RTX 3070 low FPS & Utilization

[Pokkel1982]

Hi all. I found the problem...

So I installed Windows 11 and a new MOBO (upgraded from b320 to b450) and it made almost no difference. Maybe like 5 fps...

In BF 2042, I saw with a different FPS monitor, that the GPU was giving about 120-150fps, where the cpu was running at 30-50fps.

I then ordered a new set of RAM, because my wife needed more (YES!)... GSkill 32GB 3600 CL16 and XMP'ed it to 3333.

Now BF gives me, on the exact same map 128 people, between 100 and 145 fps on the cpu and 140-160 fps on the GPU...

So the guy who said it's the RAM, well done! It was it....

Oh yes, but my CPU runs at 100% and my GPU usage is up as well...

What was different from your previous test you mentioned in the first post?

I also tried 32GB ram, and it did not make a big difference. (2x16GB 2666)

2667 to 3333 is decent, but not THAT big of a change, unless you accidentally ran single channel in that first test?

I tried it with single and double on the first non xmp klevv ram, but it didn't make a difference...

The new setup worked like crazy!!!

Hi all.

My setup first:
AMD 2700x
1x16GB RAM 2666MHz
A320M-K Mobo
700W PSU
RTX 3070 GPU

I recently purchased a 3070 (upgraded from 980, then 2070S tester).

I've been having so many issues with this card, where I had none with the 980 and 2070s.

When playing games, my FPS is way too low. I mainly play Battlefield, but I've seen it with Borderlands, GTA V and F1 2021 as well... Other games do the same.

Please see the pics below. I used BFV as the benchmark, but I mainly play BF 2042, and the FPS is just horrible! Averages between 20 and 70 on 1080p, 4k and any graphics settings. The fps doesn't change no matter the resolution or graphics settings (well maybe with like 5-10%, but is neglectable)... So weird...

I have tried different drivers, from the oldest one BF accepts, to now the latest one. I also used DDU to do the installations properly...

Updated BIOS, VBIOS, enabled resize BAR, played around with HPET, tried different combo's in NVidia Control Panel, Max Performance, etc...

I also tried 32GB ram, and it did not make a big difference. (2x16GB 2666)

I have researched the 2700X RTX 3060 combo, and it shouldn't bottleneck it.

Anybody know why my GPU utilization might be this low? And it's only this low when I start playing on foot...

Hi, why are you using a single channel for memory?? from decades now we know that using 2x8 is better than 1x16...motherboard are made for double channel, everything's made for double channel so maybe it comes from here.

BF is battlefield.
Just wanted to mention for those who wanted to join the conversation. It's not boyfriend.
