Why is my frame rate low despite having a powerful computer?
Remove your graphics card entirely and reinstall it with the latest drivers, ensuring all power pins are connected. Afterwards, your system is most limited by: running only one RAM stick – ideally a matched pair, or alternatively, an additional 8GB stick at 2400MHz. The Ryzen 3 1200 only supports DDR4-2666, so this is close enough that it shouldn’t be a major concern with the Ryzen 3 1200. You are also somewhat restricted by your CPU. While the 1070 GPU is powerful, it’s limited by the instructions it receives from the CPU. Consider a more robust CPU to complement your GPU, such as a Ryzen 7 2700x.
I appreciate the post and will attempt to reconnect the power outlets, focusing solely on restoring the previous performance – specifically, that the PC functioned correctly previously before this issue arose.
When is this “some time ago” you keep mentioning? The 1200 was a budget chip when it was released two years ago, and you have it paired with what was the second-fastest video card on the market at that time. To add to that, the CPU which needs dual channel high speed RAM to run as well as it does is being starved with your configuration. So I don’t know what you had “some time ago” but here and now you need a faster CPU and another stick of RAM to get the most out of that video card.
If a Trojan has persisted and remains active, it’s conceivable that remnants of the virus remain on your system. The most reliable method to confirm a virus’s removal is to create a full backup, erase the drive entirely, and subsequently reinstall your operating system.
Boot from the USB drive. Navigate to the Windows installation files. Select the desired language and keyboard layout. Choose "Install Now." Accept the license agreement. Select "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)." Locate and format the drive you want to install Windows on. Select the partition and delete it. Choose the drive where you want to install Windows. Confirm installation. Complete the setup process, including creating a user account and setting up network connections.
Just because formatting doesn’t necessarily resolve the trojan problem. Your antivirus may have detected and removed it, but if you obtained it from a frequently visited website, it could reappear. Additionally, if the trojan was quarantined, which is an effective method to prevent ongoing issues, formatting may have erased that action. Malwarebytes is a good option, and I suggest using their standard tool as it also scans for trojans. I also utilize their anti-rootkit tool.
