The computer is running significantly slower than expected.
The computer is running significantly slower than expected.
Just now, I assembled my initial computer system, and its gaming performance has been notably sluggish on titles it’s supposed to handle without difficulty. For example, in Battlefield 1, I consistently achieve approximately 40 frames per second even when utilizing the lowest graphics configurations. Here’s a breakdown of my hardware:
Processor: Ryzen 5 1600x
Motherboard: Asus B350
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB
Storage: WD Blue 5 TB
Graphics Card: GTX 1070
Power Supply Unit: Rosewill ARC-550
Operating System: Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
I would greatly value any assistance you could provide.
Have your computer's motherboard and graphics card drivers been updated recently? What screen resolution are you using for gaming?
Several factors could be responsible for this. Besides the question posed by the user preceding me, what temperature readings do you get when playing games? It’s possible the CPU cooler wasn't installed correctly, potentially leading to thermal throttling. Additionally, it might be worthwhile to examine the clock speeds your graphics card (1070) is operating at. I've experienced similar problems recently where it would repeatedly lock at 500MHz instead of its intended 1800MHz – a problem that consistently resolved itself with a system reboot.
The graphics card and motherboard software are all current? What screen resolution do you use for gaming? I think my driver versions are updated, and I play at 1920 by 1080.
This situation might stem from various factors. Besides the question posed by the user before me, what are your temperature readings when playing games? It's possible that the CPU cooler wasn’t installed correctly, leading to thermal limitations. Also, investigate the clock speeds your graphics card is utilizing—I’ve experienced intermittent problems where my 1070 would frequently operate at only 500 MHz instead of its intended 1800 MHz, though a system reboot usually resolved this problem. My central processing unit maintains an average temperature of 45 degrees Celsius, and my graphics card is running at approximately 950 MHz.
Regarding my Torveo, it seems a bit surprising that it's only reaching 950 with a 1070 – is there anything set to conserve power in the Nvidia settings? I adjusted the power management profile to prioritize maximum performance using optimal power, and that boosted the GPU frequency up to 1556 MHz.
This appears to be a significantly underwhelming performance level for a 1070. Try removing the graphics card drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstalling them, ensuring you maintain power management settings at their highest levels—this will encourage the GPU to operate at full capacity even when idle or simply using the desktop.
The system performance appears inadequate given the hardware, so I suggest removing the graphics card drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstalling them. Ensure that power management is set to optimal, as this tends to push the GPU to its maximum operating capacity even when inactive or running a desktop environment. After reverting the power management settings, I attempted to remove and reinstall the drivers, but unfortunately, this did not yield any improvements.
