Issue with reduced frame rate in game despite minimal CPU and GPU usage
Issue with reduced frame rate in game despite minimal CPU and GPU usage
Hello,
I've seen similar posts to this around, but none of them have been helpful in my case. As the title says I'm getting a constant low FPS in a game for which I meet the recommended specs and my CPU and GPU are not pushed to the limit. My specs are:
Ryzen 5 1600
RTX 2070 SUPER
16 GB DRR4 3000MHz
Asrock B450 Pro4
1 TB SSD NVME
The CPU is on the lower end but if it was bottlenecking it should be at 100% in game. Both CPU and GPU are around 40% and My FPS is around 30 at max setting and around 40 at minimum setting. So changing settings doesn't make much difference. Running at 1440p resolution.
I saw some suggestions to update the BIOS, but I did not do this as it was not recommended by the manufacturer, and I don't see how it would help. All other drivers are up to date. XMP is enabled and running fine. One other thing I noticed in task manager is that my CPU clock speed is not going past 3.3, even though that is not the turbo speed.
Lastly the game in question is Elden Ring, which according to every benchmark site I checked a 2070 super should be able to run at 60 fps at max settings. I am fairly convinced there is something wrong with my system.
What Windows power configuration are you employing? Consider switching to High performance for maximum CPU utilization. Verify your memory settings to ensure it operates at 3000MHz. Observe the RAM consumption during gameplay by reviewing the Task Manager for speed and usage details.
in 2070 a 2070 super consumes 215 watts. the suggested power supply is 650, which isn't that costly.
hope this is useful
