[SOLVED] Not getting very much performance increase from new gpu

[Noobgamer37]

I recently upgraded my graphics card to a 2070 super from a 980ti. After playing games on the new card for a few days ive noticed im not getting very much if any fps boost in the games that i play. I have also noticed that i get the same fps in games no matter what settings I have it on. In pubg both ultra and very low settings both got me around 100fps. In league of legends on all very high with/without antialising im getting 100-110fps. On all low im able to hold at 140-160fps. I realize these are good frames but they arent what I expected to be getting with this new card I would like to be able to stay at 144fps to match my refresh rate. I made sure to uninstall my old drivers before installing the new card. Is this what I should be getting or is there a change I need to make because these are about the same as what I got with my 980ti?

Your CPU could be the limiting factor.

I looked at my usage from both cpu and gpu while in game and highest the cpu got was 50% in league of legends.

The question is on how many threats the game runs. If it uses half your threats for 100% you are cpu-limited by ipc and frequency too. Just saying cos especially lol is an old title.

Sorry, I don't know a whole lot about computer lingo. What are threats and how do I check on them?

I just checked your cpu and the 4790k is quite a powerful unit in single threat performance. Especially when overclocked.
Threats are the number of operation tasks a cpu can handle simultaneously. So you cpu has a technology called multithreading. You got 4 cores and 8 threats. Most modern games will split parts of the workload over multiple cores and threats. But older titles sometimes just run on one or two cores. Thats what I meant earlier.

I honestly dont know what causes your problem right now. Maybe overclockinc the cpu might help but thats something that requires at least some basic knowledge from your side. Maybe you got a Ram issue. Does your Ram consist of a kit that was bought together or did you upgrade down the line?

It’s THREADS. not threats

I stand corrected. Now I would be very curious on your input on the actual topic instead of hypocritical spelling corrections.
(And yes I read your unedited answer before). Have a go at it.

Yeah its 2 kits I bought a few years apart but they are the same sticks.

that doesn't matter. mixing ram even with same specs doesn't always work (it does sometimes and sometimes not, and it is generally not recommended)

also, did you use DDU to fully uninstall all the old graphics drivers? you can still do this. download DDU and boot to safe mode, use DDU to remove ALL video drivers. then reboot windows and install the new graphics card drivers.

Recommended usage

• The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best.
• Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe).
• It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues.

Keep note that NVIDIA/AMD did not have anything to do with this, I do not work at or for NVIDIA/AMD and they should not be held responsible for anything that may go wrong with this application.

Requirement:

• Windows Vista SP2 up to Windows 10 May 2019 update 1903 (18362.xx) (anything higher is at your own risk)
• NVIDIA, AMD, Intel GPUs
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or higher

Recommended usage

• You MUST disconnect your internet or completely block Windows Update when running DDU until you have re-installed your new drivers.
• DDU should be used when having a problem uninstalling/installing a driver or when switching GPU brand.
• DDU should not be used every time you install a new driver unless you know what you are doing.
• DDU will not work on network drive. Please install in a local drive (C:, D: or else).
• The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best.
• If you are using DDU in normal mode, Clean, reboot, clean again, reboot.
• Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe).
• It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues.

you also don't know what hypocritical means either. LOL it's just that you kept spelling it that way, and you also mentioned multi-threading and spelled that correctly. let's call a truce. i won't mention it again. you can always put me on Ignore too.

Alright I'll give this a try. Thanks
