New to Building, What should I upgrade or change
JD3
✭
Just published and built my PC, been having issues with slow frame rates and rubber banding on games. Do not understand why GPU-Z keeps giving me performance cap errors. Power and Thermal..
* One thing the build profile doesn't describe is there are 7 fans, 3 in front pulling air in, 3 on top venting air, and 1 on the rear also venting.
Also the monitors are Sceptre 165Hz 25" and Sceptre 32" curve. Both having 145 fPS settings

Greetings @JD3
Please post a list of your components and screenshots of what you're seeing in GPU-Z. We'll look into this for you. -

Well, looking at it the power cap warning looks normal to me. You see the voltage draw, 47W from the slot and 75W from the PCIe(max on a 6 pin). I assume if you change that to #2 it's also in the same range. That would put you in the 200W range. 2070's load at 200-215 watts, so you really are at 100% TDP. This isn't throttling, this is just the power limit of the card and shouldn't incur any performance issues.
What are your temps at? Have you monitored the frequencies in a game? Do so in windowed mode, try to correlate if there's a sudden drop in the cards frequency to correspond to your framerate drops. Rubber banding is generally more of an issue with latency than performance. -
Thanks.... I have my frame rates stay in the 140-150 most of the time... and the temps are usually 40-50 C but have climbed in to high 60s and I haven’t noticed anything concerning at the time of issues I’ve listed.... also I do have a gaming router and 400 MB’s connection speed... just wanted to make sure I wasn’t bottle necking or damaging anything... I also assumed it was prolly the Internet provider but wanted to make sure... thanks again
