Question Underperforming?

[KillerWhale33]

Built my pc about 15 months ago. Worked great at the start, has had an expected decline. Now, it just seems too slow. Benchmarked it and got a raft rating for gaming, my primary use. Overall everything isn’t doing too bad, but my gpu has a pretty bad rating. Anything i can do to try to help my system run a bit better? I’m willing to simply upgrade if necessary. I can get around 80 frames on lowest settings on R6S.

Geforce 1050 TI

Cpu and gpu temps and usage in game?

A 2x8gb 3200mhz RAM kit will boost performance.

cpu and gpu are both at good temps, cpu usage is 70-100% when in game, cpu usage is purely the game being ran, not any background processes

slightly inexperienced with computer hardware sorry, i was under the impression that ram mostly helped with multiple processes running at once, and wouldn’t do much for a single heavy taxing game

Nope! Gaming(especially on Ryzen platforms) is very dependent on fast, dual channel RAM. Right now you are running in single channel mode. Check out a few YouTube videos comparing dual vs. single channel.

I’ll look into it, thanks for the quick response!!

could i just get another corsair vengeance that i already have or would it be worth it to get two different 3200mhz ram sticks?

RAM is only guaranteed to work at rated speeds when sold in a kit.

However buying another completely identical stick should work, although its not guarenteed.

A 1050 ti isn't exactly the rocket ship model of the gpu world. Consider selling it and getting something faster.

I was also looking into that, would you recommend starting by upgrading my gpu or getting another stick of ram first?

Seems a bit like chicken and egg as you will need 16GB for higher settings, which you will only achieve with a new GPU

Thanks for the advice, I’ll probably end up splurging on both!

For a pretty long time my computer seems like it’s been underperforming. I’ve had it for about 15 months, and it seems like it’s declined. I was wondering if there’s any really important settings i may have overlooked or changed on accident or something. I get around 80 frames on lowest setting on R6S, which is not great. Any ideas?

exact full system spec? include make and model of the psu

cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
ram/hdd/sdd usage during the game?

malware scan?

CPU is around 50 C during a game of rainbow, gpu is 70-80 C. CPU is 70%~ and GPU is 80-100%~. 60% for ram, 0% for hdd/sdd.
I’ve done malware scans with windows and didn’t find anything, do you recommend using a third party for the scan?
