So I’m finished here. My new PC, which I got about a month ago, isn’t handling the games well anymore. Watch Dogs 2 runs at 80 to 120 frames per second on the lowest settings, but it still feels sluggish and laggy. CS:GO averages around 250 FPS in normal play, though it sometimes lags a bit. In the danger zone it drops to 120 FPS and it looks like only 40 FPS. Assassin’s Creed Unity is around 70 to 100 FPS on the lowest, but still feels like 40 to 60 FPS and is quite choppy. Arma 3 is terrible, dropping to 30 to 70 FPS depending on the settings. Modern Warfare runs at 100 to 150 FPS, but I notice input lag and it doesn’t feel like the full speed. Shadow of Tomb Raider is 60 to 100 FPS, but it feels like 45 to 60 FPS again, and even at 100 FPS it’s around 50 to 70 FPS. I’m really unsure what to do—I think this PC should be able to run these games smoothly at 120 FPS without any issues like lag or stuttering. I’ve tried using ASUS GPU Tweaker, but it doesn’t help much. I’ve also experimented with G-Sync, but it makes no difference. Please help.
The windows were reinstalled two weeks ago, so it's unclear if an update is necessary. Additionally, this could be a simple or straightforward inquiry—how can I update my motherboard's BIOS?
The manufacturer should provide a video or website instructions for the product, typically by uploading the BIOS file onto a FAT32 formatted flash drive. It might also be necessary to rename the file to a specific name.
It all depends on your motherboard. Some have their own sites where you can download the latest BIOS and install it using their tools. In certain situations, you might need a USB drive with the update and then modify your BIOS settings. I recommend searching for guides on YouTube or checking the website for detailed instructions on updating your motherboard BIOS. Some CDs may include the newest BIOS, and you could update it directly through the BIOS or have the software built-in.
I'm unsure if I did install my chipset drivers, but I have the latest graphics drivers and Windows went through a device setup on first boot from my new system.
Btw, I never re-installed Windows. I always had it on my HDD (1TB, entirely filled) didn't want to flash it and remove any of my data. But I have latest Windows, and all I did was hook up the new hardware. It came with a CD, which I don't have a CD drive on my new case. I never went through that.
I installed the RGBFusion 2.0 (motherboard software) and it seems to work fine, all the RGB lights are controllable through the software.
Usage for both my GPU and CPU stick around 40 and NEVER go past 48% I believe. I know for a fact it doesn't get past 50%, ever.
In some cases, CPU is about 2-10% less than GPU.
Temps are great, and in F, GPU around 125-140 and CPU is the same. CPU a bit more, floating around 130.
Yeah that sounds like an awful pc...tell you what: You ship me your pc and I'll ship you my pc...problem solved
Seriously I'd try this:
Step 1: Remove 2 sticks of ram
Step 2: Add an m.2 NVMe drive...small, but fast 970 EVO Plus 256gb is fine...$69.99 from the amazonian site.
Step 3: Install all games currently being played on the NVMe...do NOT exceed 75% of the drive's capacity. Keep the games you currently play on a separate drive from where you store your OS and applications so they aren't competing for IOPS on the drive.
Step 4: Run "windows debloater" script in powershell....you can download from sourceforge or where ever...just leans out your Windows 10 installation.
Step 5: Disable all non-essential startup applications in task manager before doing a reboot.
Step 6: If you have overclocked your CPU...don't
Instead just enable MCE in BIOS using stock clock speeds.
Step 7: Crank up FLCK to 102.9.
Step 8: Play your games and report back.
