GTX 1070 performance issues

Swiftkills · Sep 27, 2016

Hey guys! I'm having an issue that I cannot quite figure out. I have gotten in contact with NVIDIA, and did a fresh driver install on the card. While playing World of Warcraft, I go into a raid, and in combat I'll fluctuate between 20-30 fps. Vertical sync, triple buffering and Anti Aliasing are turned off. I changed all the Nvidia control center settings on the card to perfect max performance, and still nothing changes. This happens regardless of graphics settings. I could be at the lowest setting and still have the same frame rates as the maxed out graphics settings. Here are my specs

CPU- AMD 6300 6 core Black edition
GPU- GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition
Memory- Crucial Ballistix 16gb (2x8)
Motherboard - gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3
2 TB of Storage

I understand that my motherboard is bad, and my CPU is a little bit outdated. So I just wanted to know if I should replace those 2 components, or if there is an easy fix to make my frames be where they should

Thanks!

It's almost certainly your cpu, there's no way that weak processor can keep up with a 1070 at any meaningfully high settings and the fact that your fps stays the same at different settings indicates this as well.

I would oc the cpu but you could be getting lag from wc server, your cpu is more than enough to play wow, it only requires an amd triple core cpu to run the latest expansion, if your mobo is the culprit try ocing the fsb a bit and see if that helps.

You are more than likely going to find there is a bottleneck here as there is an imbalance between the GPU and CPU, although WoW (like oobymach said) does not have high spec reqs. Make sure all drivers are up to date too, I would upgrade personally and have the best option CPU and MoBo for the 1070 as this will give you the performance you want

Nooo its not the cpu... I upgraded from a 960 to a 1070 (both asus) and for some reason I saw a performance drop compared to the 960 so I'm really confused. Try reinstalling all the drivers and over clocking the CPU but nothing... idk whats up.

I'm having this issue too, recently (4 days) I built a pc
Msi gaming 5 z97 motherboard
16gb of ddr3 ram (Kingston fury I think)
Gtx 1070 from gigabyte (the g1 gaming)
And an i7 4790 processor
When I played warframe on my old build (4gb of ram and an Radeon r7 240 with 4gb of ram) and it would run around 10-30 fps and with my new build if runs at a huge fluctuation between 30-120 (RARLEY reached 60 when actually playing) for those of you who know the game, it reached 120 fps in the liset (which is like your "base"

Siddiet :

It's your CPU man. WoW likes single core performance. AMD CPU's are terrible at single core performance. You need a intel CPU to take full advantage of your 1070. If you drop graphic settings and resolution and the FPS doesn't change, that is a GUARANTEED CPU bottleneck. My old FX 8120 would bottleneck my 970 little lone your FX 6300 bottlenecking a 1070.

Everyone I see who raids in WoW, gets low FPS like that while raiding. It could be the FPS dropped even lower, because you turned up Shadows with the new card, or clipping range. In the past (it's been a few years for me), shadows in WoW required heavy CPU usage. Any range changes would also change CPU usage. Turning up settings isn't always about the GPU, there are some things which the CPU might also get hit harder with.
