vviston :
I am quoting myself: "....there are guys on the youtube who can play Whicher 3 on Ultra settings with cca 40fps. I can reach only 25-27...." - of course with the same GPU. It means GTX 1050Ti SC 4GB.
That's why I ask...
As said, it's probably a DIFFERENCE in settings. Gameworks hair, resolution or some other setting.
I've got a GTX1080 and need to turn down a couple settings slightly to run a mostly solid 60FPS (at 2560x1440).
Here's a benchmark:
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1050_Ti_Gaming_X/23.html
It's getting 36FPS at 1080p, hairworks OFF but the LOCATION tested also makes a big difference so it's pretty hard to compare without knowing the EXACT settings.
*I recommend you do this:
#1: POWER OPTIONS-> check PCIe link-state and make sure it's not set HIGH (which can throttle PCIe bandwidth)
#2: run UNIGINE VALLEY->
Install EVGA Precision X, and get the OSD to show the "GPU USAGE" and the "GPU frequency" (it can be very CONFUSING to figure that out at first)
(**NOTE** ignore the upper right Unigine Valley numbers. They are wrong, or at least the GPU frequency is.)
If the GPU is being used properly, it should run near 95% in the benchmark aside from the times it transitions to a new area.
So make sure the GPU frequency is fairly high, and GPU usage is high. I'm guessing 1800MHz or so and 95% usage roughly but that will vary slightly.
#3 TWEAK THE GAME:
Running at ULTRA is not ideal for that card. You want a higher frame rate with less drops. Personally I would do THIS:
a) force Adaptive VSYNC (or "HALF" if 144Hz panel to synch to 72FPS), via
- NCP-> manage 3d settings-> add game-> ... save
b) now game should toggle VSYNC ON or OFF (for 60Hz monitor should stay at 60FPS with VSYNC but if GPU output is below 60FPS you have VSYNC OFF which causes screen tear but not the added stutter that VSYNC ON would have below the cap).
*I aim for about 5% drops below 60FPS as a good balance depending on how obvious the screen tearing is.
c) SETTINGS to use?
You can investigate guides, but peoples preferences vary slightly. Some feature hit the GPU hard but only provide minor benefits. You can aim for a HIGH/MEDIUM combo.
I often increase anti-aliasing to reduce jagged edges rather than increase SHADOWS but you can play around.
CHEERS.
