Good pc but low fps
Good pc but low fps
Hello! I have a problem with my pc I cannot identify. I have low fps in games like rainbow six siege, valorant, csgo, overwatch 2. There's so much tearing and stuttering when moving around and using abilities. I did a clean install of windows 10 and installed the chipset and newest gpu driver but nothing fixed. How do I fix this?
How many fps should I get in valorant? Am I expecting too much ?
GPU: rx 580 4gb from gigabyte
CPU: i5-7400
RAM: 32gb from corsair
SSD: m.2 samsung 980 1tb
PSU: njoy 550w
MOBO: Asus prime b250m-a
It could very well be the reason for the issue. This isn't a reliable or premium power supply intended for gaming setups. Consider upgrading to a more robust PSU from trusted manufacturers such as BE QUIET, Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, Enermax, Cooler Master, and others. Avoid cutting corners on the PSU since it's the key component in any gaming PC. It seems your current model is likely from Romania.
Thank you! However, it's unclear how the psu impacts your games and causes stuttering. Could you provide more details?
Yes, stuttering can occasionally stem from an insufficient or low-quality power supply. Although I didn’t claim your PSU is the direct cause, it might be one of several factors contributing to the PC’s performance issues. The NJOY PSU brand is a notable concern right away. All computer parts rely on the power supply as their main energy source, and if it can’t deliver enough power consistently, stuttering will occur unpredictably. Your system may experience stuttering when the PSU is outdated or lacks sufficient power to meet the demands of your components. Another potential issue is that your GPU might not receive adequate power from the PSU, leading to problems like stuttering. The main reason behind this could be defective power supply cables. While a power supply doesn’t directly influence frame rate, it affects performance when it fails to provide enough wattage—especially for components such as the graphics card. An underpowered PSU can cause your GPU to struggle, resulting in a significant drop in FPS. If the GPU operates at full capacity and is heavily stressed, you may soon face a complete system failure, particularly with a very poor-quality PSU model.
I get it, thanks! I've never experienced a system crash due to the PSU. A bit of background: the PSU I own is used second-hand, and after playing some games I often hear a rattling sound, which is quite bothersome. I plan to purchase a better one.
Another inquiry, is my PC able to maintain steady 144+ fps in Valorant? That’s the game I mainly play, or could it be the CPU being the issue? I don’t want to spend a lot on a quality power supply only to discover the CPU was the problem; my budget isn’t large.
I play this game on a screen with 1080p resolution and a refresh rate of 60Hz. My current PC specifications are adequate for this title. I don't regularly play FPS games, so I can't confirm definitively, but Valorant is regarded as a CPU-heavy game, indicating it relies more on the central processing unit than the graphics card. Nevertheless, it generally runs smoothly and is well-optimized, allowing most CPUs to handle it effectively.
In terms of system requirements, Riot Games suggests that Valorant can be played with 2 to 6 CPU cores, depending on the model. According to their guidelines, a minimum of 6 cores is needed for smooth performance at 144+ FPS, while 2 cores suffice for 30 FPS.
Beyond core count, the processor's quality and speed play a crucial role in determining performance.
The PSU needs to be taken out of there immediately, for safety reasons, apart from any FPS issues. This is a horrifyingly cheap PSU, and nJoy is infamous for taking cheap junk and slapping their ownb fraudulent 80 Plus certifications on their PSUs. They sell a lot of dodgy garbage, mostly in Romania, and the most valuable part of their PSUs is the cardboard box it's packaged in. Hopefully this hasn't damaged anything.
I believe the company is called "Dai-Tech". TECH appears to be the legal owner of the nJoy brand. Many of their products are quite generic and of low quality. Some items even pose serious fire risks, as I remember. njoy produces poorly made power supplies, and I've witnessed numerous PC systems failing after using them on a powerful gaming rig. I wouldn't use this PSU model under any circumstances, even with a long pole. It's completely useless.
