My frame rate fluctuates inconsistently across all games.
My frame rate fluctuates inconsistently across all games.
I have a GTX 1080 Ti, an i7-8700k CPU, and 32gb of RAM. I am unable to maintain constant frames at 144; my frame rate fluctuates between 60 and 144, with the GPU usage consistently at 40-50% while the CPU is operating between 50 and 60%. I’m unsure what to do.
The CPU is likely experiencing an issue. Testing frame rates at maximum and minimum settings should reveal a change – higher frame rates with low settings and lower with high. This discrepancy suggests a CPU bottleneck, which is unexpected given an 8700K processor. Something else is impeding the CPU’s performance. Thermal throttling isn't a factor. Check for virus and malware infections; Adwcleaner is recommended: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/. Then, run the System File Checker.
What is the manufacturer and model number of the power supply?
Sea Sonics likely need 750 watts, but it might be 650. I am at work now, and will verify the power requirement when I return home and provide you with the confirmed results.
I’m experiencing issues in Fortnite where I can't consistently lock my frames at 144. My frame rate frequently drops to 60, which is frustrating. My GPU usage is consistently low, between 40 and 50 percent, despite wanting a higher FPS.
I’m not observing any significant abnormalities.
Could you please specify your game graphics settings?
If you are currently using the lowest available settings, does the problem persist?
Are you unintentionally utilizing DSR within the Nvidia Control Panel?
I do not use DSR and it remains consistent regardless of the games I play, whether they are intense or casual. My RAM latency was 58%.
Troubleshooting suggests a problem with the CPU. Observing frame rate behavior at maximum and minimum settings reveals expected patterns – higher FPS with lower settings, and vice versa. However, an 8700K should not exhibit these discrepancies. Therefore, another component is likely restricting CPU performance. Thermal throttling isn't a factor. Consider running a virus/malware scan using tools like Adwcleaner: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/. Subsequently, execute the System File Checker: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...le-checker. Investigate the use of automatic driver installers and remove them, as they can introduce issues with outdated or incompatible drivers. Remove Geforce Experience, which automatically adjusts game settings and may not be optimal. Finally, use Display Driver Uninstaller: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ (installation requires Safe Mode) followed by reinstalling the driver without Geforce Experience.
