bad FPs need help

[Mr.Fahrenheit]

So im getting bad fps on overwatch. I have been trying to fix it for awhile now and nothing has been working.

 

GPU-  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

CPU-  Intel Core i5-7600K LGA 1151 Desktop Processors

CPU Cooler- Cooler Master RR-212L-16PR-R1 Hyper 212 LED CPU Cooler with PWM Fan, Four Direct Contact Heat Pipes

RAM- Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single

Motherboard- MSI Enthuastic Gaming Intel Z170A LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard

Storage- Seagate 2TB BarraCuda SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive

Set render scale to 100%

 

[Mr.Fahrenheit]

I did not much changed

 

[KnoT]

Be sure that it not on AUTO just hard 100%

 

and ofc check if its running on your GTX not integrated

[Mr.Fahrenheit]

I had it set to 75%and it was still lagging. Sorry what does ofc mean

[KnoT]

ofc = of course

Did you try reinstalling drivers and did you check CPU/GPU temps while game is running ofc ?

[Mr.Fahrenheit]

So the usage on my cpu is at 100% and my gpu usage is at 35% the temp is at 35% for both

[KnoT]

Temp ? is 35% ?

 

Can you screenshot this for me after running the game ? https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

[Mr.Fahrenheit]

[KnoT]

I want screenshot of the HWmonitor app i linked for you especially CPU part cuz i am suspecting it might be overheating just run the app before you start the game.

Something like this:

And this is after running OW ? While having HWmon open ? If yes then CPU doesn't speed up for some reason... you could check power options in windows.

[Mr.Fahrenheit]

sorry i didnt have OW running. this is it while running it

[KnoT]

So yea the problem is CPU is not increasing it colocks it should be running at at least 3,8GHZ but it is running at 800MHZ, check WIndows Power Setting first.

[Mr.Fahrenheit]

sorry how do i do that

[KnoT]

Type in start: Power Options or

Control Panel >System and security > Power Options 

[KnoT]

Set it to balanced then click on  ( change plan setting blue text ) and then restore defaults ( blue text ).

[Mr.Fahrenheit]

ok it was already set to balanced

[KnoT]

reset that plan 2 defaults and try running the game if that doesn't help we go for a next step

[Mr.Fahrenheit]

it didnt help

[KnoT]

Then lets go for a BIOS update:

 

This is a BIOS for your mobo: https://msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-M5 

 

And this is how 2 install it: https://msi.com/files/pdf/How_to_flash_the_BIOS.pdf

[KnoT]

You can use this as well 

[Mr.Fahrenheit]

i think i did it but not really sure cause the format of the bios was different from mine so not sure but my fps was a little better but the mhz was still at 800

[KnoT]

You can check in CPU-Z if it updated ( https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html), and one more thing you can do now is restoring optimized defaults or just default settings in BIOS
