PC Poor Performance

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

I have a gtx 970 oc and an i5 4690k 8gb ram, I have been getting what I think poor performance for my system, Battlefield 1 feels choppy and just not smooth for most of it, and I don't feel like I've been getting the performance I used to get. I recently overclocked it and had it crash when I tried to play Battlefield 1, got a blue screen that said I had to restart, and I think from that point performance has been shit.

For reference I used 3D Mark Time Spy to benchmark my system and got 1617 with 10 fps throughout, I looked online with people getting way higher scores with the gtx 970, did I just brake my gpu? ;(

what are your temps at ?

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

heavyartillary9 :

In game I've noticed temps around 70 celcius, is that too much?

heavyartillary9 · Oct 27, 2016

no, not nearly enough to thermal throttle, have you set your clock back to normal ?

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

heavyartillary9 :

yes I have, and I accidentally chose that as the answer whoops

heavyartillary9 · Oct 27, 2016

hmmmmm, do you have hwmonitor ?

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

heavyartillary9 :

I have msi afterburner, that shows temps and everything

Is BF1 choppy during multiplayer or during the campaign? If it's choppy during multiplayer and not during campaign it's server issues/your internet issues/package loss/etc. If it's choppy during both, there's an issue in your system.

Edit: Reading through your GPU explanation... Are you sure you're using the 970 and not the iGPU? I'd be surprised if a BSOD caused it to switch, but maybe when you set it to defaults it switched your GPU?

genthug :

maybe but what about the 3D Mark score, shouldn't it be considerably better?

genthug · Oct 27, 2016

See above edit ^

heavyartillary9 · Oct 27, 2016

hwmonitor shows more

, it shows voltage, usage, exact cpu core temps core usage, etc

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

genthug :

sorry i have no idea what an igpu is and how it could've switched

genthug · Oct 27, 2016

The only thing that MSI doesn't show out of those is voltage, which at this point at stock settings is inconsequential.

Your i5 has built in Intel HD graphics. I'm curious whether you're running things off of your Intel HD or off of your 970, basically. It would've been in your bios.

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

genthug :

how would I check that?

genthug · Oct 27, 2016

Would be in your BIOS, should be under Advanced->System Agent Config or Chipset, something like that.

genthug :

alright gotta restart my computer real quick

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

genthug :

alright i restarted my pc and went into bios, mostly forgot what to do but I didn't see any mention of a gpu in everything I checked, temperatures, monitoring hardware, and at the top of the screen it said my cpu, ram, etc. but no gpu, bad sign I guess?

genthug · Oct 27, 2016

Did you check in every single subset for a VGA setting? There has to be one somewhere in it.

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

genthug :

I checked in this thing called board view or something, and It showed the gpu running x16 or something

genthug · Oct 27, 2016

Alright then it's not running off of your iGPU... What does MSI afterburner say your GPU clocks/GPU usages/GPU temps/CPU usages/CPU temps are?

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

genthug :

gpu at idle
temp: 63 C
usage: 1/11
core clock: 1164Mhz
Mem Clock: 3903

cpu
temp: 37 C (says max is 39?)
usage: 19%

genthug · Oct 27, 2016

Errr... That isn't good. What's your GPU temp under load? If it's that high at idle...

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

genthug :

under load I've seen it around 70 C

snowboardx13 · Oct 27, 2016

genthug :

ok something really weird just happened, I opened overwatch and I got an error message saying I overclocked my gpu and caused the game to crash, even though i reset it
