Noticing reduced frame rates with GPU and CPU usage under 40%
Noticing reduced frame rates with GPU and CPU usage under 40%
Hi, I recently installed a new PC and when testing games like Valorant and Roblox, I'm seeing around 90-110fps. Adjusting the graphics settings didn't help much, and my system feels slower. My current configuration includes: Ryzen 5 3600, Lenovo ThinkPad JPS600 2TB SSD, G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB 3600mhz, ASRock B450M Pro4 R2.0, ASUS Rtx 2080 Turbo edition, MSI A750BN, and the CPU and GPU are both set to automatic overclock.
I haven't come across this series of units before.
Looking into tech reviews and support comments, I noticed feedback about the build quality.
What is the warranty period for this model?
This kind of problem often arises when the PSU isn't delivering enough power.
Is this referring to a single 1x 16GB or two 8GB packages?
Have you confirmed that this configuration appears in the motherboard's QVL?
What factors lead you to think it runs at low FPS?
I’d say that’s quite high for a CPU with this lower-end processor.
Which software are you using to track usage stats?
What temperatures do your CPU and GPU reach during intense gaming or stress tests?
5 years ago many PC builders suggested the 500 watt model. I checked the motherboard (there was a typo), it only supports 3200 mhz, but some people say it's okay while others say not. I have two 8GB kits. The games I play run smoothly. My laptop without a GPU performs slightly better, and my PC used to run at around 80% with parts working up to 8000 rpm. I use Task Manager and NVIDIA Overlay. My CPU is between 48-58C and the GPU between 50-62C. All drivers and windows are up to date. My BIOS hasn't been updated, but I have three intake fans, two above the PSU, and three exhaust fans.
the board's QVL lists the memory kits that are officially supported. if they aren't included, it's likely they won't work properly with this motherboard. updating the BIOS to the latest version can bring manufacturer fixes, hardware updates, performance improvements, and more support for chipsets and PCIe versions. otherwise, the manufacturer remains unclear about what they mean.
using a power supply with less than 7 watts—and preferably a 10-year warranty—is usually of lower quality, especially for gaming or high-performance systems. the product isn't expected to last more than five years, indicating it's built with inferior materials. these units often struggle to deliver consistent power during heavy use, such as gaming sessions. they're also more prone to failure and could damage connected components if not handled carefully.
running them at very low settings is essential. even achieving 60fps at the lowest configuration requires a dedicated GPU of at least 1GB for Valorant.
Oh ok, thanks I will keep that in mind when I buy a psu next time.
Yea, but like even if I run it on a high/low setting I'm getting same fps on my pc, only different is how much my cpu and gpu is running. I would say on low setting cpu and gpu is about 10% or less and high is around 40% or less. But my laptop does less fps when higher graphic. I mean I'm fine with the fps because I can't really tell a different but its like my monitor can run up to 165hz which is annoying.
