Question about Resolution and FPS

[craigdellenbach]

Good afternoon, I have a stupid question, and I am hoping you smart people can assist me.

I currently play WoW, and in my downtime play, CoD, PUBG, and other random steam goodies. Any how, I have a 34” ultra wide monitor, it is 3440x1440 and 60hz.

So in WoW with everything on Max, I get well over 60fps, but in CoD black ops 4, I get around 15-25fps, with all settings on low. And it makes the game unbearable.

I understand the high resolution is what’s effecting the FPS.

PC specs:
GPU: GTX1070ti
CPU: intel i5 4560k
Ram: DDR3 Corsair 16gb 3000
Mobo: Asus z87
SSD: Samsung Evo 850 250gb

I thought a 1070ti would be enough. Could it be I am having a bottle neck from other parts of my PC? CPU, mobo, and ram are about 5-6 years old.

Should I sell the Ultrawide and get a 1440p 144hz g sync monitor, or would I be better off upgrading the Tri-fecta?

Your help would be appreciated!

There's something wrong. Low settings at even 3440x1440 should not be a problem with your build. Surely not 15-25 fps. I'd check to see if there is something hogging the CPU or GPU resources. Virus? Malware?

I thought that as well. But I ran a virus scan, and malware scan.

When the game is running, my CPU is showing 100% useage. Could that be the issue?

Only Black Ops does that?

From what I’ve noticed.

Do you have the latest gpu driver? They release one for new games like that.

If already have it, might try to delete and reinstall the game.

Found this for 1080ti might work for you. Look for the 1080 ti settings recommended for higher framerates on the page at:
