Problem with low frames per second on most new PCs
Problem with low frames per second on most new PCs
Hi everyone, I just assembled a new PC without my GTX 970. Games such as Conan Exiles, The Outer Worlds, and Age of Empires 3 DE all perform poorly. I usually manage around 20-30 fps on medium to high settings. When I tried Age of Empires 3 DE at the lowest settings, I got about 57 fps. I’d really appreciate any advice since I’m puzzled about my low performance. I understand my setup isn’t cutting-edge, but I was hoping for better results.
My PC specs:
Core i7-10700K 3.8ghz
GeForce GTX 970
Asus TUF Gaming Z490-Plus
G.Skill Aegis 2x16GB DDR4-3200
Adata XPG Gammix S5 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD
Thermaltake TPD-0750M 750W Gold
LG G-SYNC monitor 3440x1440 @ 120hz
Nothing has been overclocked
Checked CPU and GPU temperatures and usage while playing. Was a new OS installed?
CPU usage ranges from 36 to 45% while GPU utilization is at 75%. A new operating system was recently installed.
Get MSI Afterburner and configure the fan curve. The temperature is high, so lower those readings.
Have you never worked with MSI before? What temperature range should I be targeting?
