Low FPS Problem

[amber topaz]

Hi guys, I have a serious problem with my fps in every game, I bouht this pc 2 years ago at 1600€ with an rtx 3060 and an i5 10400f for CPU. Is it possible that I do like 90fps or less in any game? I always had this problem and no support couldn't help me, I also tried everything for fix it in these 2 years, I watched so many videos but still nothing. I use Fortnite for example, but i have this problem on every game, I do 100-70fps in Public games with performace mode, when a my friend with the same pc but with a rtx 3050, does like 200fps stable. Please i really need help with that because I'm really going to became crazy.🙏🏻

Either tone down the graphical settings

Or play with dlss options

[amber topaz]

i did

Also be mindful that if you're playing natively on a 4K monitor and your friend is gaming on a 1080p monitor, then your fps will be lower than your friend's.

[amber topaz]

1080p same as my friends

[flint cedar]

We know your CPU and GPU, how about ram,or what kind of storage you're using.

Also high temps can throttle your performance

[magic drum]

Low FPS compared with your friend could also be due to software issues.

[amber topaz]

i have 16gb of ram

[amber topaz]

but i have that problem in every game

[amber topaz]

nono the temps are normal

[magic drum]

I'm sorry to hear that.

Make sure you have the latest updates

Check your motherboard's support page.

What have tried to fix this issue?

[amber topaz]

i have

[magic drum]

Have you tried a Windows reset or clean install?

A blank canvas

[amber topaz]

yes

[flint cedar]

1080p relies on cpu

maybe its just your cpu showing its age

it is almost a 4 year old cpu

and i know fortnite is surprisingly a demanding game

[amber topaz]

no it’s running perfectly

[amber topaz]

not only fortnite

[trim wolf]

Running at what speed? Compared to your friend.

Have you compared the exact settings you are running to your friend?

Do you know what programs are running in the background?

[amber topaz]

yup

nothing i always close all

exept sometimes discord for call

[trim wolf]

Was this a laptop or desktop?

[amber topaz]

desktop

[trim wolf]

I would be interested in seeing screenshots/pictures for the following:

1. Pictures of the desktop with the side panel off.

2. Picture of a full part list to know what all is part of the system.

3. Screenshot of the CPU & GPU temps & clock speeds with the game running.

4. Screenshot of what GPU driver is currently installed.

5. Screenshot of benchmarks for Cinebench and Heaven to see if the results you are getting are to be expected.

6. Screenshot of your NVIDIA Control Panel settings.

7. Screenshot of your in game settings.

[amber topaz]

in dm or here?

[trim wolf]

Here, so anyone else can see the same things.

[amber topaz]

wdym with the 1

@trim wolf for the 2 i have to open the system info right?

[trim wolf]

Or you can recreate the build in PC Part Picker and paste the link to the build.

[amber topaz]

10 min and illl start to send the images

[amber topaz]

im sending some of what u asked

these are the fps 💀

with a 3060💀

[amber topaz]

can un tell me how can i do the 1, , 3 and 5_

[trim wolf]

1 is just literally taking the side panel off the PC and taking pictures of the inside.

3 would just be taking screenshots of whatever software you were using to say your temps were normal. A good one would be CPUID HWMonitor. Just make sure you download it from a legit site.

5 is just downloading benchmarks that stress test your parts and give a score at the end that you can compare to other parts to see if they are running within spec.

[trim wolf]

Unfortunately I cannot read the NVIDIA settings since they are not in English.

[trim wolf]

The lower the resolution the more work your CPU has to do vs the GPU. I would put your game settings to Full Screen and bump that resolution to full 1080p to see if you notice any difference.

[amber topaz]

they are, i just used the window mode for take the screen

but 80fps in public

[trim wolf]

You can snap a photo of your entire screen with Windows+Print Screen.

[amber topaz]

i have a 60% keyboard

[trim wolf]

Understood. Would you be willing to do those other three things to help people know if your system is running as expected in things other than those games?

[amber topaz]

i used geforce isn't it good?

for the 3

[trim wolf]

GeForce gave you live temp readings of the temperatures for your CPU and GPU?

[amber topaz]

yes

this benchmark?

[trim wolf]

I would post that image that you sent me in this forum, but that only gave you GPU temp. There was no CPU temps. CPUID HWMonitor also records what the max temp for nearly everything in your system, so you would be able to tell if there are spikes.

[trim wolf]

I recommended Cinebench and Heaven because there are a lot of results from other people to see if your system compares.

I don’t know anything about that benchmark.

[amber topaz]

i'll try with chinebench

cine* ahahah

[trim wolf]

It would help if you had a way to monitor CPU temps because if you get a low score and it turns out you are thermo-throttling then it could be a clue that you need a different cooler or to reseat your cooler.

[trim wolf]

Specifically look for Cinebench R23.

[amber topaz]

this is the inside

[trim wolf]

That could be something. You are running in single channel memory.

[amber topaz]

wdym?

[amber topaz]

what is channel memory

the ram?

[trim wolf]

Typical consumer motherboards have two channels that they can run with their memory. In order to run in both channels they would need a stick of ram in both channel slots. Your system only has a single stick of ram, so it can only run in 1 channel.

[amber topaz]

do yo think thast is the problem?

[trim wolf]

Could be a factor, but I haven’t seen any videos that say it would cut your performance in half.

How large a capacity is that single stick of ram?

You can check by going to Task Manager, pull up performance and look under memory.

[amber topaz]

16gb

[trim wolf]

Alright, that will be something to take note of, but shouldn’t be why you are seeing such large issues.

[amber topaz]

have i to start?

[trim wolf]

I really want to see what the temps are on that CPU. Maybe one of the screws on the cooler is loose, the cooler is slightly raised on one side not making proper contact, or someone left the plastic on under the cooler so it isn’t able to transfer heat.

Start a multicore run.

[amber topaz]

i start

isnt 10 minutes enough?

[trim wolf]

You don’t need multiple runs to stress test it, a single run is fine for now.

[amber topaz]

it takes 10 min but its fine

anywway when can i see the temps?

i have w11, is it the same?

[trim wolf]

You should be able to adjust the duration of the test by changing minimum test duration from off, 10 min, or 30 min.

Go to file and check advanced benchmark.

[amber topaz]

where is advanced benchmark

[trim wolf]

Go to file and check advanced benchmark.

It is at the top.

[amber topaz]

ok okay

the 10m one is end but i havent seen any temp

so i have to try with 30m one right?

i got 6980pts

[trim wolf]

Nope, this will not show temps, just a score to see how it is performing. You would need other software to see temps.

[amber topaz]

oh oke

so should i run the 30m now?

@trim wolf

[trim wolf]

The duration of the test would just show stability of the system and to see if it would crash. You do not have a crashing problem. You have a performance problem.

[amber topaz]

oh oke

so what can i do now

[trim wolf]

I have seen other videos of people running this same test with the same CPU, and their scores are higher. Can you find CPUID HWMonitor so we can check what the CPU is doing, and what kinds of speeds it is running at?

[amber topaz]

yea I’ll finish to eat the dinner and i’ll be right back

[amber topaz]

i’m here
