My PC is powerful but i have low fps!


Recommended Posts

How do i look at my "commit charge" as you say? By the way when i run a performance monitor while i play my GPU is only using about 50-65% of it's capacity, and i am only using like 6 gigs of my 16 gigs of available RAM, and i have a question, i have a AMD 6200 FX hexa-core CPU Is that a bad CPU? Do you think that it is utilizing my GPU? should i look into buying another CPU? or would it not be worth it....also i was wandering about the new Nvidia GPU;s with the pascal arc.......the 1080 i believe it is called, do you think it would be worth looking into buying one of those?

That cpu is the bottleneck in your system. You most likely would see ~15fps more and less stutter with Skylake or it's eqivalent.

The CPU is the biggest bottleneck (refer to the benchmarks I linked) - another GPU is not the solution here. However in order to upgrade you will likely have to replace the entire platform (there is probably some upgrade path on your AM3 setup, but the performance gains will be fairly minimal in the grand scheme of things, and the CPU will still be a bottleneck for that GPU) - this isn't an uninvolved process (its really best thought of as building a machine that gets to re-use some parts from your existing machine). Any of the more recent Intel CPUs from Sandy Bridge on up would be a worthy upgrade; you can probably get a decent price on ebay for Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge/Haswell gear as people dump it to have the "latest and greatest" with Skylake.

A new GPU won't make any difference to Skyrim because it's Gamebryo and Gamebryo always tanks on AMD. You prob got one core maxed out with the other 5 sitting idle.

Like someone else said a ton of mods will just make things worse, especially if a lot of NPC's are added to the gameworld.

 

 

For Fallout 4 tho yes a better GPU could help for sure. Up to you whether one game is worth a whole new system ...

 

16GB you got plenty of RAM for now.... :smile:

 

 

 

P.S. RAM usage the actual system consumption is not always what Task Manager displays. Until W7 "Memory" was just working set which is only half the story.

 

So if you have W7 open TM performance tab and look under System, the commit amount is at the bottom. If W8 or later the Commit amount is clearly labelled under Memory.

just simply back up those mods and folder then reinstall with vanilla and see if it runs good. im having issue with a 980 ftw 2.0 and i think it might be the aa? maybe fxaa only? becuz in the beginning where u r on the wagon it got terrible once into helgen. plus i may add i have hardly any mods and of course no enb, just simple realisitc lighting overhaul and simm, and villages enchanced. nothing more.

Everyone with low FPS on high end system should try this.

 

Visit Xiph.org. It is a foundation which develops Vorbis, Theora and other codecs. Vorbis decodes .OGG sound files, and major part of Fallout and similar games use those. It is likely that game installation already contains vorbis.dll, but version is hopelessly outdated.

 

Installing Directshow filters from Xiph.org did miracles for me. It brings up-to-date version of vorbis.dll, possibly something more.
