Question Low Performance PC build

[swigon96]

Hello guys,
Recently I have created set up for my new computer. My goal was to play smoothly most new games on 2k (Elden ring, RDR2, etc)
These are my components:

Intel core i5 12600 KF (OC to 4.9 MHz
RTX 3070 TI OC Gigabyte version (Overclocked in Msi burner)
16 GB ram DDR 4 3600 MHz
Motherboard: MSI Pro Z690- A DDR4

Unfortunately, this set did not meet my expectation due to fact that I am having small drops of FPS in most not really demanding games (DS3, Mortal Kombat 11). Drops are like 10% FPS down.
Here is a link to my user benchmark: MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 Performance Results - UserBenchmark
Is there something wrong with this? Or my GPU & CPU is not good enough?

I have checked the temperature and seems to not overheating. I am using WIN11 however same results happened on WIN10.

Really appreciate your help,
Thanks

brand and model of the psu?

brand and model of the PSU?

I've just upgraded it because I was thinking that could be the reason.

PSU: Straight Power 11 850W (BN284)

High background usage and also being throttled. Was this new build accompanied with a new install of Windows? Are you on latest BIOS? What about chupset drivers?

Restart the PC and run test again.

Yes, the new build was accompanied by fresh windows. I have just restarted the PC and did a test. High background usage is done ( i got chrome opened last time) but still CPU is getting throttled.
It is weird due to the fact that when I am checking the usage while I was having lags in Elden Ring:

GPU: 58 Celsius, 96 % usage 2055 MHz
CPI: 54 Celsius 22 % usage

Check your Windows Power Plan. Make sure it's set to 100%. Are you on latest BIOS for motherboard?

It is all set to high efficiency 100%. I have upgraded BIOS to the newest version when installing windows

What about chipset driver?

 

[swigon96]

Intel® Driver and Support Assistant shows that all drivers are up to date.

Thanks!

got both 2x8pin for the cpu power?

got both 2x8pin for the cpu power?

This was the reason why I bought a new PSU, to connect 2 x 8 pins for the CPU. I've tried a lot of things and its hard to believe for me that elden ring cannot run 60 fps all the time with rtx 3070 ti

Thanks

cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
using just 1 monitor? steaming the game?
what the fps exactly?

Hello,

These are my temps/usage during game:

I am using only 1 monitor, no streaming,

Thanks,

 

[rgd1101]

what the monitor? resolution?
turn off RT? using DLSS?

 

[swigon96]

what the monitor? resolution?
turn off RT? using DLSS?

Hi sir, it is AOC Q3279VWF

It is a cheap 2K monitor with no really additional functions. Regarding RT and DLSS? I did not see there is even an option for that in the games that I've played.

Thanks,
Jakub

MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 Performance Results - UserBenchmark

Thanks for your help!

Just to work with UBM a little.
Download UBM.
Reboot and wait a few mins then run UBM with the browser closed.
Post a link to the results.

The only thing showing there is cpu throttling.
Turn off the cpu overclocking and test again with UBM.
Post a link.

I'm just guessing... I would think that has something to do with heat or power.

If you have set up the windows power plan proper perhaps turn off the gpu overclocking and run UBM.

Perhaps run hwinfo and see what the cpu is doing...heat and power wise when running UBM.

I've made throttle and stress tests on AIDA64, all looked fine with thermal on GPU/CPU.
