[SOLVED] NVIDIA GTX 1070 LOW FPS

[Panduzzo]

Hi all,
i've bought a zotac nvidia gtx 1070 amp extreme a few days ago... i have installed all the most recent drivers but i get low fps ( min around 20 and max around 60) playing in 1080p with all ultra settings... i thought that was a game problem but i moved on hitman, deus ex mankind divided, batman arkham knight, homefront the revolution and i still have the same bad performance.

i've red that it's possibile that the cause could be a bottlenecking, but i have a new cpu so i don't think so. i have tried to install an old nvidia driver, the performance increases about 5 fps, but i have no solution.

Can someone help me?

my specs are:

- gpu zotac gtx 1070 amp extreme
- cpu intel i7-6800k
-mobo asus strix x99
-ram corsair dominator platinum ddr4 3000 mhz
-psu corsair h1000i

check GPU and cpu usage when in game
and i recommend God rays set to low

was that the one they had to do refunds on. the memory or
something was way smaller than advertised.

As far as fallout optimization goes i just wrote this for someone else

optimized vanilla textures
F.A.R
Insignifigant object remover

Vivid landscapes
Vivid Rocks
Vivid Trees (i actually havn't tried but the other 2 vivids boosted my fps noticably)

ENBoost
ENB ShadowBoost

ENB's a bit of work but it'll probalby pay off. there are good tutorials on utube for enb install and the minor notepading that comes with it. Just take your time if you go that route.

there's also a ShadowResolution line in one of the INI's forget which that you can drop from like 2048 to 512 for some more gains

double check your physx is set to gpu in NVcontrol panel.

fiddle with fullscreen /borderless see how that treats you

consider disabling iPresentInterval but only if u add a 3rd party frame limiter or else physx/dialogue will break above 72fps

also an old skyrim ini tweak that seems to still work is a line ExteriorCellLoading ???

mm really not sure of the line exactly but it's defaulted to 32 or 64 i bumped to 144 seems good.

if you break your game with ini edits u can always delete them and let the FO launcher regenerate them, and remember to read only your ini's if you are also touching your launcher settings window as it will reset changes like iPresentInterval


On the hardware end not too sure, maybe disable cool n quiet to help with cpu utilization, NV control panel profile settings? prefer max power. max performance, razor cortex if background processes are eating performance, uninstall geforce experience,

windows 10 N version 64 bit
16 gigs of ram
the cpu is running at 3.4 Ghz (never bosted)

i already have max power setting on in my control panel

Not really full specs is it...........

my cpu is stock 3.4 boost 4.3 but it never boosts properly, and fallout 4 being a poorly optimized port is hella single thread performance dependent.

i think you should go for that cool n quiet in bios, personally i OCed to 4.0 and disabled boost and it helped, but that takes time and learning if you don't already know.

Another thing you could try is running msi afterburner's monitor while in game and check out your cpu /gpu usage. When my performance was really bad i found my cpu cores with huge usage with drastic spikes and low gpu usage. hense tweaked cpu.

Another thing you might try is not ultra,seriously this game is a pig. 1/2 distance sliders is still really far, especially in dense spawing areas. after godrays it's shadows and textures in my experience.

[Panduzzo]

i've noticed that gpu utilization is in 100% usage, while the cpu is about 60% or less usage.. it seems to be in the right way..

There is a problem with GTX 1070 but it should only be when you're overclocking. Might worth a try updating your bios/check it with GPU Z first.

[baddoggs]

Overclocking is and allways will be a BAD idea.

[CatNotHuman]

Use/Run BethINI, it works for all elder scrolls and (modern) fallout games, automatically optimizes all your INI settings, super easy to use, can work wonders

follow instructions, set it to Ultra and Recommended, you should be able to run the game just fine a 1080p

(it doesnt effect acheivements in any way)

[Jonny Sparta]

well if your usage is 60% cpu and 100% gpu than that much of your system is working properly. You're just maxing out the 1070.

Those ultra settings are killer man, i know that you deserve max with that card but u may need to try notching it down a bit.

Something Im looking into right now is my ram frequency which,,, isn't right. cpu-z's showing me 535 freq on my ddr3 that an effective freq of only like 1070 (jst a coincedence) and that just ain't right, gota bios fiddle just reading up on it now.

i saw a bethesda or nvidia article that talked about fallout's reliance on ram speed, which i've already read has a big influence on minimum frame rates. Might be worth checking your ram freqs

[Jonny Sparta]

ok ram gains. no bs

so yea, read up on DRAM timing settings and listen one computer tutorial guy said.

"Ram above 1600mhz will never default to its rated freqency if simply just installed it"

you have to set in bios. i'll sumerize the process but i hope you watch some tutorials for yourself.

1. if you don't believe me, download CPU-Z (2mb) and check the Memory tab you'll see your frequency there. DDR stands for double data rate so the number you see will be 1/2 your effective ram freq IF your Command Rate is 1 (which it probably is)

my 1600mhz ram was showing a 535mhz clock with a Cmd rate of 1 so my ram was only running at a freq of 1070.

2. Shut off rig, pull plug, remove one ram stick. On the sticker it will tell you the 1.latency timings, 2. the rated voltage, and 3. rated frequency. Write those down.

3. Reinstall ram, boot to bios.

At this point i saved my BIOS setting to a profile in case i mess up

check for DRAM Timing Mode set to LINK (my bios didn't have that AMD thing im guessing)

set your DRAM timings mine were 9,9,9,24 i guess yours will be different

set freq to rated

set voltage to rated

REBOOT TO VICTORY

Try turning shadow distance to medium.
