Common FPS problems in certain games on new PCs
Common FPS problems in certain games on new PCs
Hello, I just assembled my initial gaming PC with these details: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Graphics: nVIDIA GTX 1660 Super GDDR6 6GB (PALiT) RAM: HyperX Furry Black DDR4 4GB 3000Mhz (2x) Motherboard: GIGABYTE B450M S2H - AMD B450 Power supply: Corsair CV Series CV550 - 550W HDD: WD Blue (EZEX), 3,5" - 1TB 7200RPM In certain titles, such as GTA V, Star Wars Battlefront II and AC: Odyssey I, performance drops significantly. However, the impact varies slightly across games. GTA V: Operates smoothly at 60 FPS in story mode. Online play maintains around 60 FPS for about ten minutes before noticeable frame rate drops and audio stutter appears (CPU usage: 19-21%, GPU usage: 10%, RAM usage: 90%, HDD usage: 100%). Star Wars Battlefront II: Begins with lag of 10-25 FPS at start or on new maps, then stabilizes for the remainder (CPU: 46-50%, GPU: 98-100%, RAM: 95%, HDD: 100%). AC: Odyssey: Occasional FPS fluctuations and frequent slowdowns occur during fast travel until a restart. It’s unclear what’s causing these issues. I suspect the HDD might be too slow for large games. That’s why I’m reaching out for advice from more experienced users. Also, one minor detail I overlooked – my brother has an identical build except for a slightly different motherboard and HDD. He doesn’t face any of these problems. Thank you in advance for your assistance! P.S. My English isn’t perfect; I’m from the Czech Republic!
The 1060 is not as good as the 1660 super. Just run the games using Task Manager and check for GPU issues.
No, I haven't checked for updates yet. Would you like me to do that?
I attempted that; usually the GPU isn't fully utilized. It caps around 70-80%.
I played a complete Star Wars Battlefront II session using Task Manager. Here’s what the stats showed: CPU usage was between 40-55%, GPU usage ranged from 80-98%, and RAM was at 88%. After another test, I got CPU around 46-50% and GPU near 98-100%.
I've included additional hardware statistics on the main post!
