[SOLVED] i7-8700 (no k) is bottlenecking a 2080 (no ti)?

[ericmoreno0869]

I have a lot of fps drops and 55-80 unestable framerate. I play in 2k. I dont know whats happening but bottleneck is probably the problem?

Specs:
i7 8700
RTX 2080
16GB DDR4 Ram
650w psu

What is the cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
make and model of the psu?

Which game are you playing, and are you running dual channel RAM? If you have only a single 16GB stick, then you may be hitting memory bandwidth limitations. There are also some insanely CPU heavy games eg. AC: Odyssey where even with an i7 8700 you may see some dips below 60FPS, in that game I barely stay above 60FPS in some of the city areas and that's with an 8700k overclocked to 4.9GHz.

the cpu temp are normal arround 70ºC. The usage is fluctuating 80%
The model of the psu is Urano VX series

I have tried a lot of games, Watch dogs 2, Monster hunter World... always the same problem. Yes I use 2 sticks of 8gb so...

I wouldn't trust that PSU in jonnyguru forum people say is over rated and probably doesnt even deliver a true 500w combined i think you´re being power throtled by the Nox psu. If yoy can get hand on another PSU to run some test that would be great.

Yeah, I agree with Rakanyshu, ditch that PSU. Get a quality PSU from EVGA, Corsair, or Seasonic.
