Bad FPS with decent setup

[williamp230]

Just recently built a gaming PC which has:
GTX 1070 8gb
16 gb of RAM
Intel i7-8700k
MSI Aorus gaming 5
Gold 650w
Corsair H115i Liquid Cooler

Im getting terrible frames on alot of games like Arma 3 which gets around 30-40, EFT getting 50-60.
Ive updated all my drivers and have Windows 10. Also went into setting and set my power plan to high performance and set my perferred GPU to the GTX 1070. Extremley confused on why im getting so bad of fps on a decent setup. someone pls help.

how is the video card configured for those games, are you on Ultra settings for instance? I would install the Geforce Experience and let it determine optimal drivers and settings.

what resolution are you playing in?

I have Geforce experience installed but how exactly do I let it determine the settings? Only a couple are on ultra while the rest are on high or disabled. *Update* just figured our how to optimize ill go run arma and see how it does. Just ran it and im now around the 40-50 FPS but I still feel like with this setup I should be getting much more.

what resolution are you playing in?

Ive tried changing them all but I run on Very High at the moment.

resolution like 4k? 1080p? 1440p? wide screen?

No, not graphics details and stuff. I mean the resolution. Are you playing 1080p (Full HD), 1440p (WQHD) or 2160p (UHD/4k)? Because if you on 2160p your frame rates would be quite good!

1920x1080 sorry about that.

did you run benchmarks? can you run, cinebench or something like this and let us know the scores?

If MSI Kombuster works I just ran a benchmark test at preset 1080 and my score was 9459. Not sure what that means but if you need me to go with cinebench let me know.

ill answer this honestly, idk. Id assume 1080p but if you can help me figure out for sure that would be nice.

what OS?
What the cpu/gpu temp during the game?

yes I downloaded Geforce Experience and let it optimize the game. So far ive reached a max of like 48 FPS.

Windows 10
CPU temp sits around 52 degress celcius

that's not bad for Arma 3 according to the Internet. how much fps are you looking for? also, update us with your loads and temps for cpu/ram/drive etc.. use Resource Monitor while gaming if you have to to see what the big hogs in each category are,

hey, watch this

maybe your water details are way too high

 

[mjbn1977]

That is why I asked for other benchmark numbers, since I don't know Arma. But I know it can be taxing.

60 fps is optimal, but 48-50s ain't bad. i think he can config his settings to make it better from there.

So ive been changing the view distance like in that video but somehow im now back to like high 20s low 30 FPS......

 

[Peter Martin]

so why not use the optimized settings then from geforce experience and don't sweat a few fps. you can always experiment with everything to fine tune it from there. i would not try running ultra settings off the bat, play around with stuff and see what effect it has
