I believe my output is not meeting expectations. Could you provide assistance?
Here’s a description of my system:
I'm using a GTX 1080 graphics card paired with an i7-6700k processor cooled by a Corsair water cooler, 16GB of DDR4 memory on an MSI Z170 motherboard. I have a 750-watt power supply, a 512GB SSD and a 2TB hard drive.
When gaming on my single 1440p monitor with G-Sync, I typically achieve only 100 frames per second at low settings in games like Battlefield V. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey runs smoothly at 90fps on low settings. However, I can easily reach 144 frames per second on ultra settings while playing Overwatch, which is a relatively less demanding game. I’ve attempted using MSI Afterburner, but haven't seen any significant performance improvements with minimal gains. Notably, when playing PUBG at low settings and maintaining 100fps, my graphics card consistently reached 70°C. I'm wondering if there’s anything I can do to improve my system's performance—it seems like my desktop should be capable of more than this.
Your processor’s capabilities are limited. It's designed to run demanding visual games with the highest graphics settings and large screen resolutions, though it won’t achieve excessively high frame rates because those require significant processing power. Adjusting your settings to the maximum level might yield similar results.
Processor Limitations:
Your central processing unit has its limits. It’s capable of running demanding visual games at the highest settings and resolutions, but it won't achieve extremely high frame rates due to their significant CPU requirements. Increasing your graphics settings to Ultra will likely yield similar performance levels. You’re correct that when I adjust all parameters to the maximum, the frame rate is nearly identical. Therefore, the processor is the constraint preventing optimal performance. It seems like it’s time to construct a new computer system. My intuition was that the processor would be the bottleneck, considering it's an older generation model.
