My gaming performance

[dudeidk1999]

I used to play Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six:SIege at 70FPS+ with ease with my old monitor (1280x1024@75hz). After getting the new one (1920x1080@60hz) my performance got really poor.

My specs are


Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz

Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

RAM 16 GB (2x 8GB) (8GB DDR4 HYPERX 2400mhz + 8GB DDR4 AARVEX 2400mhz)

Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 (build 17134), 64-bit


I used to play the game at very high settings with 8GB of RAM but now even after getting another RAM [strike][/strike]I play at medium or lower sometimes to get 60-70fps and yet it drops to 40 occasionally. I've watched few benchmarking videos with same specs as mine running Siege at 90FPS at 1920x1080.

What do you think is the issue?

Better graphics card is required to maintain same performance/quality settings with increased resolution.
Consider upgrade to GTX 1060 (may be even GTX 1070).

Thanks for your answer but people with the same GPU had better fps.

What *exact* benchmarking videos? There are lots of videos where people show off high FPS by turning down options that you'd have to scroll down to see; Youtube videos should be taken with an extreme gain of salt unless the source is absolutely spotless.

Either upgrade hardware or reduce graphics quality settings.

You could try diagnosing game performance on your pc with MSI afterburner. Run the game and make a screenshot from MSI afterburner hardware monitoring window. Graphs should be visible: FPS, cpu usage/temperature, gpu usage/temperature, memory usage, ram usage, pagefile usage.

Spoiler

It looks similar to this:

I see, thanks for your answer. I am planning to buy a 1060 soon, can I pair it up with a 1050 ti or is it not possible.

Pairing 1060 and 1050 ti together would be pointless (unless you use them to connect additional monitors).
Such setup would not improve gaming performance, but would increase power consumption. Your power supply may not even be able to support 2 cards.
