[SOLVED] HELP - Poor Performance GTX 970 Core i7 950

[GuilloLeoz]

Hey guys, I purchased DOOM yesterday and this morning I was ready to finally enjoy. However the performance sucks for me. I've been googling a lot and nobody seems to be having any issues with it.

I have a gtx 970, 16gb RAM and a Core i7 950. I'm affraid my processor has finally become a little bit too old. Could that be the problem? Could it be making a bottle neck?

With everything on low the game does not go above 34fps.

If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Have you tried the newest driver from Nvidia?

A little bit too old? it's a freaking relic. Even a heavy OC'ed 2500k gets left in the dust by an i5 6600K as DigitalFoundry showed.

Did you set Vsync to adaptive? i had a similar problem with Vsync set to on.

Yeah, I know it's really old, but I've been playing everything that's been coming out with no issues. This is the first time I've had this sort of performance.

I tried with every type of vsync and it didn't seem to matter.

Guess I'll have to buy a new one.

Thanks.

P.S: if anyone has any other advice, I'm listening

yeah, I already updated the drivers

I have a GTX 980 with a i7 3770K @ 4.5 ghz with 16 gb ddr3 ram. Whatever I put for graphic settings they simply don't save. I can set everything to ultra but when I apply them and come back to the graphics menu everything is at medium.... anybody have a clue what to do? Ihave the latest drivers.

It's definitely the CPU: I have a GTX 970 myself and the only time I went below 60 fps on ultra so far was because of a CPU bottleneck in a large room during intense combat (I have an i7 2600). I think those of us with older CPUs will see a significant improvement in performance once Vulkan drops though so don't give up just yet.

You may have a virus. Reinstall Windows.

guess I'll have to be patient. Thanks

set shadows to LOW and see your fps increase 40% in performance

Could you maybe benchmark another recent release, ideally one which is quite demanding and post the fps benchmark? I was of the impression that Doom isn't particularly demanding so if that was my rig and other more demanding games performed better I'd be thinking there was <something else> going on.

Hey, I used to have that CPU! You should overclock it a bit and you will be fine! I think I raised my BCLK to 214 and had it running at 4.5ghz! Ran it like that for a good couple years! Try something lower than that though as I had a pretty sweet water cooler on it!

[D2daICE]

Have a Core i5 2500k (not overclocked), a GTX970 Strix, 8GB RAM and Doom installed on an HDD.

I play it on 1080p@Ultra and so far it was always at 60 FPS, not a single drop so far (just started the Argent Facility level).

[CyberdemoN]

OP, I have a similar build to yours: i7 920 @ 3.3GHZ, MSI GTX 970 & 12GB RAM

Running Doom 1080p @ 60fps on Ultra settings. It's a constant 60fps from the two levels I have played so far. The CPU usage is low while the GPU usage is high.

Using 365.10 Driver.

first of all download msi afterburner and monitor cpu and gpu load in game, after you do this report here and we can see if it's realy cpu(I certain that this cpu should be enough for 970)

[GuilloLeoz]

Ok, i don't know what the ♥♥♥♥ happened, but right now I'm playing it with everything on Ultra and running it at 60fps :O

I simply run a few programs to clean my registry, reset my computer and voilà! problem solved.

Thank you all for your answers. Sometimes PCs can be weird
