Need assistance? Performance is poor despite minimal resource consumption.
I recently started playing Escape From Tarkov and was aiming for the highest performance with minimal settings. I discovered my frame rate was around 50 fps while both CPU and GPU were operating near 50% load. This issue also appeared in other titles, though less intensely, so it didn’t cause much concern before. Now I’m determined to find the root cause because I feel my system is underperforming. It’s really frustrating. In Task Manager, my CPU consistently reports a speed of 4.2 GHz with low load, even reaching up to 4.37 GHz. My idle temps sit at 31°C and load stays under 60°C according to CineBench. Here’s what I have:
- Intel Core i7-7700K (4.2 GHz Quad-Core) – $396.98
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX.BLACK – $99.95
- Motherboard: Asus STRIX B250I GAMING Mini ITX LGA1151 – $121.99
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 – $121.99
- SSD: Western Digital Blue 2 TB M.2-2280 – $229.59
- Monitor: Meshify C ATX Mid Tower – $109.99
- Power Supply: Corsair CXM 750W Bronze – $104.99
- Monitor: Acer GN246HL 24.0" 1920x1080 – $389.99
Overall cost comes to $1,453.48.
I’d also like some feedback on my parts list and whether any component is hindering performance. Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
