The computer's performance is not up to par.
I assembled a PC in November and it performs well. I followed the build Linus recommended for the 2016 budget version. Some users with lower specs manage to play games smoothly, but mine struggles with titles like GTA V and H1z1, dropping below 60fps. Now I’m curious: why am I seeing such low frames? Will overclocking my GPU and CPU help? If it does, how should I approach it? Here are my details. I own two GPUs—an ASUS RX480 and a 1050Ti (single fan). My motherboard is an A68HM-K with an A980 DDR3 2400 MHz RAM. The GPU specs include a Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3 1600 MT/s PC3-12800 CL9 at 1.5V, a Cooler Master Elite 342 400W mini tower case, and an AMD Athlon X4 860K with a 95W thermal solution. I also have an MSI GAMING Radeon RX 480 GDDR5 4GB crossfire card that supports VR. My SSD is a 240GB NVMe drive.
Your system is quite demanding on the processor, especially with H1Z1 and GTA V running.
@GalaxyOfLight What resolution do you use? I have tried GTA V with everything on ultra, on a 880k and 1050ti on 1080p and it went around 50-60fps which is decent. AMD is used mainly for budget builds and is not that good as the intel. Also AMD's multicore test showed that it is way slower than an I3 or a G series. @kosamchetoo yes, indeed GTA V is CPU intensive but right now on my actual setup (880k, gt430 and a 1280x1024 resolution) GTA V uses around 50% of its' power. @GalaxyOfLight overclocking will help but not that much. If you have an aftermarket cooler you should try going to 4ghz or 4.5ghz(BUT WITH AFTERMARKET) since I do not know how great is the stock cooler. PS: RX480 is awesome.
