[SOLVED] Do i have to buy another CPU or a GPU? (Low GPU% in games)

[kng8te]

Ok, i made a thread about my pc getting low fps in rust but i got no good explanation so i will try one more time with more detailed information, i just cant let it go..


I have a 2080 RTX OC with a

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
32 gb of RAM
750W PSU
ASUS ROG Strix B450-F GAMING, Socket-AM4 motherboard.
Screen :
Asus 27" MG278Q
2560x1440, 144hz, 1ms, FreeSync, 2xHDMI/DP,



My friends have 1070/1080 cards with Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor and they get 100+ fps, while im stuck at 75. With the same settings and resulotion.

The fps wont change if i change the settings.
My GPU usage is only at 25%-38% and CPU around 35% and its killing me, i bought the computer just for better fps in Rust because its the game i play the most. I had the same fps with my older laptop with 4k screen with a 1070 card..

The GPU usaged would go up to around 66% with all setttings on high.. but then my fps goes down lower, 60-65 fps

Tried all types of resulotions.
Gsync is off
Vsync is off
Powermode is set high

Ive done everything people have told me and i cant get more fps, i know rust isnt optmized but cm on.. 75 fps?

And in Battlefield V

GPU% is 66%
CPU% around 70-75%

And im at 80-90 fps


Should i go for 2080TI ? And go back to Intel i7 or i9 ?

Do you have one daisy chained power supply cable going to the RTX? You need two dedicated PSU cables to effectively power high end cards.

There is no change in the FPS when i change the resolution.

Why is that?

That's the problem. You're only using one cable. Use two of those. Your graphics card lacks adequate power.

So wehere exactly am i going to plug in the 2n cable?

Its only those 2 slots and they are occupied.

Unplug the daisy chained one. You need TWO cables going from the PSU to the GPU.

I run 2 on my 1070 ti

I run 2 on my 1070 ti

Can you link me the cables i need to get?
Or can i use that cable on the picture and plug the other end out?
Im really thought the company where i baught it from would now better. They sent som cables but i dont know if it is a powercable.

The cables i got looked like this

Just unplug the daisychained cable and use another one of those cables so you have two cables going from the power supply to the graphics card.

 

[SgtScream]

Just use two of those cables, just don't use the daisy chained (extra) connection.

 

[SgtScream]

Use the PC-E cable along with the one already being used. You will have extra plugs haning off but they are unecessary. Just use the main plug for each cable.

Plugged in extra cable now and maybe it will work. It started so thats a good start .

Ok good two power supply cables now go from your psu to the gpu correct?

Yes they do but there was no fps change.

 

[SgtScream]

Yes they do but there was no fps change.

Does the cpu psu cable connect to the psu port labled cpu and did you configure your power settings to HIgh Performance in windows control panel? Also you mentioned your friends FPS, are they running the same resolution monitor you are? You have 1440p, but if they run 1080p THAT would make a huge difference in performance.

I will try and put the resolution at 1080p 1920x1080 and se if it makes a difference.

There's no way i'm going to read through seven pages of this thread so anyone correct me if this has already been done. The next step is to confirm your friends hardware specifications including the resolution and refresh rate of his/her monitor.

he is running at 1920x1080 res
And here is his spec
https://sharkgaming.se/shark-gaming-esport-edition

And he is running the game with 120+

And when i changed to 1920x1080 it made 0 difference.

My screen came with 2560 x 1440 at normal (Harwarde adapted)

And i cant change to 2560x 1080 i get thos black areas at the sides of the screen

That's why your FPS is lower! You are comparing apples to oranges. I don't think you have a problem and you aren't going to get an increase in fps due to cpu limitation from lowering the resolution. What fps do you currently get at 1440p?

Can you exlpain more in detail?

Why wouldnt it be a difference when i put my resolution at the same as his?

 

[SgtScream]

He's using an i9 9700k which is going to out perform your 2700x by a significant margin in gaming. YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM.

I just upgraded to a Ryzen 7 3800x as i said 1 or 2 pages back.

And here is another example.

Same processor with a 2060 card. Performing alot better then me. yes it at 1080 but when i put on the same resoluton it doesnt make a difference.

I just need some closure to this.

 

[SgtScream]

As gaming demands increase your system will start to do better due to superior multicore performance and especially playing higher res 1440p resoltions via the RTX 2080. Right now he's winning up front because the i9 9700k has superior single core performance that give's you higher up front FPS. I guarantee your system will have a smoother gaming experience with better 1% lows in fps.

 

[SgtScream]

This still applies to the 3800x because the aside form the i9 9900k, the i9 9700k is gaming king.
