High end PC bad performance

[arexxx]

I’ve had problems with my recently new built computer. It’s not performing close to how it should. I’ve read as many posts as i could instead of making my own trying to not make it harder for you guys. But at this point i’m desperate and ready to try anything. All ideas and tips are appreciated!

When i play Overwatch, my fps is very unstable, It jumps between 200 -275 constantly when im out of combat, And then goes to 130 during combat. (This is on the low preset). In also struggling with fps in other titles like Fortnite or Witcher 3. 

Specs: 

MSI GTX 1070 ARMOR OC 8 GB

intel i7-8700k @ 4.3Ghz

Fractal Design Integra M 650 W 

1x16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000MHZ

Asus Prime z370-P

BenQ XL2411 144HZ 1080p

Things ive tried and done.

Reinstalling windows

reinstalling drivers

Checked task manager

 

Monitor connected to gpu

Checked power plan and nvidia control panel(turned on maximum performance, vsync off, etc)

Set bios to default. 

ran xmp profile 

Checked cpu multiplier, frequency

Display is connected to GPU. 

Xbox DVR is turned off

 

Made sure that windows is using all of the ”processors” in the cpu in msconfig.

Cpu is on 30c when idle and 45-55 while in games. 

Gpu 40c then 60-65 in games.


I was thinking if it’s the RAM running single channel, but could that make such a huge difference?

 

Also thinking if its some weird BIOS setting.

 

I ran Uniengine on ultra preset and got a score of 2200 while ive seen people reaching scores of 3100

Any replies are appreciated!

go for dual channel.

Will do, but could that be the only problem? from the benchmarks between dual and single i’ve seen they only get a small fps boost.

I would recommend getting another shtick of RAM. Most applications are optimized to spread out the load across multiple shticks. Think of it like eating alone versus with people: sure you could brute force your way through an extra large pizza with chicken, sausage, bacon and white cheese, but you're gonna struggle and possibly induce cardiac arrest. If you share the pizza, however, the task is no longer a struggle because its spread out amongst multiple pizza connoisseurs. Therefore, everyone is happy and no one keels over. Hope I helped.
