System runs smoothly but performance remains low.
System runs smoothly but performance remains low.
I'm using Elder Scrolls Online as an example because that's the main reason for this question. My CPU and GPU stay under 60% usage, never exceed 70°C. RAM and GPU memory usage are minimal. Yet I still face random FPS drops around 30-40 in crowded areas. If the game isn't stressing my system while playing, why is performance dropping? Could it be a server problem or poor optimization? Anyone have any ideas? My specs: i5 4670k @4.2ghz, 16GB crucial ballistix RAM, GTX 1060 3GB.
1060 doesn't indicate premium performance. It's probably related to a software limitation or problem.
the cpu and gpu pairing works well without any bottlenecks. (it's also not a top-end graphics card)
