What’s causing my frame rate to be so poor?
What’s causing my frame rate to be so poor?
The graphics card temperature is 54 degrees Celsius, and the processor temperature is approximately 82 degrees Celsius, according to my assessment.
I’m curious about something amusing. I've set my system to its lowest settings and am only achieving 120 frames per second. I previously owned a different computer that had to be returned, and it featured a weaker graphics card… I reached 200 frames per second on that one, but it frequently froze.
If Vsync is enabled, 120 frames per second represents your maximum achievable rate. A simple test to confirm this would be to slightly increase the visual settings and observe whether there’s a small or nonexistent decrease in frame count.
Regarding your statement about “it” reaching 95 degrees Celsius, could you please indicate the specific line within your log where this temperature is recorded? Perhaps a screenshot from HW Monitor during operation—specifically when running a game windowed—would be helpful for clarification.
A temperature of 95 degrees Celsius would likely cause performance reduction due to thermal limits for either the processor or graphics card. If the CPU is overheating, it could be because the cooling system wasn't properly mounted or was dislodged during delivery. Based on the images displayed on the product page, it appears they are utilizing one of these Zalman coolers instead of the original AMD cooler. To check if the CPU is overheating, verify that the cooler is firmly in place. Could those readings have been taken after a sustained period of operation? What temperatures are observed when the system is idle on the Windows desktop before any workload is applied?
Following a roughly 30-minute session playing Fortnite, system performance metrics were observed. GPU specifications are detailed below.
