Upgraded pc but worse FPS

hecticgamer9 · Oct 20, 2016

i recently upgraded my computer and it has dropped almost all of its performance. Arma 3 on high was 40-50 FPS now its on low and getting under 10 FPS

Old pc specs:
700w powersupply
Nvidia gainwood 660
Asus H81M-E
Intel core i5 4460 3.4ghz

New pc specs:
1600w EVGA powersupply
Msi gaming x 1080
asrock x99 fatality
Intel core i7 5820k 3.3ghz

What could the problem be thanks in advance

Install MSI Afterburner and use it to monitor GPU usage, temperature, and core clock while gaming, then post the results here.

Have you installed graphics drivers?

Did you wipe your OS drive and reinstall your OS? Cant just swap them in between PC parts and expect it to work well. Reformat, reinstall.

I am using Kombustor instead of opening a game

I have MSI afterburner open and when my PC is idling the GPU usage is at 7-8%, the GPU temp is 49 degrees Celsius, and the core clock is 215 MHz

With Kombustor open GPU usage is at 90-98% usage, GPU temp is 69-70 degrees Celsius , and the core clock is 1700 MHz-1850 MHz

Try to set powers settings to high performance and defrag pc.

Utkarsh Mahajan · Oct 21, 2016

hecticgamer9 :

Your cpu usage?

hecticgamer9 · Oct 22, 2016

Utkarsh Mahajan :

5% idle 15% with kombustor open

any ideas on how to make it work

hecticgamer9 :

I said, try settings power settings to High performance, Look in bios for power saving features,etc. you might need to disable. Don't change the settings if you don't know what they do.

Disable something like g1e or soemthing like that named saving options in bios and if you have some low-high voltage problems then don't do this

I just did all of that and launched arma 3 CPU usage is at 23% and GPU is at 15%
and i double checked that everything is up to date

Any power issues?

hecticgamer9 · Oct 22, 2016

Utkarsh Mahajan :

1600w EVGA powersupply shouldn't have any

Utkarsh Mahajan · Oct 22, 2016

hecticgamer9 :

Not from psu. i mean is the psu getting sufficient power to run . I had this problem, i had to disable and bios feature which would run at high power even when electricity used to go and my invertor was weak to give the needed 450W

Did you install the motherboard drivers after fresh install? Update bios? Go through windows power, advanced and unlocked all the cores, max cpu usage 100% etc?

Utkarsh Mahajan · Oct 22, 2016

yea, try using unpark cpu

hecticgamer9 · Oct 22, 2016

Karadjgne :

I have done all of that all it says all 12 cores are unlocked

hecticgamer9 · Oct 22, 2016

Utkarsh Mahajan :

none of my cores are packed

Mr Kagouris · Oct 22, 2016

Check what PCIe link the GPU is using (x1, x4, x8, x16). I believe AIDA64 can provide this info.

hecticgamer9 · Oct 22, 2016

Mr Kagouris :

3.0 x16 @ 1.1 x8 thats all it says

Upgraded pc but worse FPS
