Hello everyone.
I checked similar threads but because other users experiencing a similar problem had different (mostly lower end) cpu's in other threads, I've decided to open a new one. Hopefully someone can help me (or at least tell me that I am not actually having an issue).
I have recently put together a new PC but so far I have the feeling that I am not getting my money's worth for some reason.
GTX 1080Ti - MSI Gaming Trio X
I7 9700K (I am not oc'ing at the moment)
Asus Prime z390A
2 x 8GB 3000 Mhz ram (XMP II so they do work at 3000 Mhz) (Corsair Vengeance I think)
Corsair RM750i PSU - Connecting 2 seperate power cables to the gpu (instead of 1 cable with 2 ends)
I know I need to change it but I have a 25" Samsung monitor (60 hz)
I am monitoring cpu & gpu temperatures and they seem normal. The maximum I have seen is 70 degrees for gpu and less than that for cpu.
I am also running the games on a Samsung SSD.
I haven't played a lot of games but I don't think I am getting the fps rate I should be getting with this set up. Correct me if I am wrong but since my monitor is 60hz. I cannot get above 60fps (I am using msi afterburner - steam fps counter to monitor it) but I should be getting a steady 60fps for most games right?
Xcom 2: This is where my fps rate suffers the most. I mean the minimum requirements for this game is pretty low. Although game play is overall very smooth and my fps is 60, at the beginning of missions (the cut scene where they rope down the ship) and sometimes during game play my fps goes down to 20's or 30's for up to 10 - 15 seconds (I've got nothing running in the background). It is almost as if I was using an HDD and copying a big file while playing. Or there was an explosion and so much is happening in the screen and your cpu or ram can't handle it) Now this doesn't happen all the time, but shouldn't it happen at all? Seeing when this game was released and looking at the requirements, shouldn't I be getting a steady 60 fps with this set up?
Hitman 2: When I do the game's own benchmark, my highest fps is around 140. Average is 48ish. And lowest fps is around 9. During benchmark, the video plays smoothly and I don't see any stuttering so I don't know where that minimum 9 fps is coming from. During game play, I usually get a fixed 60 fps but at times it goes down to 40's and you can tell that the game is... well not running very smoothly when it goes down. Just like it happens when I am playing xcom 2.
Pro Evolution Soccer: This is the only game where I get a steady 60 fps. But then again, I was getting a steady 60 fps with my previous pc on this game (i7 4790k - gtx 1060).
Has anyone had a similar problem? Or is this even a problem and are these frame rates to be expected?
