Question My PC is underperforming, and I cannot understand why.

[Bladophazer]

Hi. I have recently upgraded from a GTX 1070 to an RTX 3070ti. My CPU is a Ryzen 7 5800X. I wanted to test out the full potential of the new graphics card I got, trying out all my games to see the performance upgrade. To my surprise, the difference was barely noticable, going from previously 80fps on Battlefield 1 on highest settings to only 90 with the 3070ti, or from 90-100 fps in GTA V to around 120. I knew something was wrong, so I have been spending the last 4 hours searching various forums about this problem and finding out I am not the only one running into such an issue. I have ran benchmarks, in which I found out my CPU was really underperforming, and it makes no sense to me as to why, and even my GPU and RAM are slightly underperforming too. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/46634234 , https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/46631601 . When it came to games, I also realised a problem was that I was running them at 1080p, and that I should probably invest in a 1440p monitor, but is it even worth it if my components are going to run this badly? I look at other people benchmarking with the exact same components as mine, and if it was a 10-20 fps increase they were getting that would be fine with me, but when the difference is at times, with certain games, up to 100 fps better? I really wish someone can advise me on how to fix this issue.

No, an OC will not yield an 80% gain.

It is not saying the gpu is down 80% in performance. Look at the positioning within the distribution graph, it’s the lower end of normal which you would expect for most stock cards compared to overclocked.

Still, if this is the performance standard for stock graphics cards, why is it struggling so hard with games? There must be an issue here, I just cannot understand what it is. And it is for every game I have tried, the performance of the 3070ti compared to my old 1070 is better by 20 fps at most, when it should be at least 100fps higher considering the massive upgrade that the 3070ti is.

Which specific game?

It should not be needed but try uninstalling the gpu driver with DDU Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 18.0.4.3 (guru3d.com)

And then installing the latest driver downloaded from NVidia or GeForce Experience

I figured. So then why am I seeing videos on Youtube of people running the same game as me, with the same CPU but with an RTX 3070, a slower GPU than mine, getting up to 80 fps more at 1080p?

The most people can get % more performance wise out of a GPU via overclocking is around 25% more using liquid nitrogen for coolant. There is obviously something wrong with your system if that is to be believed.

Tell me some FPS numbers you are getting in a few different games please. I can get some reliable performance metrics to compare to your system and not some random youtube video.

Sorry for the late reply. I went and did some game benchmarks, running at highest graphics, to try provide as much info as possible. Pretty much tested out every game I own. Some run better than others. Here are the image links for each game I tested in particular, with the detailed fps info.

Battlefield 1: https://postimg.cc/fJjLdhYH (113fps average)
Battlefield V: https://postimg.cc/bS0z1QSG (86fps average)
Minecraft (Optifine - highest graphics, no shaders): https://postimg.cc/GB9h68VN (196fps average)
GTA V: https://postimg.cc/RqwVrzpM (97fps average)
CSGO: https://postimg.cc/5QW4HPyd (270fps average)
PUBG: https://postimg.cc/PPhfTF01 (139fps average)
Far Cry 5: https://postimg.cc/cgn1LqsB (137fps average)

Your system seems to be underperforming and I do not know why. Maybe @sizzling could harken a guess.
