Low FPS with I7-6700 and GTX 1070

AZNDKflush · Sep 3, 2016

So i bought a prebuild computer and when i started gaming, im getting decent fps in the games, which my laptop could do better.
I've updated my Cpu and gpu driver to the lastest.
Specs:
16 gig ram
nvidia gtx 1070
Intel i7-6700 @ 3.40GHz
Win 10 64 bit
x1 SSD 256
x1 HDD 1 GB
I'm not a computer genius and i dont know what to do to solve this problem

have you connected the monitor to the output on the graphics card ?
also, what resolution, what game and what FPS you get ?

AZNDKflush · Sep 3, 2016

n0ns3ns3 :

Yeah, i have plugged it into my gpu :/
Mostly i play csgo, which doesnt require much power to run, but still i get around 50-120 fps, if im lucky, i get around 120-150

n0ns3ns3 · Sep 3, 2016

you supposed to get 200

have you checked the temperatures and clocks while gaming ?

AZNDKflush · Sep 3, 2016

n0ns3ns3 :

By clock do you mean speed, because when i play its around 3.37GHz
´Temperature, no i havent checked it, is it important?

Only 200 fps? shouldnt it be higher

?

n0ns3ns3 · Sep 4, 2016

yes, the Ghz is the units to measure the chip clock frequency.
Use a program like MSI afterburner. it allows to monitor all temperature and frequency of both CPU and GPU.
3.37GHz for i7-6700 is low under load.
Temperature is very important as if something overheats, it starts to work much slower to prevent damage

I had an issue where I had 30fps. I am running gtx 1070 and I5 6600k. I found out that my CPU was throttled at 800mhz. I had to download Throttlestop and uncheck "BD prochot"

Run the intel extreme tuning program and see if it says throttle "yes".

If it does run, through the steps above.

AZNDKflush · Sep 4, 2016

Max_63 :

nope, no throttling :/

n0ns3ns3 :

I've taken some temp now, Witcher 3 Ultra settings, GPU: around 60-65 celsius and cpu around 35-45 celsius

n0ns3ns3 · Sep 4, 2016

that's very low CPU temperature for the load (unless you have 16C ambient). Have you enabled the OSD to see them while gaming ?
can you try to reset the MB bios ?

AZNDKflush · Sep 5, 2016

n0ns3ns3 :

I'm not so familiar with advanced system etc etc., What do you mean by "16c ambient" also OSD? Reset Bios, i can give it a try, will it like delete all my stuff or?

n0ns3ns3 · Sep 5, 2016

it will not delete the staff, just reset the bios settings to default.
OSD - on screen display. you can enable and configure it in afterburner so the things you want (temperatures, frequencies) to see will be shown as overlay in games.
ambient - room temperature.

n0ns3ns3 :

Alright! i'll give i a try, doubt it will work! ill give you message a soon as i've done it and see difference/nothing
I have normal temp. for a household, guess it's around 24?
While gaming, no, i just went into Witcher loaded the in-game and alt-tabbed to see the temp. I can do it and give you a update!

n0ns3ns3 · Sep 6, 2016

you need to play a game for 20-30 minutes to let the things warm up, and than check the temperature.
The GPU temperature is dropping really quick, so better enable overlay to see it in game.

n0ns3ns3 :

So i ran witcher 3, For about 15min and the gpu is around 80+ and cpu is 45-53
Sadly i couldn't use msi OSD, because the function wasnt there.

I dont get it, my Intel core speed is ALWAYS 3.37 when i play games, making photoes etc. Cant i like speed it up since i cant overclock it or do something about it ?

n0ns3ns3 · Sep 7, 2016

what is the exact model of the GTX 1070 ?
And what is the GPU clock when you have those 80+ ?

unclewebb · Sep 8, 2016

If your CPU is maxing out at 3.37 GHz, that means Intel Turbo Boost is disabled in the bios or some software has disabled it. Go into the bios and make sure that Turbo Boost is enabled and also make sure that the C States are enabled. At least C3 has to be enabled to get full speed out of one of these processors. Post a screenshot of ThrottleStop while you are running a single thread of the built in TS Bench test so I can see how you have your processor setup.

n0ns3ns3 :

I have Nvidia gtx 1070
By clock u mean MHz? it was around 2033MHz iirc, or between 2-3000MHz

unclewebb :

Will do when i come home! i'll keep you updated

Where do i enable c-states and c3?

jkhoward · Sep 9, 2016

What is your resolution? You have yet to provide that information. If your laptop is running 720p and the monitor is running 1080p or higher you will have the same or lower FPS depending on the resolution.

unclewebb · Sep 9, 2016

I am not familiar with your computer or motherboard. Sometimes the options available in the bios are very limited. Do some Google searching to figure out how to get into the bios so you can have a look in there to see what is available. Post some screenshots if you are not sure about any options you find. If a manufacturer decides to set the Turbo Power Limits to a very low number, this can also result in Turbo Boost being disabled.

It's probably too many background process running, use razer cortex or something. Always close chrome and if you download the rAzer cortex check the boost section and click on all the non windows services.

jkhoward :

Dang it! i accidently click'd on "Best solution" but the monitor is at 1920 x 1080 and when i play like, csgo i get 50 fps with 1024x768 black bars lowest graphic options

AZNDKflush · Sep 10, 2016

prosapphire :

Alright, will do it when i come back in 1 week XD

I cant find the problem :/
