Question I feel like my pc is underperforming, what to do?

[Mikalfurnes]

I have noticed that I have started to see lower fps in games lately. So I decided to benchmark my PC and here are the results:

I just started playing Valorant for example and saw that requirements for 144fps were a 1050ti and an i5-4460 3.2Ghz. I usually drop under that and it really annoys me. any solutions?

cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?

GPU temp is between 45-49 and CPU is around 45 degrees celcius

What is your GPU/CPU usage while playing?

The results show most everything performing quite well within your system.

My concern in looking is the relatively small amount of free space on your SSD. Perhaps clean that down and trim the drive?

how much free space do you recommend that I should have?

 

[punkncat]

I would get it to and try to maintain around 25% free space. You are hovering at 20% and things can start to get critical around 10%.

What is your GPU/CPU usage while playing?

cpu usage: around 45
gpu usage: around 40

I haven't played Valorant so I can't be sure how demanding it is but I do think your GPU usage should be much higher and more than likely that's your problem. Can you try another game? Preferably something known to be demanding.

The most demanding game i have on hand atm is warzone, and when playing ultra settings the temperatures for the gpu and cpu are around 50-55 on both and the usage is between 65-80 on both. I had around 90fps

The CPU usage is normal. The GPU usage should be hitting 95%+ consistently. Check the power % too and see what it says.

Edit: I will also add that 90fps seems pretty good for a 1070/6700

the power % was around 60-70 in Warzone and between 40-45 in valorant
