Fixed: Severely reduced frame rate on GTX 1070Ti
Fixed: Severely reduced frame rate on GTX 1070Ti
For the last three months, I've experienced drastically reduced frame rates with my 1070ti graphics card, and I’m frustrated by this issue. Could someone offer assistance? My system configuration includes a Zotac GTX 1070ti, 16GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM running at 2400MHz, a Ryzen 1400 processor overclocked to 3.7 GHz, an ASRock B350M motherboard, a 500W Aero Cool PSU. I consistently average approximately 30 frames per second in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey across all settings, and even at 1440p resolution, the FPS remains below 60, despite attempts to lower it. I've attempted all troubleshooting steps within GeForce Experience and disabled VSync. However, games like Rainbow Six Siege consistently deliver 60-80 frames per second regardless of settings.
There are several potential factors contributing to this problem, but let’s start by checking if you’ve adjusted the frame rate within the game's (ACO) configuration.

Regarding my preliminary thoughts:
It appears that your processor and graphics card aren't a suitable match. Pairing a powerful graphics card with a less capable central processing unit often results in the CPU consistently reaching 100% utilization, struggling to keep pace with the graphics card.
Furthermore, your memory speed is a concern; Ryzen processors perform optimally when utilizing RAM at speeds of 3000MHz or higher.
Finally, we should investigate your power supply unit – it may not be providing sufficient electricity. Open your computer case and locate the manufacturer's details label; you might need to remove the unit entirely if it’s obscured. After identifying it, examine the 12-volt output reading listed beneath the wattage figure.
Performance metrics show a strong gaming score of 92%, while desk usage registers at 53% and work productivity is assessed at 48%. The AMD Ryzen 5 1400 processor achieves a score of 60.5%. The Nvidia GTX 1070-Ti graphics card outperforms expectations at 118.8%. A Seagate Barracuda 1TB hard drive (manufactured in 2016) demonstrates a performance level of 74.4%. Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 C16 2x8GB RAM registers at 85.1%. The motherboard used is an ASRock AB350M.

Could you share a link to these performance metrics?
What is the precise brand and model of your power supply unit? You can locate it by checking the label located within the case.
I recently resolved most of my frame rate problems by experimenting with various clock speeds. I settled on 3.65 GHz and minimized CPU-intensive programs. It seems like the issue wasn’t critical! However, I’m wondering if your power supply is adequate given you're running a 1070Ti. Could you please open your computer case and provide the model number (like VS500, GZ500, etc.)? Ideally, also include the wattage rating of the 12-volt rail directly below it.
