why is my framerate so low with a nvidea 970 and amd eight core processor?

[Louis_21]

My graphics card is a Geforce GTX 970 with a AMD FX-8320 Eight core Processor and im getting 35 fps on games like csgo or blade and soul at medium to high graphics setting and get constant fps drops form 85 to 35 with 8gb of ram also

Low framerates is a bit subjective... Some people consider 60 fps low. What game are we talking about? And how many fps you are getting out of those games?

 

[Dulith1118]

need to know more details about ur build we need the whole specs.... and what fps are u getting in what setting and in what games

Could be virus issues or some kind of software slowing down your computer. That hardware definitely doesn't give such low FPS. Check installed programs/run an antivirus and come back with the results.

Monitor your hard drive activity, either is a program running in the background, think Windows Defender on Windows 10 or your computer is infected.

In the worst case scenerio your Hard drive might be failing, but this is noticeable if you look at the average response time and read/write speeds of your drive.

Like SlayZombi said, there is no way you can get such a low fps in those games with your specs

would u recommend reseting pc and how do i bring up average time also what framerate should i be getting for future referance and this pc is new from christmas

First, open up the task manager on Windows. Run your game in windowed mode and use the task manager to monitor the disk or CPU activity, and see what kind of applications are running in the background occupying your system resources while you play.

Why speculate? Use MSI Afterburner. What is CPU usage of each core while gaming? Do any hit 100%? Is GPU usage at 100% while gaming?

Knowing those two things helps the most.

 

[Louis_21]

everything seems to be normal and the only thing using is the game it self

 

[Louis_21]

cpu1 45
cpu2 27-37
cpu3 30
cpu4-41
cpu5 13-17
cpu6 6-30
cpu7 10-20
cpu 8 17

What about GPU usage?

 

[Louis_21]

33

 

[turkey3_scratch]

It should be at 100.

 

[Louis_21]

how do i change it

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Did you upgrade from another GPU?

 

[Louis_21]

no i got this pc christmas and i have no idea about some of this stuff

 

[Louis_21]

the min is 2 and max is 40 how do i ncrease

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Are drivers the latest version?

 

[Louis_21]

[as far as i know yes

Uninstall the gpu drivers and do a fresh install plus what psu are you using does the system have enough power

A PSU doesn't ever "not have enough power". Theoretically, it could deliver infinite power, but two things prevent that:

1) The internals aren't designed to deliver wattages (heat) past a certain threshold, so the power supply literally gets burnt components and dies.
2) overpower protection or overcurrent protection kicks in and shuts down the power supply to protect it and the computer.

Low FPS wouldn't result from a power supply issue. Stuff like system freezes, blue screen of death, computer randomly shutting down, all could and is usually relative to the voltage of the current.
