FPS ISSUES
FPS ISSUES
Why? His processor temperatures are excellent. The log indicates his CPU stays below 65°C during use. Keeping it at 50°C instead of 65°C won’t improve performance. Without clear data on the issue, it’s hard to determine upgrade options. The positive side is that since the crypto crash began, GPU prices have dropped noticeably. Begin saving for a stronger GPU. Your 6-core CPU should work well with all six cores and 12 threads at a consistent 4.9 GHz. So far, your CPU isn’t causing any issues. The voltage regulators on your motherboard could be overheating, leading to a significant drop in FPS. What model do you have? Some aftermarket heatsinks and fans may block airflow from reaching the regulators, which can cause them to overheat.
Operating an MSI Z490 A Pro with Wi-Fi. Conducting another test right now.
You adjusted all six cores to 49 and noticed better performance. I didn’t see anything below 55 FPS under load. Tasks included streaming a music video on YouTube and a Twitch live stream of a game. Here are the logs—what would you like to do next? 2022-06-17.txt
I never claimed that lowering his CPU temps would speed up the game. He wanted feedback on possible future improvements for better FPS. My advice focused on temperature rather than FPS, as mentioned in my previous message. 65°C might be fine now with an air cooler, but it will rise more over time. I’m sorry you got mixed up with my last post.
What do you think about the Z490 A Pro? Could a recommended motherboard make it a better upgrade without breaking the bank?
My apologies. I misread your advice. You still need to enable Nvidia GPU monitoring in the ThrottleStop Options window. Your CPU is running great. The log file will show if your GPU has any issues. It seems capable of running your 11600K without any issues at more than its rated speed. A new board or a new AIO is not going to make it run any better. A more powerful GPU is going to give you a bigger increase in FPS compared to a new 11th Gen board or more powerful 11th Gen CPU. If you do want to upgrade the CPU, I would sell your 11th Gen motherboard and CPU and I would upgrade to a 12th Gen system or wait a little bit for the13th Gen Intel CPUs to come out. Upgrading what you have now to an 11700K or 11900K is not going to give you a lot of extra FPS in most games. Not worth the cost.
What platform are you using? How long has this problem persisted? Even after increasing your RAM, does Windows still detect it? If not, your games should function properly on 16 GB. Part of me suspects a memory-related issue (though uncertain), while another part leans toward a BIOS concern. It could stem from a program or software causing the issue, as Unclewebb recommended.
He got it to display on the GPU. Here are the numbers. It's running smoother now. Around 30-40 frames per second. 2022-06-18.txt
It acknowledges the update that adds two more sticks supporting 32 gigabytes. Compatible with a 64-bit Windows 10 system.
