Hello,
I have been trying to resolve my issue with my current gaming setup. Within the last month, I upgraded my processor from an i5-3470 to an i7-3770 within my Dell Optiplex 7010 Mini Tower. Here are my specs to start:
i7-3770 3.4GHz
16GB 1666MHz DDR3 RAM
EVGA GTX 970 4GB GPU
240GB SSD
750W Power Supply
So the issue... Whenever I play Fortnite, I can barely stay above 130FPS average consistently at 1080P with everything on Low settings wise. I have a Sceptre E255B 1080p 165Hz monitor, and would like to atleast get 144Hz, but my game just runs like crap unless I cap at 120FPS. My CPU usage is at 100%, even whenever all of the settings are on low (unless I cap my game at 120FPS, then it's around 80-90 usage in game) My GPU usage is fine while playing. I did run a bench mark test on userbenchmark, and my GPU shows up horribly but my CPU comes up fine, but in game, it's the complete opposite. Can anyone give some insight on why? I have watched others play Fortnite with my same setup, and none seem to have CPU usage as high as I do.
I have all of the latest drivers, tried re-installing windows and Fortnite, updates my BIOS, turned windows power settings to performance, etc, etc, etc.
Please help! Thanks so much.
