I'm curious if the issue lies in the game or my Intel setup. Comparing Intel 6800k/1070 TI with AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz on MSI Radeon RX 570 8GB with both 32GB RAM and Samsung 970 EVO Pro and 1TB EVO 850. Recently I changed the DRAM location to D1 B1 on an Asus Aii x99 MB and moved the GPU to PCIX 3 cuze, but it overheated all the system and the airflow with Noctua N15 was intense. I don't think it's causing the FPS problems. The game uses 40% GPU and 20-60% CPU.
It displays details about the bus interface when you run GPUZ, and clicking the "?" increases the load on the GPU for more information.
When using an Intel chipset with an NVMe drive, a significant bandwidth limitation is likely due to the DMI connection.
Why is it using an X8? It’s plugged into the red box—what should I do?
Your CPU offers 28 PCIe lanes, meaning the corresponding slot is likely set for 8 lanes only with this processor. Use the highest slot for x16 bandwidth. Be aware the system might lower performance or lane count when the GPU is idle or under light usage. Applying a load via the ? button in GPU-Z can stress the GPU and attempt to improve throughput. Note: during gaming, check "bus utilisation" on the second tab of GPU-Z. Elevated values may indicate PCIe becoming a bottleneck, though 3.0x8x should generally handle it well.
I understand your point about close proximity. In one setup I added an insulator to avoid short circuits, but the cooler needs fans to maintain airflow without affecting case ventilation. Closer placement of the GPU might improve air movement and reduce turbulence.
It runs at x8 3.0, giving ample bandwidth for the 1070 Ti. However, if it uses the DMI bus, it may face issues with other connected devices. As noted by @porina
I returned to the original spot. Bus usage isn't visible, so I shared the logs. GPU-Z Sensor Log.txt
