9.9 GHz processor paired with 4GB RAM delivers the same frame rate as the 3070 model.
9.9 GHz processor paired with 4GB RAM delivers the same frame rate as the 3070 model.
This indicates two key points. First, your frame rate increased noticeably from 3070 to 4070 fps. Second, your CPU is clearly struggling significantly. In the worst scenarios, the 9900K shouldn’t drop below 120 at any low performance levels—though in reality it might fall below 140, except for background processes. Inside the performance details, not the overall picture. We need to determine why the CPU isn’t functioning properly. I noticed it was advertised as running at 4.7 GHz previously, which is the standard boost for all core tasks. Right now, I’m assuming that’s accurate and you haven’t attempted to overclock. (Ugh, a tough day—maybe upgrade to a K processor instead of overclocking?) One possible reason is that background tasks are consuming all your clock cycles, or their RAM speeds and timing are mismatched. The two most likely causes are: first, the CPU is underperforming, and second, your Windows version is outdated. 20H2 removed support around mid-2022, or if you used the enterprise edition recently.
I'm checking the OCd settings now. I'll let you know once I have the information.
High-performance processor with five GHz and overclocking support
Check the download page for Cinebench-15 details. Expect a score above 2k at stock, over 2.2k at 5GHz all-core CPU still lagging for some reason. Performance has improved noticeably. Updating Windows to a supported version (22H2) might help, though it likely won’t change the results. Verify your RAM timings are correct and ensure no background processes are interfering with CPU performance.
You executed it at 1488x832, which caused the CPU to struggle. I think background processes behave differently on another OS, so the CPU still seems slow. I’d lean toward checking RAM next. If timing issues are the problem, I’m not sure how to proceed.
