Potential Bottleneck

[GamersQuarters1]

Hey everyone I am currently running a GTX 1070 founders edition, I7 7700k and 32gb DDR 4 ram and run games in 1080p. I am curious if I should be experiencing bottleneck issues? My performance in GTA V 30fps at some points  and other games is all over the place as well. Any help would be appreciated 

 

thanks.

Definitely shouldn't be the hardware. Do you know what the temps are for your CPU and GPU? If so, are they in line? Its possible something is thermal throttling, but without more info I don't think we will be able to help much.

 

Give us a rundown of your entire system specs, and what your issues are exactly. a 7700k is definitely an amazingly fast chip, and a 1070 is plenty for 1080p gaming.

There is a GPU bottleneck here, but GTA 5 should hit 60fps easily even with every graphical settings turned up as high as possible, at 1080p that is.

Temps are hitting 73 Celsius that’s while playing Kingdom Come. I have a Noctua heat sink and no overclock at the current moment. What else would you need to know? I don’t have anything monitoring my GPU TEMP.

What would be causing me to not hit that. I can hit that fps if I lower settings but I feel I should not have to.

73c seems warm if you have a good cooler. Any idea what version of Noctua it is? Not that 73 is an issue, its completely within spec and wouldn't suggest its thermal throttling at all. But...... 73 seems very high for game load.

 

You can download something like evga precision X to monitor GPU stats, see what temps its at and what speeds its running at. a GTX 1070 is an incredibly capable card. What other games have issues? Its hard to know if anything is wrong based on GTA V alone, I wouldn't call that the best way to tell lol.

drivers probably? Are they updated?

My cooler is a Noctua NH-U9S premium. I will download software to see what my GPU temps are. Kingdom come I go from 90 to 30 FPS pretty frequently. PUBG never stays above 60 unless all on low. Mafia 3 is also all over the place.

GPU temps are currently 68 Celsius

Not the beefiest heat sink ever, but certainly not bad. Those temps do seem wrong for that cooler... Once again tho, that isn't anywhere near close enough for thermal throttle, but its possible its spiking huge and hitting high enough temps for thermal throttle.

 

Try something like Aida64 stress test to see what a sustained load does.

Phantom miner?  Broken GPU Fan?  GPU should not be at ~70c idle.

O, well that too. I thought he meant in game... If that is at idle, yeaaaaaaaaaa, thats your issue. GPU should be at 0% utilization almost all the time unless your in a game, and temps shouldn't be near that high. I think my 1080 with stock cooler would be sub 40c at idle even with the fan off. Although, I think I ran it with the stock heatsink for about 5 days........ I may be miss-remembering. But 70c is WAY wrong, that is ~100% load temps.

Definitely sounds like some sort of virus, try using a different boot drive/hdd/ssd and check games again, if not fixed maybe a bent pin messing up your computer.
