bad performance after just built the pc for christmas

[poncholeotard]

hi i have a gtx 10606gb founders edition, core i3 8100, 16gb of ram, 550 evga power supply, and a gigabyte z370p d3, and 2tb hdd, and i have been getting bad fps and microshutter that might be from my 60hz monitor and everything is up to date i see people with the same build get get fps and performance and i was wondering if anyone can help

cpu/gpu temp and usage during the games?
what games?
what resolution? try lowering the detail?
what os? fresh os install when you build the pc?

What game are you playing?? When you're playing, can you press Ctrl-Alt-Del and click on task manager and the performance tab to see what your CPU usage is?? The i3 most likely doesn't have enough threads for that game.

Also, you can turn on Vsync in the game to see if that smooths it out. If it doesn't smooth then you have a problem. If it does smooth then it's most likely your monitor is too slow. Vsync works great for single player games, but it'll cause input lag for competitive multiplayer games. So keep that in mind.

is that good for the computer

 

[SgtScream]

If it was bad, I wouldn't recommend it.

 

[poncholeotard]

ok i did that so do you want me to rerun the tests i did

 

[SgtScream]

Is it better?

 

[poncholeotard]

so i just ran another test and my cpu usage was at like 30 or 25 when nothing was really happening and gpu was at 55 or 65 or 75 the game im playing is fortnite and is that normal for the usages to be low when nothing is happening and i get these microshutters before we get on the bus and it always happenedes and should i run other games to see how that goes

 

[poncholeotard]

so instead of fortnite i played apex legends and for some reason my gpu is at 75 or 79 and my cpu is at 25 30 or even 18 WHY so frustrating

 

[SgtScream]

Are these numbers FPS or temperature?

 

[poncholeotard]

Its usage fps usally 60 at all times besides in fortnite in the beginning of the game i get microshutters

[poncholeotard]

yes that helped the problem a little its not as bad but what about the cpu usage because i doesnt matter what game i play its low alot of the times

 

[SgtScream]

How many ram sticks do you have and what slots are they installed into?

 

[poncholeotard]

i have two 8gb ram sticks and they are in the correct spots i made sure of it when i installed them

 

[poncholeotard]

one is in slot 2 and the other slot 4

The latest bios version of F11 states improves system performance and stability:

Are you on version F11?

 

[poncholeotard]

[SgtScream]

I'm not convinced you have a problem. But i'm out of ideas. Good luck.
