Hello community,
So I will try to make my story short, but I doubt that is possible.
I decided to start streaming and noticed that my, at that time, rig was not capable of giving me the experience I wanted.
Here was my previous build:
MB - Asus B150 PRO GAMING/AURA
CPU - Intel Core i5-7400, Quad Core, 3.00GHz, 6MB, LGA1151, 14nm, 65W, VGA, BOX
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 OC, 3GB GDDR5 (192 Bit), HDMI, 2xDVI, DP
PSU - SilverStone SST-ST50F-PB 100% modular, 500W, 80P LUS Bronze, 120mm FAN
RAM - 2x Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB 2133MHz DDR4 CL14 DIMM 1.2V, Black Series
And without streaming I had only around 60-80 frames on PUBG with very low settings, also around 160 frames on CS GO.
So i started to upgrade my gear slowly to increase the performance.
First I upgraded my RAM sticks to the same brand but 2x 8gb 2400MHz because my memory usage was at 90% at the time so now it stays around 60% of used memory.
There was no more bottlenecking on the memory so i found my game having less stutters and that was great and all. I didn’t stop there so I decided to upgrade my CPU.
I bought the intel i7-7700K 4.2GHz and there was an additional 20-30fps increase. With OBS streamlabs i was runing my PUBG at around 70-90 frames.
Not enough for the passionate gamer so I decided to upgrade my GPU to gtx 1080 ti from Gigabyte 11gb.
So then i was finaly pleased streaming games with 120 frames and everything was very smooth, but still i was curious why on very low settings I only manage to get 120 frames?
I checked that my temperatures were skyrocketing for my CPU as it was 90-100 degrees and i knew I had to get a new aftermarket cooler. So i upgraded my stock cooler that i had from my i5-7400 to a brand new Noctua, NH-D14 CPU Cooler. So i installed it and cleaned all my other parts and did a nice cable management. Also installed two exta coolers for my case Noctua, NF-S12A PWM 120mm fan; and Noctua, NF-P12-PWM 120mm fan.
So i have everything set and i turn my pc on and everything looks good, so I start my PUBG and open my OBS and BAM i get 40-60 frames...
My temperatures are good 50-75 on CPU, 60-70 on GPU. And from here I can’t find any solutions.
I have resocketed all of my components twice, i have ran all malware scans, i have updated my drivers but nothing.
I saw some suggestions that my PSU was too weak for this settup and that 500w is not enough.
And I said f*** it and upgraded to a Corsair, 750W, TX750M, 80+ Gold, Modular.
But still nothing guys, after all of this i just decided to reinstall my pc and try it then, so i did that, again got all the drivers/windows updates but everyhing is the same guys...
I have no freaking clue of why am I having this issue at the moment. Please don’t say that I have to upgrade my MB because before the CPU cooler it was all runing good at 120 frames.
So this is my story that is still unsolved. And overall I believe that my frames should be even higher than that (120).
I am thankful for all the ideas and recomendations but so far nothing has worked for me.
So I will try to make my story short, but I doubt that is possible.
