Question My Cpu and Gpu usage

[NalliPellaa]

So I recently bought a new pre built pc and my framerates were not adding up so I downloaded afterburner and I immediately noticed my cpu and gpu were using only 2 thirds of their power. Usually this wouldn't matter because I usually get 60+ fps but since I like it 144hz this is not the best thing. I have i5 8400 gtx 1070 8gb.

There's not really much else. 86fps isn't that bad but could be more. I'm thinking could be settings based. I know grass on ultra kills any graphics card but so can antialiasing if set too high. Try no antialiasing and see if that increases frame rates and then work up from there if image quality isn't to your liking. Also play around with view distance.

I have almost same fps with normal and very high. I don't think my fps is low because the game is heavy but because it's trying to stay at 60fps+ with minimal effort.

Might want to check all cpu cores in afterburner and see what the load is across all cores. Should have 6 threads plus cpu's total usage.

Should look like

cpu1 usage
cpu2 usage
cpu3 usage
on to cpu6 usage
then cpu (without a number) is combined usage.

Make sure all are checked.

I'm not sure why there are two % readouts of gpu though.

Being HP, wouldn't be surprised there's a lot of bloat ware installed. Think about reinstalling Win10 to get rid of that crap. There's a tutorial in the Win10 thread if want to check it out. It's easy to do, just create a usb Win 10 installer and off you go.

Fair enough if you're not confident building your own system or have the time but I do dislike oem builds, the bloatware, cheap components and proprietary configurations annoys me. That's not your fault.

You do need another 8gb ram mind you, don't forget about that.

You guessed it. I think it was a decent pc for 800€. The other percentage for BUS usage. Dont know why it was enabled and its not anymore. Tested it and all the cores are running equally.

thats gonna be like 50€ for one stick. It's also gonna be hard for me to install since I have to remove my hdd

Hmm ok that's up to you but not having dual channel bandwidth plus the capacity is hurting.

If were to go through that effort i should let you know mixing ram might or might not work if buy singular. Ram bought together in kits be it eights, fours or pairs are tested.
