Windows 10: Problems with FPS

For quite a while now I have been experiencing a collapse in FPS in same areas of the game Fallout 4 and thought it was the game. But today, I was playing Banished, both games via Steam online. I left the game paused and went away. About an hour later came back and pc was on desktop but game was still running. Switched to game and selected resume. Everything froze and indicator on screen, top left, shows 1 FPS. So its not just FO4. It has to be something wrong with the MSI GeForce RTX 2070.

Having looked at viable alternatives I came across the AMD Radeon RX 5700, much cheaper than Nvidia by far. Bearing in mind I am not interested in VR at all, do the members think this would be a good alternative. To improve on the RTX2070 is in the region of 1000+ - no way Jose. But the 5070 is retailing in the region of 400. Or maybe this one:

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

 

ATI Radeon HD 6950 - FPS Problems

500mhz under 3d? wow that is an strange problem. and in 2d does it goes to 250?

Anyway I would suggest doing this if not tried: driver resets to default *Smile this solve a few problem for me in the past.

 

ATI Radeon HD 6950 - FPS Problems

I have a problem with my own non-refernce 6950 that has it only go to 500 MHz under 3D load. It sounds like you are having a similar problem. I am currently working with the card maker going through basic troubleshooting for this issue, and perhaps following the same steps will benefit you as well.


First, please do not use and third party tools to attempt clocking the card just yet.


IF you have the time, and an extra harddrive, I suggst you do a fresh OS install, and try installing using the Catalyst 11.12 driver. To monitor temperatures and clockspeed, you can use GPU-Z. At the very bottom of the monitor tab in GPU-Z is a check-box to have it update while in the backgroud, make sure this is checked, and load up 3DMark 11 or something and let it run.

When it exits, you can right-click the clock and temperature listings, and select the option to show the highest reading. If the clock does not scale past 750 MHz, your problem is like mine, and I suggest you contact the card maker to get some support on this. If it works, we can come to the conclusion that your problem is driver-related, and then deal with that. You've already eliminated temps, it seems, so let's look elsewhere for the problem.


The fresh OS install will help ensure it's not issues like a virus or other conflicting software. I think you must take this step now.
