LOW FPS 30-40 fps in most games with a GTX 1050ti

[zombiezapper4102]

my specs are
i7 960 @ 3.20GHz
1050ti
12GB of ddr3 ram
screen resolution is 1680x1050

-Ensure monitor is connected to the right graphic card = 1050ti video port.
- Windows power plan: high performance-
-1050ti at 100% power in MSI afterburner settings.
- Control / increase GPU fan speed with MSI afterburner to maintain good temps while gaming to avoid thermo throttling.
- HWMONITOR screen captures. temperatures, clocks and fans' speeds and usage GPU/CPU + motherboards temps: in idle and under load

so i found out that its running around 73c in game and i increase fan speed and makes no change do i need new fans?

73 is great in-game temp
Can you download/install HWMONITOR and take a screenshot of it (all window if possible) showing : GPU?CPU clocks, temps, usage and fans' speeds, and motherboards temps, fans and voltages ( basically ALL you can get !)
Do a capture in idle then while gaming, thanks in advance.
Check usual card performance for your game titles (FPS)

What games are you playing and what settings? I believe your i7 is starting to show its age, if high settings then that seems about right on a 1050ti

what game are you trying to run?
In general, if you can oc the cpu, you can probably squeeze a bit more performance from the cpu.

here is some quick guide:

goodluck.

Might just be how that system is going to perform. The GTX 1050TI is an OK GPU, but it's only rated at "good" for UHD/1080p (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gpus,4380.html), & it's technically a 6th-tier GPU, 2 steps down from the GTX 1060 (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html). So its 1080p performance is going to be 'good but not the best', & on some games (especially newer ones) it will struggle.

And the CPU is also in the "OK" category. It's a Nehalem/1st-gen Core i7, & it's not only tiered with AMD's old 6-core Phenom IIs but it's tiered below even a Sandy Bridge/2nd-gen Core i5 (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html). It's not only older than other Core i7 chips, it's also a little slower. So the 2 combined might be causing this.

so i got in game with the temp at 50 it was running 60-80 fps then the temp went up to 70 and it dropped to 30-40. and idk how to put a screen shot in this reply thing lol

im trying to play Rainbow Six Siege, Rust, Ark, Conan and im starting to think i just need to upgrade some parts and the fps doesnt change regardless of the settings

 

[zombiezapper4102]

i found out that there was plastic in one of the fans keeping it from spinning and im getting better fps now lol idk how that got there

 

[R0GG]

What fan was it on ? great you discovered it on time.

Ouch. Glad you found it, & luckily nothing burned out in the meantime.
