPS with my GPU as well so please help. My GPU and CPU temps are pretty decent with CPU being around 35-48C and GPU being around 55-65C when i am playing games. These temps are also when my fans arent fully used, only being set up as quiet mode on corsair link. This, as well as living in Australia can be pretty hot so i believe my temps are pretty decent with no aircon etc. Is anything bottle necking anything or what is wrong? Please help.
