Very good pc - low fps in games

[markostanacev]

Hi.
So i bought new PC 4-5 months ago and i have very bad performance at most of games
Specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-8100 CPU @ 3.60GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
ASRock H310M-HDV
RAM Memory 8.0 GB
931GB TOSHIBA DT01ACA100
Microsoft Windows 10 (build 17134), 64-bit


I don't know what's happening to my PC but I have good performance in few games but other games are bad.
I play Borderlands with Dynamic Shadows - Off and even with lowest settings I get like 40-80fps.
I cant even play, this isn't even smooth, fps drops every second and I had mouse lag.
I fixed that with Nvidia Control Panel , setting Quality to High Performance, now I get 100-120fps with Dynamic Shadows - On.

Borderlands and Injustice 2 are only two games that i get better performance.
When i play Hitman , I can set lowest settings possible at 1080p and i can't get more FPS than 30-40..
Far Cry 4 terrible performance, Call of Duty WW2 max 60-70fps on medium settings, GTA V works good (80-90fps)
Batman Arkham Knight - Lowest/highest settings are same (40-50fps with drops)
WWE 2k15 drops 60-45fps (1vs1 normal match). I can't believe that I have drops in this game!

Tomb Raider 2013 stutters, Assassin's Creed Syndicate lowest settings 30-40fps max..

Can someone of you help me? I really don't know what to do, I updated Windows, drivers, deleted every single virus.. Not only low fps but I get mouse lag (when i look around in games, fps drops or stays high but even if fps don't drop i feel lagging like its 40fps, not 60).



Edit: I want to mention that i played Battlefield V Open Beta and it stutters like crazy at lowest settings possible. FPS is 40-50 (not 60) but it stutters every second down to 10fps.

Can u provide an analysis of your CPU and GPU performance (temp, usage) while in-game?

For some of those titles you need more RAM. Your computer is likely relying on virtual memory, and since you have a hard drive rather than an SSD, that is an extremely slow affair. The stuttering is probably caused by the system needing to dump files from memory to the hard drive and then retrieve more things to load into memory from the hard drive. Basically trying to get the hard drive to be in two places at once.

More memory would certainly help.

The later battlefield games like CPU threads, with only 4 on that CPU, it will struggle a little bit in multiplayer.

You should certainly monitor your memory usage during your games. As well as CPU and GPU percentage load. If anything is maxing out you have a rough idea of what each game needs to perform better.

Games usually work at 90-100% cpu/gpu usage. I have single channel RAM.

I saw benchmarks on youtube with exact same build and they have much more FPS in some games.

CPU temps max 60°C, GPU 50-60°C while gaming.

Try going to Nvidia Control Panel - Manage 3D Settings - Program Settings
Check the .exe files of all your games whether they are listed, if not add them in.
Then check through every single one of them and make sure they are set as "Use: High performance Nvidia GPU"

I did that when I was talking about high performance. I didn't change main 3D settings but I changed Program Settings
