I recently built a pc consisting of:
ASUS ROG Poseidon 1080 Ti
AMD Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3.7GHz
ASRock AB350M Pro4
16GB (8x2) 3200MHz 14-14-14-34 RIPJAWS RAM
250GB m.2 Samsung Evo 950 for Windows
2 TB HDD
Corsair AX760 PSU
When benchmarking and doing performance tests, almost everything looked perfect, 3DMark Firestrike score of 21k, Overwatch stable at 144fps 1440p, Witcher 3 stable at 80fps ultra 1440p. However, when I tried playing lower requirement games, such as League of Legends, I can barely maintain 144fps, usually dipping into the low 100's and struggling to stay stable. In CSGO, I get 200-250 fps, which I understand is playable, but I'm worried that something is wrong with my card, as many people with high specs get upwards of 500. Diablo 3 is the same story as League of Legends. Is it possible it's a CPU bottleneck? I also noticed something strange; lowering the resolution/disabling antialiasing has no impact on my fps, it remains the same. My GPU usage during these games stays under 25% at all times. Also, I tested Cinebench R15 and got a pretty low OpenGL score I think, ~100, while 3DMark, Unigine Heaven are both normal in scores. When I cap the fps, it actually goes lower as well in games.
Steps I've taken:
Uninstalled drivers using DDU, reinstalling.
Reinstalling games.
Reinstalled Windows.
Disabled NVidia Shadowplay.
Disabled XBox DVR.
Updating Ryzen chipset drivers.
Updating BIOS.
Setting to high performance mode in Window, also tried the AMD Optimized plan.
Setting NVidia control panel to prefer maximum performance.
Tested with and without V-Sync.
And before anyone says that 100fps is playable, I have a 144hz monitor and the stuttering and constant change is straining my eyes; I am also worried that something is wrong with my system and I've spent countless days contacting manufacturers and troubleshooting. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
