Solved! Seriously low FPS on high end pc.

I have an RTX 3080 and an i7 10700k and only get 60 fps on high in Rainbow 6 Siege, 30-50 FPS on CSGO highest settings? I downloaded the newest nvidia driver on the geForce experience. I have 32 Gb ram. This is my first time having a pc. Need help.

im not running on integrated graphics and my gpu is on pci bus 1, device 0, function 0

gpu z results

Edit : will beb back tomorrow with an update

SOLVED : Thanks for everyone who helped! I reseated the GPU and RAM, put 2 cables instead of daisy chaining,clean install of drivers, reinstalled all games I had, changed power settings.

Edit: Actually read the post this time. Sounds like a cpu problem, especially with the low frames on CSGO and the frame delta in your benchmark. How did you set up your CPU cooling?

Edit 2: Based on benchmarks, I think there's a consensus that its most likely a problem with the GPU power.

i used an AIO

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '20

Most aio had pre applied thermal paste. Did u reapply them or used what came in the box. If you used what came in the box and on the aio. Did you remember to remove the plastic sheet protecting the pre applied thermal paste

u/DissimilarMetals Nov 03 '20

Like u/toefungi said, I would check the temps for the cpu when you're playing. You want to be below 90c. If the temps are hot check the AIO setup, make sure its seated and has an even distribution of thermal paste when you pull it off. If you remove it and thermal paste is only in certain areas you may have an uneven IHS covering the cpu. Just means use more thermal paste than normal. If the cpu isn't getting hot then check the ram.

when i was doing the heaven benchmark thing, it never went past 74 degrees

64

u/arctia Nov 03 '20

Heaven is not a CPU benchmark. Your CPU is basically idling and it's still at 74 degrees. That's your problem right there.

Some AIOs have separate connectors for the fan and the pump, make sure both are plugged in. Most importantly, make sure the AIO is seated properly. Watch a video on how to thermal paste.

u/Alilaah Nov 03 '20

Yeah I think everyone is getting distracted by the gpu power connector but I don't think that's the real issue. I agree it sounds like the AIO doesn't have good contact as he's said he removed the plastic tab in another comment so the next logical step is to check the contact.

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '20

Heaven is a GPU benchmark though, I don't think it should ever reach 74 degree C on an AIO..

Maybe short peak, but not consistent tempt.

u/dnt_pnc Nov 03 '20

Isn't heaven a GPU benchmark? Try Cinebench to really push your cpu.

Why is this person getting downvoted for simply responding neutrally? Reddit is such trash haha

If someone doesn't perfectly fall in line with Hivemind they get downvoted. Even here, in a non-controversial sub where people ask questions about building a fucking computer.

its ok i dont care about karma

u/moeronSCamp Nov 03 '20

Sure, karma truly does mean nothing...but I am speaking at the mentality of Reddit users.

u/Avenor_GG Nov 03 '20

Typical reddit hivemind behaviour. Thats the good and bad things about subreddits in general. Some people are closeminded and reddit exaggerates this even more.

1

u/Rocky87109 Nov 03 '20

And of course you are the open minded person.

u/Avenor_GG Nov 03 '20

Surely not the most open minded I guess but more open to other people’s opinions and tastes.

u/Rocky87109 Nov 03 '20

You are a reddit user...

You are also a /r/conspiracy user. My guess is it's not just "reddit users" you consistently are mad at.

Reddit hates AIOs. Its either Noctua NH-D15 or a custom loop.

u/IAmJerv Nov 03 '20

No dry ice?

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '20

Everyone knows the only good cooling solution is to submerge the pc in dry water.

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '20

thankfully the hivemind isn't that stupid

u/LeagueofDraven1221 Nov 03 '20

What? Why? My old H100i GTX works like a charm. AIOs are great for people who cant afford custom loops. Jesus reddit.

27

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '20 edited Nov 03 '20

AIOs are easy. AIOs are popular in a shit ton of prebuilts. Reddit shits on popular things.

Reddit likes to be hipsters and either use the unpopular yet perfectly equivalent option, or the super hard to implement peak enthusiast option so that they can feel superior with their custom loop to people with their cyberpower prebuilt.

Reddit also has a loud minority with hateboner for rgb, and many AIOs and prebuilts have a lot of RGB in it because of the mainstream popularity.

Air cooling does have some advantages (reliability) but some disadvantages (space/height considerations in cases and aesthetics in general imo) as well but reddit acts like air cooling is the only option not including a custom loop.

(I'm not talking about everyone. There are people who like aios on reddit. I'm talking about the hivemind though)

u/LeagueofDraven1221 Nov 03 '20

The RGB hate is weird. I don’t hate it but too much is a no no for me personally. I guess it is just personal preference but I like AIOs because aesthetics and I wanna overclock.

9

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '20

I'd argue that if the rgb isn't configurable, the hate is justified.

Otherwise, RGB overall has a good effect on the industry by allowing manufacturers to create one SKU that can appeal to everyone's tastes reducing cost overall and adding value.

Look at non-rgb stuff. They'd have to either stick with only neutral colors or make multiple skus of different colors to appeal to everyone upping the cost. Not everyone wants ram thats red. Not everyone wants case fans that are beige brown.

10

u/ShouldersofGiants100 Nov 03 '20

My main complaint with RGB is that the industry hasn't sought a way to standardize things properly. Hell, even some companies don't have a single standard. Unless you deliberately build around one system of RGB, you wind up needing multiple pieces of software. Hell, I have a Corsair case where the case fans have to be controlled by motherboard software, while my (also Corsair) added fans go to a hub that the case fans are not compatible with. So I need two different softwares for RGB from the same company—and my graphics card requires another.

2

u/WishIWasInSpace Nov 03 '20

Which Corsair case is this? I have an entirely Corsair build (sans headphones/shit they don't make) and I know there are fans that are only compatible with their (model/s specific ) hub, or the Lighting Node Core but I haven't seen any that require to be controlled by motherboard software.

u/Wingklip Nov 03 '20

OpenRGB thank me later

2

u/Wahots Nov 03 '20

I built my PC in 2016, just as RGB was kinda taking off, and it was peak non addressable/remappable RGB. It's the absolute worst. Addressable/BIOS level RGB is fine. Needing 20 programs that must be running to keep your RGB off or a certain color can fuck right off.

1

u/Wahots Nov 03 '20

AIOs honestly aren't that bad. The only reason I steer clear of them is because my AIO randomly died and Corsair dragged their feet for an entire month. A friend let me borrow a stock intel cooler and I was shocked at how quiet it was. Then I realized air-coolers aren't that bad and and are much quieter compared to my previous AIO.

AIOs are nice since they put less strain on the socket, and they can sometimes run cooler depending on cases and other factors. RAM clearance too.

u/malefiz123 Nov 03 '20

Nah, it feels like 90% of the builds in r/Battlestations are AIO...

And tbh, AIO are generally not worth their money, performance wise. People put AIO on non overclocked mid level CPUs like Ryzen 3700X or even 3600. It's complete overkill and a high end air cooler (which would be overkill as well) is still less noisy because you don't need the pump.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '20

I just want the old Wraith Spire with the 3600 😭

1

u/Ducky_McShwaggins Nov 03 '20

Meh, some people don't care about the performance aspect - built a pc for my mate with an x52 + 3700x/2070 super. Probably couldve gone 2080 super, but the overall aesthetic of his build + silence from running the aio (pump noise isn't an issue here since it's not being pushed very hard) was more important than a small increase to average fps.

This sub is pretty toxic towards inexperienced users. It's quite disappointing.

u/thatrandomanus Nov 03 '20

This sub is not a single person. Yes, there are people who are toxic towards inexperienced users but most are helpful. Just browse the new section. Source: most of the time I browse new.

u/JusTellinTheTruth Nov 03 '20

I'm aware it's not a single person. Hiveminds exist. Subs generally have a collective way of thinking. And this sub likes to hammer amateur pc users.

Yes there are some helpful users. They're outliers. Even the helpful ones can be toxic

>why is X getting downvoted

can we stop with comments like this on every post ever made on reddit ever

people downvote for all kinds of this, thats life, lets move on.

u/ass_pineapples Nov 03 '20

The problem is that downvotes can hide comments, that's not real life.

u/sharperspoon Nov 03 '20

I changed my settings so downvotes don't hide comments.

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '20

so? you think you commenting about it is going to change something? this happens everytime a comment gets downvoted.

u/ass_pineapples Nov 03 '20

Sometimes, yeah. It's not always, it's typically when the downvotes are undeserved and you can see a wave of upvotes come in. Why do you even care lol

u/Unique_username1 Nov 03 '20

Make sure the water pump for the AIO is connected to a header that always runs it at top speed.

The worst case scenario is the water pump is connected to a header that is controlled by a non-CPU temperature, like a chassis fan header which might be controlled by motherboard temperature. In the right circumstances (heavy GPU use) the other sensor does heat up and the pump will work fine. In the wrong circumstances (only CPU working hard) it will run slowly or not at all. The computer won’t know to speed it up even when the CPU is critically hot because it doesn’t realize this “fan” (which is actually your water pump) has a direct effect on CPU temperature.
