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 ?
 
Solution
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.

Yeah the only problem i see is 60% load on the RTX 2080 via 1440p resolutions. This will only happen if you lower graphical detail all the way and is to be expected if that is the case. One PSU cable would be the cause for low gpu load.

I have high setting in rust and ther GPU load is on 60-68% the only time it goes up to 80-90 is when im in the starter menu wich is really wierd.

And now i have 2 cables from GPU to PSU.

Im only playing Battlefield 5 and Rust at the moment.

I don't think Rust is very graphically demanding. I really don't think you have a problem. You did perform a clean install of windows on to a SSD correct?

What do you mean? Did you perform a clean install? If so how did you do it?

I did it via windows

Then i clicked on resett windows. But now when i see closer there is a secound option for a celan install.

Derp im blind.. Should i go for that one instead or via bios if that is possible?

Im sorry im so retarded. Im basicly new in this industry.
 
Hey
Sorry I had to leave class this morning after i said i use 2 cables on my 1070 ti but a friend called he updated his bios and could not get it to boot.

Wow what a difference in your system.
As far as the flare x goes I can only get it to 3200 fast using ryzen dram calculator
You might be able to get more as you are on the new bios and a 3800x now where I am on a 3000 bios running a 2600x

Glad to see the guys got you going good.
