Hi Everyone

So I recent bought a Gigabyte Vision OC RTX 3070 GPU which I was extremely excited about.

Since its purchse I've had mixed feelings about the way my system is performing. In Some games like Horizon Zero Dawn I am getting the framerate you would expect but in others the system really seems to be underperforming.
In warzone it literally doesn't matter what my settings are, my framerate stays at the usual 100-120FPS and even drops below 100 at times. With this card I could be basically hitting 200FPS at points while easily averaging 180 frames.
I have tried everything, from DDU driver reinstalls, a clean formatted windows reinstall. Full reinstall of Warzone, updated bios, updated chipset drivers, turned on XMP etc and nothing is working.

At this point I almost want to return the card as the frames I was getting from my 1060 were basically 85-95 FPS.

Part of me thinks its a CPU issue but I am running a 10600k at 4.1 stock with turbo clock of 4.5 GHZ surely I should at least be averaging over 140 FPS before bottlenecking becomes an issue, I have a friend with a Ryzen 5 2600 getting over 100 frames with a 1070 in 1080 with settings maxed.

I am really hoping someone can help he here as I am unsure of what to do at this point.

Time Spy and Port Royal give me decent scores but Shadow of The Tomb Raider is achieving almost half of what it should at times.


Full system specs:

I 5 10600K 4.1 Ghz
Asus Tuf B460 Plus Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 Mhz 2x 16 GB Dimms
Klevv 1 TB M.2
RTX 3070 Gigabyte Vision OC
Antec 750 Watt PSU
 
Sorry just wanted to mention, when looking at my performance monitors the CPU is running between 60-75% 80 tops and GPU jsut sits at 60% usage.

This seems to happen across quite a few games with the GPU almost always underutilizing.
 
What cooler are you running on your CPU? What's you temps on each your GPU and CPU?
 
Check what PCI Express your GPU is running at. it sounds like your GPU could be running at 2.0 x and not 3.0 x

I'm running a pretty simple Antec A400 air cooler, which I know is not optimal for this CPU. It runs at about 70-75 degrees while playing maybe max 80 -83on a hot day. But watching it on CPUz it maintains a boost of just under 4.5Ghz even at 80 degrees.

I've checked this with GpuZ, it's running at Pcie 3.0 x 16
 
What other games have you tried that is resource heavy?

Nvm, I read TOMB and Horizon. Very odd though. Stupid thing to ask but can you maybe do a BIOS update?

I've done a Bios update, still nothing.

Cyberpunk runs well until you get to more populated areas where the framerate will drop, but this I am sure is a CPU bottleneck s CPU usage goes up and GPU Usage goes down. I'm not sure if it's maybe just a driver issue as I have stress tested and benchmarked the card quite heavily with 3D mark and it's scoring properly. Cod BOCW also runs fairly well at about 140-175 but could still be getting more frames. COD MW Multiplayer also gets a much higher framerate 150-180 but also could be higher. But then I cant explain the Tomb Raider Bench which it completely underperformed on. It's such an odd problem, its driving me mad.
 
It's a cpu bottleneck. If you pop that RTX 3070 in a buddies pc, with a 10900k or 9900k or even amd cpu with (8cores 16 threads) you'll see the gpu stretch it's legs. I don't think the 3xxx series amd cpu will bottleneck that gpu, but I can be wrong
 
You can’t enable XMP on B460. After reading your description I assumed it, but I checked on Google to make sure I wasn’t wrong. At higher framerates, higher RAM speeds make a significant difference. 2133 JEDEC is simply not going to cut it around 120+ (relatively speaking, the RAM bottleneck may introduce itself in different situations).

I’m not going to assume your circumstances, but with a 10600K and a 3070 Vision; you definitely should be purchasing a decent mid-range Z490 motherboard. It will also allow you to make use of your CPU’s OCing potential.
 
What i have noticed with SOME of these cards is that they often hit their peak power limit , which will cause you're clock frequencies to bounce around leading to dips in performance. Perhaps try raising you're power limit in MSI afterburner and also enable the power limit and clock frequencies metric in the afterburner OSD to monitor the situation. Also what PSU are you using to power the card? and are you using separate pcie power rails to power the card (not the 8+8 splitter)?

As for Cpu bottlenecks , you shouldnt experience more than a 2% bottleneck at 1440p with your config Core i5-10600K & GeForce RTX 3070 | Bottleneck calculator | PC Builds

I can enable it up to 2666 Mhz which I have done. Perhaps a Z board is needed but as I am saying I feel I should at least be getting over average of 120 or 130 fps.
 
It's not a CPU bottleneck .
10600K should be running on a Z490 as you are limited to DDR4 2666Mhz which does have an effect on performance.
Not sure it should have the effects you are witnessing but can be significant at times.

Something else going on, but only obvious thing I can see is the Ram performance being crippled.

I disagree, 10600k outperforms the 9900K, there is now ay my CPU is bottlenecking me to 100-120 FPS in this game.

What's odd is there are other people with my config and ram speed getting better performance. I'm just worried abotu8spending the money on a Z board and nothing changing.

I would say, download MSI Afterburner and RTSS (provided you haven’t already), force high performance mode in MW, force high performance in Windows 10, monitor GPU and CPU utilisation, as well as boost clocks and temps; then report back what your GPU and CPU are doing. I am almost certain it’s going to be a GPU under-utilisation, but not because of a CPU bottleneck.

Try this, then perhaps try DDUing your drivers, and if worst comes to worst try reinstalling the game, or Windows. If there are no obvious hardware or software issues that we can identify, then more than likely it is a RAM issue.

I should be getting 50-60 more frames than I am currently getting.

I've done that and GPU is definitely underutilizing. CPU not really exceeding 70-80% usage. Only other thing I can think of is its drivers or ram.

No in all loads and 9900k is more powerful in some spaces but in terms of gaming not by much.

In Warzone on all settings the 10600k doesn't even beat the 9700k nvmd the 9900k.
Sure the performance is close to that of a 9900k, but by no means does it 'beat it' as you stated.


However, if you don't manage to sort your issue out of low fps, feel free to send the card my way (If you are in Cpt) and I can run some tests on it and compare it to my 3070 to see if you got a lemon.

Just a suggestion but maybe stop being in denial and be open to the advice given. Take time to read and listen instead of fighting back and saying but it can’t this and it can’t that. You made a thread for help so be willing to accept it :)

Not really the intention sorry if it came across that way. I’ve read everyone response and every fix suggested I have done so I’m not sure what you mean when you say I’m not reading? Very much Open to any advice that may help :)

Apologies I stand corrected.
