FPS remains low even after upgrading the graphics card.
FPS remains low even after upgrading the graphics card.
Hello, I have an issue and I don't really know if there is anything I can necessarily do about it or not. I have very little experience when it comes to part compatibility and cooperation. So I need help!
I'm running a system that I built in 2013 when I was 12, fast forward to now I just decided to throw a better graphics card in it and overclock the cpu before college.. because why not. Even after doing this I still get about the same fps when it comes to game play.
In overwatch I would average 90-140 frames with my old graphics card (960 2gb), also the cpu used to be clocked at 4.0ghz, and now its pretty much the same except I get anywhere from 90-170. (with 2060 and cpu at 4.6ghz)
I'm sure I need alot more information before I or someone else can really pinpoint what the problem is... I just really don't know what to start with.
Part list (2019 with new graphics card)
i5-4670k @4.6ghz
Msi Z87-G45 Gaming Atx LGA1150
G.Skill sniper gaming Series 16gb (2x8gb) DDR3-1600 mem [this is pretty bad... I just realized this]
EVGA RTX 2060 6gb xc ultra gaming
Honestly, your part list isn't that bad. The GPU is working well. Updating the mainboard, memory, and CPU might help, but I can't say for sure if they're the main issue here since I don't have much experience with the game or Intel specifically.
Are you wondering if your monitor is connected to the GPU? If it isn't, that could be the issue.
yes it is connected to my gpu... lol. i think this might be related to a windows software problem, maybe?
Consider your drivers. If that's not the issue, it might be related to the RAM or the graphics settings you enabled for the game.
During the upgrade, I needed to remove all previous drivers using a specific tool. Having drivers for multiple cards sometimes leads to complications.
Have you experimented with using MSI Afterburner to monitor your system's performance? What is the setting of your display?
