(Not sure if right thread) Low fps when should be getting higher. 1050ti i5 7400

Hey, I get low frames in a lot of games when I should be able to push 60+
Black Desert Online, I struggle to get 60 on medium, when my friend with an RX 460 and same processor gets 80-100 same settings. Rainbow 6 Siege on medium should be able to push 100+, but I get around 70. (If you're wondering why this is a problem, my monitor is 144hz)

I've tried reinstalling drivers, and checking for updates. No luck. I've wiped my PC, nothing. Verified files, nothing, Nvidia's optimal settings, made it worse.

At 3.3Ghz when all 4 cores work it will have a hard time to get 60+ FPS in some games,there is nothing you can do about that,you need those clocks to get good FPS.

Did you monitor your GPU and CPU load while gaming?
Is it 100% during your low fps

 

[noobiepcbuilder]

Its running about 60% CPU 90% GPU

Check your PSU.
It may the problem.

What model do you have?

Games don't have to run on all CPU cores to cause 100% usage,many only run on one or two threads,60% usage can easily mean that the two threads a game runs are maxing out. (and the background apps are the other 10% )

Ah okay, so that just goes for stuff like discord or youtube on my second monitor?

Task manager can tell you how much % the game (or any app) uses and the total usage so you can figure out how much youtube and other stuff uses.
What I said is just an example the game could also use the whole 60% or 55 or whatever else.
The point was that any game can be bottlenecked by one single core.

Just try to stop the background services those you don't need.
Tell me if this work for you or another issue may be the RAM.

My PC is freshly wiped, so there are almost no background processes except the game and window's processes. Also I have 16gb of ram so I don't think ram is the issue.

I found my problem. I defrag'd my hard drive. that was it
