[SOLVED] BAD FRAMES WITH A GOOD COMPUTER

[skyzosnop]

I have my computer for 1 year, I tried gta v and many other games... My pc specs are:
GTX 1660 TI 6GB
I5 9600K
16 GB RAM
VX650W
120GB SSD
3TB HDD 5k Rpm
Motherboard: gigabyte z390m
Cooler: master hyper 212 cooler master


In gta v it drops up to 15 frames... with this system I dont belive this should happen, I have extreme fps drops in other games too (from 200/300 to 30) I tried to put the games on the ssd to see if it was the disc bottlenecking my computer but i still had the same frames... Could it be the psu? Not outputing the amount of wats I need? Im very confused... I tried everything and nothing helps it...

Hmm, there are a few things that can cause this... you haven't mentioned what your motherboard is? Also what cooling do you have on the CPU and in the case? I suggest installing CPUID HW Monitor (link: https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html ) - the free version is fine.

Set that running before starting a game and then you can alt - tab back and look at what your temps are (or display it on a second screen if you have one). The main temps to look at are the CPU, motherboard and GPU temps, if any of the temps get too high it will cause throttling and drop clocks to cool everything down.

The CPU and motherboard should stay under 80C to work properly, GPU's can run a bit hotter, up to about 90C shouldn't thermal throttle.

Now I added some missing information, my gpu temps are no more than 80c and I dont think my cpu goes over 70c I really dont know what makes me lag so much... Thanks for replying!

So i did some tests with the program you told me and i dont see any anomaly going on, I recorded a little bit so you can see it too, I was playing in windowed mode as it switches faster between programs, If i play full screen ill play with the same fps count:

For GTA V specifically, there are some problems with the game with newer high performance cpu's where if the frame rate gets too high the game starts to stutter. I suggest changing the settings and turning V-sync on as this will limit the game to your monitors refresh rate - the game is stable up to 180 fps, if it goes above that it tends to stutter. Here is an article about it:

The temps and everything look fine, I think it's probably the game rather than your system

The thing is, it happens to me in more games like, overwatch where it drops from 250 to 30s and assassin's creed unity, pretty much any game with nice graphics, csgo drops sometimes too, could this be the motherboard?

Your games are on the 5,000 RPM HDD?

Yes they are, but I tried an ssd to check if that was the problem and the frames remained the same.. (240gb ssd 1gbps when I transfered a game to there)

I have been running along nicely at 60 FPS and then the game with switch into something and it will drop briefly to 45 FPS before going back to 60 FPS. It could be the fact that a lot of games have the FPS capped and if you are running above that cap, then you will have issues. The Witcher was capped at 60 FPS for instance. Didn't hurt the game any.
