GTX 1070 Performance Issues (World of Warcraft)

Jemac89 · Dec 15, 2016

I just upgrade my GPU to a GTX 1070 SC Edition, and on ultra in the Dreamgrove I am getting 40-60 FPS on 1080p at 60hz. I can't imagine what a raid or capital city would be like. My CPU is an i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core, 8GB of PNY DDR3 RAM, MSI PH61A-P35 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H61 SATA 6Gb/s MOBO and a Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
3.5" Internal Hard Drive (HDD).

I know my CPU is not the newest, but I really thought a freaking GTX 1070 would at least get me to 90fps. I have my Max Foreground at 100fps, Max background FPS at 30fps, and Render Scale at 100%. Any tips? Pretty bummed right now.

EDIT - It is worth pointing out that I am going to be upgrading my MOBO, Ram, HDD (to SSD), and CPU soon so potentially this issue will be fixed post upgrade.

Did you do a driver wipe and reinstall? Sounds like something with your drivers isn't right - your performance should be much better.

Twice, actually. I wiped my old Radeon drivers, and reinstalled the full Geforce Experience suite (including the most up to date driver) multiple times.

I wouldn't expect your CPU to be holding you back THAT much...
When you're in game and getting poor performance, can you monitor your CPU? If it is at 100% utilization, but your GPU is at say 50% utilization - then we would know that it is a severe bottleneck from your CPU.

Yeah - I'll download one of those tools and post back here with my findings.

Your card may have the thermal issue. When did you purchase it? Can you check the BIOS version of the card to see is it fixed for the thermal issue?

Ok, I installed RealTemp 3.70. and my load is around 65%, and my cores are around 120 degrees Fahrenheit. I have heard that WoW is a CPU intensive game, but then again...I am not maxing out my CPU, so I am a bit confused.

I can't figure out how to get into BIOS for my MSI PH61A-P35 motherboard :/ I have tried delete, f2, f11 and no luck
