is my pc bottlenecking me?

[Frankbottle]

Hello people of tomshardware!


I recently bought a new computer for gaming, at first everything went mighty fine while gaming. but recently my fps has dropped alot. like in fallout 4 i was normally at 55 fps but now i am at 20 fps with the same settings, even the sound is getting laggy. similar with others games like dota, The witcher ......

So my question is : is my computer bottlenecking me somehow?

btw all the temps on every hardware are below the standard and everything is updated

Have you monitored cpu & gpu temps? If so what are they? Have you updated your gpu driver lately?

Yes i have.
Temp for cpu is around 50°c when gaming - When idle its 20ish
Temp for gpu is around 65°c when gaming also - when idle its 40ish
and all drivers are up to date, they was a new driver for the gpu 1-2 weeks back as i can remember. maybe that is the problem?

Hmm try uninstalling your current driver and reinstalling your prior one. Could be a driver problem.

I will give it a try. i had a low fps performance with an even older driver (catalysme beta driver)

But thanks i will give it a go

Ive tryed reinstall my gpu driver and it did not help :/ still having very low fps and crackle sound after a few sec. but i noticed that my ssdh is on 100% load no matter what, even when all programs are closed.

Any advice?

i have also done a 3dmark to test the gpu, but average fps is 45 and temp is 65. to me that seems fine

Ive solved the problem.

The problem was the 2 latest drivers for amd radeon r9 390, i took an even older drivers 15.11 beta and now everything is running smooth again!

Thanks for help n advice!
