I'm wondering if I’m seeing a problem with low frame rates, despite my processor and graphics card not reaching their maximum capacities. Typically, games utilize around 40-60% of my hardware’s resources, but I'm encountering poor performance in State of Decay 2.

My system details are:
CPU: i7 7700k
GPU: Evga GTX 1080 Super (clocked at 2)
RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz
Motherboard: Z170A Gaming M5

The system board shouldn’t limit your results.

Execute this test while only a temporary monitoring application is running, then share the resulting URL below. Additionally, provide the highest CPU and GPU temperatures recorded.

It is likely that inefficient resource allocation or a specific issue causes these ports to malfunction on personal computers.

I’m curious as I’ve been told there might be hardware conflicts between my processor and motherboard, but I’m unsure of its validity.

If your initial Z170 motherboard was older and hadn’t been updated with BIOS revisions, there might be an issue; however, if not, there’s likely no problem.

The central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) will not consistently operate at their maximum capacity during gameplay. What precisely constitutes “low performance” in terms of specific metrics and when compared against established benchmarks? Were you able to evaluate the system’s functionality with diverse games, and did your findings align with benchmark results utilizing the identical video card and CPU? Or did you conduct supplementary tests, such as PassMark or 3DMark, to assess the overall system performance?

If the motherboard shipped with a dated BIOS, then the computer simply wouldn’t start with that processor. It’s generally not a problem, though; updating the BIOS is advisable, but it’s highly improbable that it would affect speed.
