GTX 970 way under expectations

[marki9]

Hey guys so i had open conversation about a week ago about my pc not runing games well..They told me to do user benchmark at the end my gtx 970 was preforming way under expectations ,what could cause that problem? any comments would be nice to read

Here is firestrike test:

User benchmark :http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/3171230

cpu and memory (dimm )specs?

 

[marki9]

I updated my user bechmark i am runing whit

i5 4690k @3.5 (stock cooler)
Palit GTX 970 (1 active fan cooler)
16GB RAM @1600
2TB HDD
/ SSD
psu: : 450 W, LC-Power LC600-12 V2.31 80 Plus Bronze, ErP 2013, 12 cm ventilator
case:TX Midi-Tower LC-Power PRO-925B

but during your gpu benchmarks you did not suffer any crash to desktop or computer freezes or bsods?
what is your motherboard?
I'm thinking if you don't suffer any of the above then you should be running your 970 as good as it's gonna get

 

[marki9]

I didn't suffer any crash or freeze while test i am running whit Asrock Z97 Anniversary.

Also why am i asking becouse its a bit f* up i see all those videos on youtube how guys whit same system run that game on like 60 fps whit settings maxed out and still getting 60 fps i had to turn down lot of settings to have it 60fps constant..

 

[Darthutos]

did those guys mention their monitors? like if their monitor is at 720p or something. and your monitor is better than theirs.

you can try buying new cpu cooler (like a coolermaster 212 evo or something like that) and new power supply from seasonic or evga g2? your psu is due to upgrade anyway. but those I don't think it will help your gaming fps per se because you don't suffer crashes.

by 2TB
/SSD

do you mean a hybrid harddrive or 2TB hdd and a separate ssd?

 

[marki9]

No i dont have SSD / ment i dont have it i have only 2 TB HDD and yes they were playing on 1080p so do I

 

[marki9]

Do you think My mobo could handle if i'd oc My CPU to 4.0 or something?
Btw do you recomend me any budget case psu and cooler maybe SSD aswell for maybe less then 300€?

 

[Ascorbate]

Nvidia suggest 500w psu.

[mcnumpty23]

that looks like a cheap not very good psu to me?

would be my first suspect

 

[MaDDD]

I would second that it could be the PSU, may as well re-install the drivers for the GPU (Make sure to tick 'clean install' if you do). May help, may not. But it would be worth upgrading the PSU nonetheless.

EDIT: GPU temps would also be a good idea to post, it could be overheating and throttling for all we know.

 

[marki9]

Like i Said try to find decent psu decent case and maybe SSD for CPU cooler in going whit 212 evo

coolermaster 200r case
850evo samsung ssd 120gb (you still use your old hdd, boot from ssd and storage hdd)
seasonic 650w gold modular psu

all for 250 usd

Sounds well ill update you whit temps tommorow after work in already off pc

 

[marki9]

@MaDDD what is best software to measure gpu temps in mid of game for example or some sort of a test how do you recomend me do it?

 

[mcnumpty23]

you can use gpuz and just tell it to log to a text file

 

[marki9]

OK i told it to log it in a file how long should i run it for?

 

[mcnumpty23]

then once you tested it you just open the text file and see

 

[mcnumpty23]

run it for a little while until you think the gpu heated up

few minutes of gaming or benchmarks should be plenty

 

[mcnumpty23]

it will be a pretty long text file just focus on the temperature column and scroll down

 

[marki9]

OK I ve ran GTA V benchmark i got temps but there is lot of them shall i copy them all in ?

 

[mcnumpty23]

OK I ve ran GTA V benchmark i got temps but there is lot of them shall i copy them all in ?

no just scroll the text document till you spot the highest temps

 

[marki9]

The highest temps were 80 celsius and most of them were between 60-70

 

[mcnumpty23]

yeah thats ok

80c a little hot but still not terrible

what games are you actually having problems in?

and at what settings?

 

[MaDDD]

Did the log state the clock speeds of the GPU, around 80c'ish is the target temp for the GPU. So it will boost clock speeds until it reaches that temp then start to throttle the boost speeds back to maintain that temp.
