Performance is very poor overall, even after a factory reset.
Performance is very poor overall, even after a factory reset.
Some observations stand out: the CPU appears to function properly yet isn’t being used fully. It can reach 4.8Ghz, which is normal, but only operates at 4Ghz while using 4Ghz. The GPU isn’t performing as expected, and its power consumption is lower than usual—about two-fifths of the expected amount. The PCIe speed is only 5 gigatransfers, which is also unusual. Are you okay with accessing your PC? I think the graphics card might not be properly seated in the motherboard. Try turning off the computer, removing the GPU, and reinserting it. If you have a riser cable, consider taking it out (just in case you’re unfamiliar). There should be a cable exiting the graphics card; ensure it’s securely connected to the card and fully linked into the power supply (the box where all connections are made).
I can attempt to reposition the GPU and inspect the connection cable. But it appears my GPU usage decreases significantly—from full capacity to just about 20%—when I exit the game, which might make the captured images unreliable. Let me try without exiting the game.
You're seeing very low performance metrics. Your power draw is limited to 135W instead of the full 160W, yet you're only utilizing 75W—this happens naturally when connected directly to the motherboard without extra cables. Your data transfer speed to the GPU remains capped at 5GT, which might affect overall efficiency.
