my computer is a piece of *** now

deathtrap995 · Aug 11, 2018

my computer was able to run siege at 200fps + on 1080 while on max settings, i quit for a while and came back. when i started playing games again i noticed a horrible lag, all my games run like * now. i barely manage a stable 60 fps on siege while everything is on low- people have said everything from its my ram, to my psu. im sick of this garbage and i want some ideas on how to fix it.

msi gtx 960 4gb- ryzen 1600- ab350m(mobo) - 8gb cheap kingston 2133hz x2 - 450/550 watt supply(old) - my hard drive is a Toshiba dt01aca100( must be old too)

<Language, please. Thanks>

Have you checked your CPU and GPU temps while playing? Have you updated your video driver?

deathtrap995 · Aug 11, 2018

drivers are all up to date, did a flush on all of them 2 weeks ago and it didnt help, used driver uninstaller and everything

deathtrap995 · Aug 11, 2018

read that wrong btw, yeah all temps are never even passing 60
my bad

Google your graphics card playing the game at ultra settings. And 60 is about what people are getting. (I didn't watch this video) https://youtu.be/falg0qgKJ9g

Low speed ram 2133 on ryzen 1st gen, 960 also is on paur with my 1050ti , I had tried siege, and it was running 60 fps high.

Now we are gonna rule out component by component.
Download hd tune pro and go to health tab, take screenshot and paste it here (upload to hosting img site and paste link).
Go to userbenchmark, download benchmark and run it, post link of your result here.

Seems good, now do the benchmark.

deathtrap995 · Aug 12, 2018

http://prntscr.com/khqpi1 moving so im in and out

The HDD is perfectly fine.

Go to control panel-> hardware and sound-> power option set to high
Then to double check, select "Change plan settings"-> Change Advanced power settings->Then "Processor power managment" (expand)-> Minimum set to 5%, max to 100%, and set to system cooling policy active (cause you are using active cooler i guess).

Restart PC via start menu, go to bios load uefi default, then save&exit.

Check again if it works everything all right.

To check usage of CPU&GPU, download MSI afterburner and install it with riva tuner (if you have riva tuner it should be in notification tab as little blue screen with something red).
Open MSI afterburner, go to settings-> to monitoring tab-> select CPU temperature and tick "Show on screen display" under CPU temperature Graph properties.
LIke this

Then do for the following
CPU Usage
CPU Clock
Framerate (both)
GPU temp
GPU Usage
GPU mem usage
GPU Core

Then after you open up riva tuner (as said up where is located)
Select Show on screen display to ON
and set Framerate Limit to 0! (It only limits FPS to 3D apps, not desktop or any other, just games in general).

Go open game in windowed (its easier), and after playing 5min for example , take screenshot of it and post it.
Sorry for bible.

Do it whenever you can or want, I wont blame you even if you respond after 2 months.

http://prntscr.com/khtb3e im on the ryzen power plan option, i guess it rolls 90-100% at all times gimme a bit for that next thing

RememberThe5th · Aug 12, 2018

When the riva tuner is enabled, it will show IN game, not on desktop.

deathtrap995 · Aug 12, 2018

http://prntscr.com/khts9n IN game it hops from 48% to 100% constantly on the gpu still playing and it goes from low 40s to high of 55

deathtrap995 · Aug 12, 2018

siege just straight up crashed on me actually

RememberThe5th · Aug 12, 2018

Enable in RivaTuner Custom 3D.

deathtrap995 · Aug 12, 2018

had it open already but it doesnt graph anything on itself, just that counter on the top left

volkgren · Aug 12, 2018

deathtrap995 :

That's what you're supposed to see to check out CPU and GPU usage, temperature, etc. while in-game. Watch the counters, enable them if you have to as shown above.

deathtrap995 · Aug 12, 2018

https://prnt.sc/khts9n on recommended settings it fluxes super hard, the only time i get a reasonable solid fps is when i use these settings http://prntscr.com/khuw8s textures are on high

make sure your mb has the newest bios..amd has been updating the agias on the newer mb. make sure you install the newest amd chipset drivers from amd web page.

deathtrap995 · Aug 14, 2018

i updated the cpu a few days ago, found out my driver uninstalled itself for some reason. as for bios i didnt wanna fuck with it but ill get around to it soon hopefully

deathtrap995 · Aug 16, 2018

is the bios my only possibly option left before i tackle it, i dont feel like busting my computer if i mess it up

Mod Edit for language

smorizio · Aug 17, 2018

newer mb have bios updater built in. before you update the bios check how old the bios is on your mb now and what the updates fixes.

I think that FPS is pretty normal for 960 4GB, but usage is ehhh.

deathtrap995 · Aug 18, 2018

robert my boy, since originally posting this my max fps for siege on the same settings (high textures, x16 whatever its called and ultra lod with everything else turned down- im getting 30-40 fps less on average

Well this might hurt, but have you tried reinstalling whole windows again?
Just to rule out any disorder in registry, or software conflict that we cannot see.
