Resolved: GTX 1080 and i7 experiencing decreased frame rates and delayed responsiveness.
Hello everyone, I'm utilizing a GeForce GTX 1080 with an overclock and an Intel i7-7700k processor accompanied by 8GB of RAM. Within Fortnite, I typically achieve frame rates between 120 and 200, though these will occasionally decrease to approximately 90. Furthermore, after roughly two hours of gameplay, I begin experiencing input lag—the game feels unresponsive—however, when the system is initially powered on and launched, performance remains exceptionally smooth. Could you suggest potential reasons for this issue? Should I consider upgrading my central processing unit or graphics card? A friend possessing an i7-8700k and GTX 1080 consistently maintains frame rates of 200-240. My component temperatures never exceed 80 degrees Celsius.
A portion of the available memory has been reduced to conserve space, which is hindering performance. Increasing system RAM would improve this situation as I don't believe the problem lies with the processor or graphics card. With only 8GB of RAM previously, upgrading to 16GB (a non-high-speed variant) resulted in significantly higher frame rates and fewer pauses, due to the CPU being able to access data more efficiently.
A portion of available memory is reduced to preserve space for the operating system’s needs. Increasing RAM would improve performance in this setup, as I don't believe the processor or graphics card is causing the issue. With only 8GB of RAM previously, upgrading to 16GB (using standard RAM) resulted in significantly higher frames per second and fewer pauses, allowing the CPU to access data more efficiently.
The system utilizes compressed memory to conserve space, and increasing the RAM capacity would improve performance. I believe this issue isn't related to the processor or graphics card—I previously had 8GB of RAM and experienced significantly higher frame rates and fewer pauses when I upgraded to 16GB (non-SSD RAM). Let's implement this change! Thank you.
