If increasing the graphics setting on your new graphics card results in low FPS, but the GPU isn’t operating at its maximum capacity while maintaining that FPS, you likely need a processor with stronger single-core processing power. First, ensure you have the newest drivers installed for your GPU and verify you haven’t inadvertently set an FPS limit within any applications (like the Nvidia Control Panel, the monitoring tool, or the game itself).
What software do you use to monitor both CPU and GPU temperatures and their performance?
I suspect my processor is limiting the graphics card I'm using; I utilize CPUID HWMonitor for temperature readings. When attempting high settings, my frame rates decrease – I believe this indicates the GPU is being utilized more, though I haven’t confirmed it. Typically, during gameplay, the load is split evenly between the CPU and GPU.
Your FPS won’t decrease if the GPU isn't fully engaged. Perhaps some computationally intensive game features are present in the settings, but tasks like texture quality, lighting effects, and anti-aliasing are handled by the graphics card. Therefore, experiment with adjusting the game’s settings to approach high levels – your frame rates should remain consistent as long as the GPU wasn't fully utilized previously.
If you observe a 50/50 distribution of resource usage, increasing detail settings may not impact FPS. Try using MSI Afterburner to examine CPU clock speeds and temperatures while playing. Additionally, run the AIDA64 Extreme stress test to determine if your CPU is experiencing thermal throttling under load.
