[SOLVED] Question Upgraded GPU, but runs with low FPS and low usage

[MadsDK]

Hi

I recently bought a new RTX 3080 ti and upgraded from my 980 ti. After playing some BF5 and Warzone and finding out that my GPU usage was very low (10-15%) while my CPU was at 100%, I suddenly understood better why my FPS was also somewhat lower than what I had expected from this high end GPU. I just took a speed test on Userbenchmark.com, and got the answer that my computer is performing way below expectations. I can't figure out why though. Can you help me?

Kind Regards,
Mads

ram not running at 3200

As rgd1101 wrote, get into the BIOS, enable XMP so that the run can work at 3200MTs and then run userbenchmark one more time.

Yup, Userbench says your RAM is running at default 2133 MT/s, which is pretty bad for performance. You should get a 15-20% performance increase from fixing that. Still going to leave your RTX3080 grossly under-utilized most of the time though. May want to bump details up a notch or two.

Hi. Thank you. After running the benchmark after enabling XMP the computer came out as performing as expected. However, I'm not seeing much of a change in FPS in Warzone for example. In this game, I'm getting 110-140 FPS on high settings 1440p while I see other people playing with the same specs with a FPS at 160-170 fps on Ultra settings. Is it normal for the GPU usage to be only 10-20% while playing?

What may cause my computer to run worse than before my GPU upgrade?

 

[rgd1101]

is the cpu usage still at 100%?

 

[MadsDK]

Yes

 

[rgd1101]

is the game using all the cpu or something else you having running?

 

[MadsDK]

Just the game
