Performance issues with gaming

theiowaninja · Jan 17, 2018

Intel i5-6600k processor
Nvidia 1080ti graphics
64 bit
Windows 10.

I had been overclocking my GPU a bit when I wanted to install a program to overclock my CPU. I installed it and it required a reboot. After powering down my rig wouldn't boot back up. I had to do a system restore. Ever since it's been generally slow and gaming is terrible. I used to get 100+ frames on Rainbow Six Siege and now I barely maintain 50.
GTA V is also very unstable. I'll go from 80 frames to 25 in seconds.

I'm not sure how to fix it and I'll be at work all day today but I wanted to get some ideas. I'm buying a new motherboard and processor soon but I don't want the issue to carry over if that's even possible.

I think your OC soft did OC and system restore did not change that. You get to very high temps in seconds and then GPU is throtled down to keep it from burning. Install legit OC soft from your GPU manufacturer and try to restore factory settings(or set them manually following specs from box).

Hmmmm where did you get this so called program??

If you want to CPU overclock you have to do it in the BIOS.

Most overclocking programs are junk and typically set values such as voltage higher then actually needed, uninstall this program and reset all the overclocks back to stock, from there overclock manually.

Here's everything you need to know about overclocking.

I was going to install MSI Afterburner but it wouldn't boot afterwards. When I get home I'll uninstall my current program (Firestorm) and figure out the Nvidia program I have. The thing with the Nvidia program is it won't let me modify anything.

Trying to use my old OC settings just makes performance worse and my cpu usage is very high all the time. Not even gaming and just running chrome and discord I'm at 60-70% usage

MSI Afterburner shouldn't cause boot issues, get rid of that Firestorm program and revert all clocks back to stock for now until you can figure out what's causing your issues before you continue to overclock.

What should I look for to help determine my performance problem?

WildCard999 · Jan 17, 2018

Once everything is back to stock I'd check CPU/GPU temps while idle and ingame, then start checking for viruses/malware and then make sure your system is up to date with drivers and Windows updates.

Ok I'll do that when I get home and I'll post my results

theiowaninja · Jan 17, 2018

Idling (just chrome, afterburner, and discord)
CPU cores:
0 - 29c
1 - 30c
2 - 27c
3- 28c

GPU - 25c

CPU utilization- 33%

In-game on Rainbow Six Siege:
Very unstable frames ranging from 78-35.
CPU:
Core 0 - 41c
1 - 43c
2 - 35c
3 - 39c

GPU temp: 46c

CPU utilization: 100%

Everything is up to date and I scrubbed my pc for malware or viruses.
I am still not achieving the performance I once had.

I'm buying a new processor and motherboard anyway so I hope this resolves it

Yea the CPU usage shouldn’t be at 100% which is causing your unstable FPS.
