So, I just did a computer build. I currently have:
GTX 1080 8GB of RAM running at a clock of 1900MHz, 72degrees, using 4.5GB/8GB of VRAM.
A I7-9700k running at 4.8GHz core temps maxing at 80.
32GB of corsair DDR4 running at 3200.
Windows 10.
MSI MPG z390 pro carbon motherboard.
Running the game on a 970 EVO plus.
Now I'm using HWinfo to monitor temps, and task manager to look at overall usage. My GPU is at 100% and my cpu at 43%, Memory at 32% or so (about 12GB).
I am trying to run Dying Light at 144fps with my 144hz monitor, with G-Sync
Now when playing the game hovers at 160-170 fps, then when I actually start running around it goes everywhere from 96fps to 121, 132. Not ever going back to 144fps.
Why is that? Is my cpu running too hot? I have it in MSI's game mode to run at overclocked rates, but I assum anything below 85 degrees shouldn't throttle?
What do I need to do to keep my frames from dropping like that?
Is my gpu not good enough? I don't quite understand how that would be determinable as most run at 100% when playing a game and shouldn't need to use all the VRAM anyway. The cpu shouldn't be bottlenecking right? Thanks for reading and your time let me know your thoughts.
