Ladies and Gents,
I have searched on and off for a few weeks now and can't quite seem to find an explanation that applied directly to the issues I'm having (not to say this thread doesn't exist) so I figured I would finally just make an account and ask.
I have been noticing significantly inconsistent performance while gaming over the past handful of months and have tried everything I can think of, and have hit a limit to my knowledge about how things work. An example of my issue, that sums up what I have been dealing with is, about 4 days ago I was playing Sea of Thieves with my brother and I was getting (what I would expect is) nominal performance for the set up I have (see below) which is about 45ish FPS at middle of the road settings. However, when I logged in today to play I cannot get above 10 FPS without turning the settings down to rock bottom. Of note here, when I go into the graphics settings within the game, and set the graphics profile to "Suggested Settings" it sets them to the medium settings that I got that 45FPS on. I'm guessing this setting generally looks at what hardware is available and sets the options accordingly, however today when using that, I was only getting 8 FPS.
I have GPU-Z installed and have monitored it while playing games and have noticed that, regardless of what game I play, my GPU Usage is maxed out, but my clock speed hovers around the 830-850 MHz range, when my stock clock speed is 1354 MHz. Even if I try overclocking a bit to compensate it does not increase the clock speed it is running at. The GPU temp while all this is happening never crosses 50 and generally hovers around 47. My CPU temps hang out around 70 degrees, with both my RAM and my GPU dedicated memory only using about half of what is there. On GPU-Z, the only thing that is maxed out is my GPU usage, and in the performance tab of the Task Manager, the only thing maxed out is the 3D part of my GPU
I guess a question that pops into my head is, if the GPU Usage is maxed out (which means all the shaders are in use, correct?) my clock speed gets capped? But more importantly, how do I get the usage of my GPU to line up more with the max clock speed so I can consistently get decent performance in games?
Components:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
GPU BIOS Version: 86.07.3C.00.31
GPU Memory: GDDR5 - 4GBs
GPU Driver: 26.21.14.3615 (NVIDIA 463.15), Aug 24, 2019
System Ram: 16 GB @ 2400 MHz
CPU: i7-7700 @ 2.8Ghz
P.S. I'm sure there's other data needed to get a better idea of the issue. Let me know what would be helpful and I can get it. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
