[SOLVED] New computer underperforming (specs below)

[zaptized24]

I upgraded from a GTX 1070 and a i7 6700 to a 3070 and a i9 9900k and i'm not getting the FPS i'm supposed to, every benchmark video I watch they're getting way more FPS. Fortnite on all low settings a couple people were getting 200-300 FPS and im barely breaking 180 and my game stutters, also on all low settings playing cold war my fps is only 120-130 while others with my exact setup are getting 200+, same exact thing with GTA V when I run the benchmark im getting 80-100 FPS on normal settings. anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong?

MOBO: Asus Prime z390-a
CPU: Intel i9 9900k at 3.6 ghz
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3070 aorus master
PSU: Gigabyte p750gm
SSD: Western Digital m.2 ssd

Did you reinstall Windows after changing the motherboard?

No but before I bought my graphics card my fps went up alone just from my i9

Start with reinstalling Windows. This is highly recommended when you change motherboard.

why would I have to reinstall it if its on my ssd already? do you always have to do it no matter what

Not all the time, but after a drastic change such as a motherboard change.

Because you are coming from a relatively recent Intel motherboard you do NOT need to reinstall Windows 10. It is a good idea to reinstall if you have a bunch of garbage on your computer or a virus. If you went from an Intel motherboard to AMD or vice versa then you would need to reinstall Windows 10.

We do not know if the "other" people used an overclocked video card. You could overclock your card a little, if you know how, however most people only get a mild boost. Make certain that you remove the old video driver with Display Driver Uninstaller [google it to find where to download it]. Use DDU in Windows Safe Mode, you can google how to enter Windows Safe Mode, start by holding down the SHIFT key then click on Restart, both at the same time. There are a couple of hoops you have to jump through after that with Windows 10, just google how to do it, YouTube would be a great place to search for a video how to. Note that some people are getting better results with an older driver, try the latest one first, from Nvidia.

You changed from an intel with X motherboard and X motherboard drivers and X motherboard chipsets and X registry addressing to an AMD cpu with Y motherboard, Y motherboard drivers, Y motherboard chipsets and Y registry addressing.

On the surface that should be fine X and Y are totally different, but it's not in reality. What you get is a Windows registry that's constantly searching for Intel, X drivers, X chipsets etc and when it finds a Y driver that got written to an X address, you have a conflict of interest.

It's like trying to put a Ford Mustang motor in a Chevy Camero. The tranny will not bolt up, the computer will be different, motor mounts different, timings off etc.

You'll need to reinstall Windows, that wipes out the old X registry, old X addresses, old Intel associations and links, old X everything and replaces everything with the new Y stuff.

Then goto the motherboard website and install the motherboard chipset drivers specific to your motherboard. Windows has generic drivers, but can't do the advanced stuff. Just like windows has generic gpu drivers, but you get the gpu drivers from nvidia or amd to really make the gpu perform as it should.

For all intents and purposes, changing a motherboard is making your old pc into a new pc, it's a different pc altogether regardless of addons like storage or gpu.
