I've upgraded my build with new GPU, PSU and Monitor.
The build is:
Ryzen 5 5600X
MSI MAG B550M Mortar WiFi
32Gig of Kingston Fury @ 3600MHz
be quiet! Straight Power 12 850W
ASUS TUF (not OC) 4070 Ti Super
WD Black SN770 for system and couple of old WD Greens connected into Raid0
Sound Blaster Z
And added Coolermaster Tempest GP27Q to pair with my Gigabyte M27Q
Now, due to limited time I've only been testing the upgraded build in Cyberpunk as it's main game I'm playing right now and it has a nice benchmark tool. And there's something odd going on with the performance.
Before I had MSI 4070 Gaming Trio, so we can argue kind of poor upgrade but whatever.
On old card I was scoring 108-109 average fps and 80-90 lows. On new RTX I'm scoring 135 average, but lows are \~65. All graphics settings stayed the same. And when I'm running the benchmark I can see that FPS counter is constantly dancing between two and three digits and there's occasional tear.
There's also something odd going on with this Coolermaster screen, because sometimes when I run the benchmark in HDR I'm getting like \~15 fps less on average. I did read that this screen is buggy so thought maybe it's giving me this odd behaviour, so I switched it off and ran the benchmark on my Gigabyte screen in SDR but the lows are still the same.
Anyway, the card is set to performance mode with physical switch. I also thought that these lows might be cause by card being tuned down, so I've downloaded GPU Tweak III, and set it to OC Mode. And to my surprise in this OC mode I was getting \~90 avg fps and 60 lows, which is worse than my non Ti non Super 4070 ?! WTH
I'm completely puzzled now. I've upgraded my BIOS and chipset drivers to newest. I've did DDU on the drivers as I haven't uninstalled them before installing the card and just did a clean install. The card is connected by new 12VHPWR cable, so I checked if everything is fully inserted, which it was. If the Coolermaster screen is causing the issue I don't know as there's something odd going on there, but when I switched it off and ran one screen it was the same.
I've ran Furmark for about half an hour and haven't noticed anything strange. The GPU doesn't seem to be fully utilised in games, but I suppose CPU might be bottleneck ING the card.
I honestly ran out of ideas other then sending the ASUS card back... Could the fact that I'm running AM4 and PCIe 4 be causing the lows dip?
I would appreciate any ideas as to what's going on. Thanks.
