Good Pc Bad framerates

[Michael_435]

To start of these are my specs Amd FX-8350 GTX 970 HyperX ddr3 8gb and a 1tb wd blue drive
roughly costed 1300$ CAD

and in a lot of games i'm getting pretty bad frame rates in h1z1 i get like 45 on ultra low quality and like 60 in gta5 with insane drops down to 20 fps every 10 seconds

i already monitored my CPU temps and they're fine and all of my drivers are up to date i really don't know whats going on i didn't spend 1300 hundred dollars to be playing and awful quality and bad frame-rates

Also i looked up videos of people with my same specs running gta5 and they are getting awesome frame-rates on ultra look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID2pDIrbKQ8


UPDATE*** i dont know if this helps at all but i get 300fps in csgo and like 110 in overwtch

Damn. The VRM's might not be the culprit then.

Have you tried a clean install of Windows yet? This will take some time but it will rule out any software issues.

If you're using Windows 10, simply use the "Reset this P.C" via the start menu search.

ugh :I i have got so many games on my pc it will take forever to reinstall everything and kill my internet bill

Fair enough. Do you know how to stop certain programs from starting with Windows. Could it be possible another application is interfering with your system and causing lag?

You can use MSconfig or the Task manager can do it in later versions of Windows.

yeah i already have it set to launch my basic programs like razer synapse and discord

Yikes. We're running out solutions here. Other possibilities I can think of is the "Xbox app" causing issues...possibly you have a recording feature in the background capturing your gameplay?

I'm really not sure man. I think your frames are somewhat acceptable in H1Z1. I don't feel like the FPS drops are though.

I use a similar setup. An 8350 with a GTX 980. The difference is I'm overclocked to 4.94Ghz. My H1Z1 FPS is 80-120. my GTA V FPS is 60-100. I also have a healthy system with an SSD drive that I reformat every few months.

I wish I could help you out more. Sorry.

.

is there a way i can format just 1 drive?
because i keep all my games on a separate drive

If you're running a boot drive and storage drive, and all of your games and involved directories are on the storage drive, reformatting the boot drive won't affect anything in the other drive. They are, after all, separate entities. If you want to be doubly sure, with the computer powered off, you can just pull out the storage drive with all your games on it to ensure their safety. No need to redownload your entire steam library. You might have to re-verify your steam account though, which should be a several kb email, not hundreds of gigabytes of game files.

The Xbox app issue in windows 10 is pretty bad. Thank god I borked my Windows 10 install so I don't get updates anymore. Even better, I borked it days before the Anniversary update dropped. I still get the occasional security updates, but none of the major things that break the OS. I don't even have an xbox app on my PC. Oh right, Windows Defender can also eat CPU runtime. I uninstalled Defender, which is what borked my OS to begin with. Never run an anti-virus in my life, never gotten malware or viruses. The human brain is the best anti-malware/anti-virus.

If you google for ways to optimize windows 10, you'll chance across people compiling lists of services you can fully disable within the services.msc thing. They usually include CPU/RAM-hungry services like the Xbox app and Superfetch. I'd be wary of the things they edit in the registry though, some of them are kinda fishy.
