My goal is to identify the reason for my reduced frame rate in video games.
My goal is to identify the reason for my reduced frame rate in video games.
My computer’s hardware includes an RTX 2070 Super graphics card, an i7-4790k processor, and 16 gigabytes of RAM. However, I’m still experiencing low frame rates even on relatively simple games like Grand Theft Auto V and Rainbow Six Siege. When I monitor my system using the task manager, specifically for GTA, it shows that my GPU is only being utilized at 8% while maintaining a consistent frame rate of 60 fps, with my CPU and RAM both operating at 50%. I’ve investigated this issue and discovered that updating my drivers hasn't resolved the problem. Any suggestions or guidance regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Is V-Sync enabled? When activated, V-Sync synchronizes your display’s frame rate with the monitor’s refresh rate. Your memory, utilizing DDR3 technology – an older standard – may lead to occasional frame fluctuations. Furthermore, the i7-4790K processor (running at its maximum speed) combined with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (also operating at full capacity), when used in a single system, will result in a 18.64% performance limitation or “bottleneck.” A bottleneck is generally defined as any restriction above 10%.
Is V-Sync activated? When enabled, V-Sync synchronizes your display’s frame rate with your monitor's refresh rate. Your memory (RAM) utilizes DDR3 technology, a previous generation, potentially leading to occasional frame rate fluctuations. Furthermore, an Intel Core i7-4790K processor running at its maximum speed (100%) paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card running at full capacity (100%) – utilizing one card – will result in a 18.64% performance limitation or “bottleneck.” Any percentage exceeding 10% is classified as a “bottleneck.”
