Question My PC is underpreforming, and it's driving me crazy.

[davidka_hun]

So, i bought an RTX 3060 in August, and i started to notice that the performance of the pc is not as good as i toght. For example i have about 45-76 FPS At Fortnite, i can't play GTA V, BF V, Warzone and games like these. Before the 3060 i had a 750ti

Here are my specs:

CPU: i5 10400f (stock cooler)
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3060 Eagle OC 12gb
Motherboard: AsRock H470 Phantom Gaming 4
RAM: Hyperx DDR4 16gb 3600mhz (single channel)
PSU: I have a 750w chieftec power supply (I cant remember the exact name of it sorry)

I tried so many fps boost guides, benchmarked everything i can, ran a memory diagnostic, tried DDU once, and i tried almost everything.
Keep in mind that i'm using V-Sync because i have a 1650 - 1050 Monitor as my main and i have screen tearing, but when i turn off the V-Sync it's still bad.
I don't know what's wrong with my pc i think of some driver, or system issue at least i hope.

Thank you for your time and effort to help me (It means a lot because i'm 16 years old and i don't have enough money to give it to experts.)

even if it makes your games look rubbish i would start by turning down all settings to minimum or off , next turn things up bit by bit to see what happens.
It is suprising how how much you can turn down some settings without noticing any difference

cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
how full is the ssd?
malware scan the system?
latest motherboard bios?

The temp seems fine on both of them.
I have 50gb on the ssd so its not full.
I don't have any malware i actually checked that one.
But the bios, i haven't actually updated it.

I tried these a couple of times but it seems like it doesn't helps.

To clarify, you have one stick of 16GB RAM? If so this is your biggest performance issue. Alawys use two sticks of matched RAM for best results.

Yes i have 1 stick of RAM, i wan't to change it but i don't think it would generate a problem like this.

 

[rgd1101]

50gb free out of ?

 

[davidka_hun]

I have a 250gb SSD, and a 500gb HDD.

Yes it does, and you have no ideea how much of a performance penalty it can give.

 

[davidka_hun]

So you think it's the problem of my pc right?
And if you say so how many gb of ram should i buy?

 

[Avro Arrow]

There's no way in hell that an RTX 3060 should be unable to play GTA V so there's definitely something wrong.

I would recommend running DDU and then re-installing the nVidia driver. If that doesn't work, then it's probably hardware problem with the card itself and I would recommend contacting Gigabyte about getting a warranty replacement.

You can download DDU >HERE<.

 

[davidka_hun]

I actually have DDU, but how im supposed to do it?

 

[Zerk2012]

The temp seems fine on both of them

What are the temps and how did you check them?

Can you run userbenchmark test and post link to results here?

BTW - what's that?

i have a 1650 - 1050 Monitor

Can you list model name of your monitor?

 

[davidka_hun]

What are the temps and how did you check them?

While playing Battlefront 2 with ULTRA graphics the AVG GPU tenp is 48 celsius, and on the CPU its 47 celsius i monitored them on HWInfo

So here's my benchmark result: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/60037912
And my monitor is a Dell 22 P2210

Your SSD performance is terrible. It's slower than a modern mechanical HDD.
And your HDD is extremely old. ~12 years old? or something like that.

I'd suggest upgrading to a better SSD and
upgrading ram to dual channel config (2x8GB or 2x16GB).

 

[davidka_hun]

You have any SSD or RAM suggestions for about 50USD or sum?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Crucial MX500 250GB ~$35
DDR4 3200mhz 2x8GB kit ~ $40 - lot of options - Crucial,G-Skill, Team Group, Patriot, Kingston.

 

[XxDarkMario20xX]

I would also save up and get good gaming monitor with your specs because Dell 22 P2210 kinda looks like an office monitor

 

[DSzymborski]

And when building this PC, did you install a full, fresh copy of Windows?

And when building this PC, did you install a full, fresh copy of Windows?

Yes, the first thing i done was installing windows 11

 

[PEnns]

Please don't go for another 250 GB drive. 500 and up is best for your Windows / system and games

just buy two sticks of 8gb RAM 2x8
