Problem with low frame rate despite powerful hardware
Problem with low frame rate despite powerful hardware
I recently switched from a 1050ti to a RTX 2070 Super, aiming to enjoy my favorite games with better frames and quality. As soon as I started playing, I noticed my frame rate remained low, only 30-40 FPS, sometimes dropping to 10 or 15 even at the lowest graphics settings. I was using 1080p at 60Hz. My GPU stays under 50% usage and the CPU is also stable. I've tried cleaning up drivers, reinstalling twice, adjusting power settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel, but the issue persists across multiple games.
At this point your CPU is the main issue, and your slow memory is making things even worse.
There's no bottleneck between the GPU and CPU. I confirmed this by using Core Temp to look at each core load. All cores also only run at 50% load in game.
I could switch to some 3200MHz RAM but I personally doubt that's the issue.
No you don't understand
I did look at each individual core and none of them were maxed out. I understand if a game only uses 2 or 3 cores but if it was a bottleneck issue then those cores should have a full load.
Even then, it doesn't explain why I still get low FPS even with low graphic settings in game.
