Hey guys, I only just recently bought a new PC after I have had my old one for 6 years and I thought it was time to get a new one due to a variety of problems on my old one. The problem is after getting my new PC custom built, I put my Geforce GTX 1050ti in and installed the drivers and Geforce experience. However I am getting the same if not worse fps then when I was using my old PC, I don't believe its a cooler problem or hardware problem as I have Cam installed and my temps are pretty cool, never seen them go above 40 ish. This problem of "poor performance" I believe is only occurring playing league of legends. I am getting in the low 140's for fps when a game first starts, however after 4 mins or so mins in game, it goes down to 120-100 sometimes hovering at 100, then sometimes dropping to 90.
Here are my system specs:
i5 8600k
ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6 Intel
16gb G.skill Trident Z RGB 3200C
NZXT X52 AIO cooler
Corsair RM650X 650Watt 80Plus Gold Full Modular ATX Power Supply Unit
NZXT H440 Black Case
Geforce GTX 1050TI
Seagate IronWolf NAS 3.5" 2TB
Samsung 860 evo 250gb SSD

So far the only other game I have played on this PC so far is Rust and that is running a lot better then my old PC. I have removed the drivers for the GPU with DDU and reinstalled them, however still getting the same fps. Thank you for any help because I am really anxious if this is a problem with the build/parts or just a program problem.

Yea that 1050ti would still be holding you back, even with that CPU, in all but the most CPU bound of titles. The 1050ti is only about as fast as a GTX 960 4gb, maybe a GTX 770 4gb, for...


For league on my old rig it was running 120fps stable, however I couldnt play games such as rust on higher then 60 on potato and even then was hitting 30 and sometimes even 10-5. However now on this PC I can play rust on a stable 100fps and gunfights on modded servers about 80. I think it could be a driver issue as I seem to remeber the first day I got this pc I installed a nvidia driver for the 1050ti from 2016 and I think I was getting a stable 250. I do remember a time on my old rig where I was hitting those numbers however I think it changed after a Nvidia update. I might try go back to that driver and see if I do get those numbers.
 


Drivers are up to date for GPU, going to check the other parts in a bit
 

Try the driver offered from the graphics card manufacturer's website as opposed to nvidia.

 


They offer a link to the nvidia website drivers and also list the latest nvidia driver

I just played a few games of pubg and got 98%GPU usage/load at 52 degrees on high settings with 60-70 stable fps, is it just that league is not optimized?
