I get a bare 20/30 FPS on maxed settings in Rocket league on my current build, that i think should handle a game like that smooth as butter;

Intel 4 Core i5-4690K
Asus B-85 pro Gamer MLB
Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB
Corsair RAM 16 GB
Corsiar RM650 PSU
Running on Windows 10

MSI afterburner shows a 100% GPU usage when RL is running, but the card is nowhere near working hard or trying its best. Its just quiet and totally NOT under stress from the game. Temperature about 55 degrees. Core clock from the GPU is running at its max.. CPU usage between 30-60%. Could there somewhere be a bottleneck? Or am I expecting too much from this card?

Tried a lot of things, pretty much everything i could find except a clean windows install, i really want to keep that as a last option.

- DDU and reinstall latest driver
- Checked Nvidia control panel settings, found nothing out of the ordinary. Tried several different settings with no effect. Manually added rocket league to 3D Setting panel to make sure it runs on the GPU, no improvement.
- Verified game cache, obviously no effect
- OC'd my GPU in the Gigabyte Engine, NO EFFECT.
- Tweaked in-game settings (full screen/borderless/V-sync on or off etc,..)
- 100 more thing's I already forgot

Everything set to performance, that's PlayStation 1 style of graphics, it gives me in 3v3 60fps with all cars on screen to 100fps when im facing A wall

Yes, Tomb raider on max, fallout 4 ultra (sometimes I get a lagg here but I think thats bc of my mods) or BF1 maxed out run all smooth. The RL is purchased and activated on steam by a key code, so not a pirate version. I'm playing on 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz monitor.
 

That's around the performance you would get with HD4600 (integrated graphics).

So u are saying the game could be using my intergrated GPU? I already checked nvidia control panel and BIOS for this..
One thing worth mentioning is that in the nvidia control panel > 3D settings > general, i saw that a lot of people get a drop down menu where u can choose between graphic cards, I do not have that menu. So I thought everything would just run automatically on my GTX 1060..

Went to Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rocketleague\Binaries\Win32 and ran RL as administrator to make sure, no effect. In Main menu i still only get 75 fps
 
Ok, for the next check you will need to go into your BIOS. Go to

Advanced > System agent configuration > Graphics configuration

1/ Set your primary display from [auto] to [pcie]
2/ make sure igpu multi monitor is disabled (it should be by default

Then save and exit

Done, no change
 
Hmm ok.

Some other ideas:

- go back into nvidia control panel > 3d settings > program settings and select rocket league, set DSR to off and power management to maximum performance

- Try running the game in windowed or borderless instead of fullscreen

- Fiddle with the game specific settings in geforce experience (I can be more specific when I get back home)

All done, no effect. Settings in geforce experience are optimized for the game.
I will be gone for the rest of the day, but i will try every suggestion that pops up if I get back home.

I really appreciate all the efforts, THANKS!
 
^I'm asking because I want to check something.

Open HWinfo 64 and start up a game. Any game except rocket league. Play for a couple mins, close it and check the maximum gpu voltage & clocks in hwinfo.

Then open Rocket league. It should hit the exact same voltage and clocks as soon as you start playing.

No, only one monitor.
HWinfo64 pictures:
Shadow of Mordor
Rocket League
 
If you don't have two monitors you can do it while playing in windowed mode with hwinfo at the side.

But those screenshots do indicate that your gpu is hitting the same P-state in both games. This is a puzzle. If you have steam cloud enabled for rocket league you can always try a reinstall, everything is saved to the cloud right down to the camera settings so you won't lose anything by trying. I know you already validated the local files though so i dunno if it will change anything

Okey, so i reinstalled, didn't made a change.
I'm actually considering to do a clean windows install, or to test my gpu in a friends PC and run RL, but thats a lot of work to make one simple game run smooth..
