What should i upgrade when it comes to getting better fps when upgrading to an 144hz?

Bajass · Sep 13, 2016

Im planning to buy an 1080p 144hz monitor, im gonna have an 60hz 1920 x 1080 and an 144hz 1920 x 1080 connected to the same graphics card. I have already experiencing some lag drops on Battlefield 1 and Gta V. Is it anything i can upgrade in my PC to make it the full experience when it comes to the 144hz?

Power Supply: CX 750W
CPU: i5-4690
Motherboard: ASUS B85-PRO GAMER, Socket-1150
RAM: HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 8GB Black
GPU: Asus STRIX GTX 1070 OC 8GB
Harddrive: Seagate® Desktop SSHD 1TB

I would upgrade the CPU. The i5 4690 can go to the i7 4790K. To do so, I would recommend a good CPU cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212X Dual Fan.

Also, your power supply is rather low quality. I would recommend the Corsair RM650x for that machine.

An i5 4690 + GTX1070 should have an easy time with a 144hz 1080p monitor. I wonder if it's a driver or setting issue if you're getting drops already.

Before you go and buy my recommended parts, let's make sure that your current CPU and GPU are functioning properly without overheating.

Please download AIDA64 Extreme, drop down the Tools Menu across the top, select System Stability Test, select all options except for Local Disk, run the test for ten minutes. Take a screenshot of the Clocks and Statistics tabs every thirty seconds and save the screenshots immediately.

You will need to upload the screenshots to an image hosting site like Imgur or Google Drive and then you can just copy paste the link into the reply box here on Tom's. If using Google Drive, make sure that Link Sharing is turned on.

I'm sorry it looks like I confused you...

I meant to run the test for ten minutes, and take the screenshots while it's running.

Bf one is beta , GTA 5 I'm not sure any CPU on the planet (apart from a massively overclocked skylake i7 maybe) can consecutively push a constant 100fps+

No doubt your rig can hit max fps on 'some' select older titles but on anything current its not going to happen.

What can i improve in mye build to get it better. At a decent price range

Isokolon · Sep 13, 2016

you'll never hit 144fps on GTA V on max settings
even with an i7+1080 there will be parts where you will only be getting aroun 65fps

your setup is good, expanding RAM maybe if you're multitasking while gaming
but at this point there's no much that's worth upgrading

weberdarren97 · Sep 13, 2016

Your temperatures and clocks seem fine... This is likely a software issue.

Please clean install the newest drivers for your graphics card.

CTurbo · Sep 13, 2016

There is no cpu that you could upgrade to that would give you significant boost. Adding more RAM could help a little at times.

Have you checked benchmarks to see what kind of performance you SHOULD be getting?

Bajass · Sep 13, 2016

I will check it out now

Might go to 16GB, might also go to a full SSD

Bajass · Sep 19, 2016
