GTX 1070 and "only" 120 fps - WTF?

[Link]

Hey,

So I have gtx 1070 msi, i7 3770k 16gb ram, ssd drive and I only get 80-120 fps (highest settings) at 1440p

IF I lower all settings to lowest possible I still have same fps, whats wrong??

Yes I maxed fps limit past 120 to 240 and even tried using consle thing is It fps is 80-120 at hard fights even 60 lol

And I tried disabling everything on my desktop so only dota 2 ran. And no i dont have any viruses

Whats wrong with this game? Is ther anything I have to do or wtf? Using nvidia latest drivers 378.49

All other latest games fun great for me except dota 2...

I get 200+ on the same gpu no point anyways

ok but how is this possible that u get 200+ while I get 80-120?? if I change to lowest settings I still have same amount of fps lol..

Probably, because you are using older and slower CPU.
Your Ivy Bridge based processor is only slightly better than AMD FX based chips.

how many hz is your monitor?
try going to video on settings dota 2 use my monitor current resolution

[tinleo333]

the gtx 1070 might be bottlenecking the 3770 witch is a bit old for that card

[tom]

dota is blocked at 120, you can't get more

Pretty sure its this...try overclocking your cpu..and using the higuest resolution so youre demanding your gpu and cpu the same...
btw...you should also go to the designers of the gpu's site and download some kind of program that lets you see the temperature of your graphic card and all that stuff...so you could be sure if bottlenecking is actually the problem (wich means that your cpu is getting overheated while your gpu is running without problems)....btw...if you didnt understand ♥♥♥♥ what i said...you could add me and i could try to give you some advice...

1. It is not necessary to go to the GPU designer to get such a program.

2. It is clear that OP already has such a program... how else would he know his GPU's load percentage?

3. It is highly unlikely that his CPU is bottlenecking his GPU.


OP, add +fps_max 0 to your launch options.

too many frames at 1440 yes is bottlenecking

No, it is not. If he had an i3, it would be. Not even a GTX 1080 will be bottlenecked by a third-gen i7.

OP should OC, though... no reason not to if he has the k edition.

...

third gen i7 = FX 8350 + 15-20%
third gen i7 = slower DDR3, 3 ALU + 2 AGU vs DDR4, 4 ALU + 3 AGU in modern CPUs

Whether GTX 1080 will be bottlenecked by a 3rd gen i7 or not depends on many factors.
Most important include: game itself, resolution, AA level and in-game graphics settings.

And, basically, he's getting fps one could expect from 3rd gen i7 CPU.

1. Never said it was his only source...
2. Good point...never saw that comment he made
3. Its not actually...maybe he has a bad config on his motherboard...lack of drivers...+ no o.c...seen the same problem in a lot of gpu's forums...but you kinda have to get to the answer by your own... just download a program that let you check how your pc's doing when youre playing...and specially check the temperatures...

Btw...just try this as last option...because you dont wanna ♥♥♥♥ anything up if you never had a problem on the first place...

PS: Msi forums are useless...theyll tell you to go ♥♥♥♥ yourself if the gpu's not the problem.
And if youre saying that lowering your resolution wont make anything happen...its prolly cuz the gpu's not the problem. You dont need a beast gpu to run this game on max, because just like starcraft2, its all about that cpu.

thank you for the answer guys.

Ok look, I havent updated motherboard for 1 year at least but I doubt it has any newer software than already one I have, Its kind of old motherboard.

Nvidia drivers are newest, and about the CPU;

1) Is my CPU slowing my card down?

2) If not - I dont know how to OC, and I doub tOC would change anything?

Its not a big deal really, game is smooth, but I feel my card is not being used to the fullest by dota 2 and sometimes goes to low 60's which is more than wierd.. for that card

Did you just changed your gpu recently?...or the cpu?....if you did...you should google up if you have to make some changes on your motherboard config...messing with the BIOS (wish is scary , but if youre careful and you start "messing" with the config one step at a time, and i mean, changing a little the config, shouldnt be a problem.)
Btw, look up for your motherboard drivers and others, if youre lucky (like me) your motherboard has a program to mess with your cpu and overclock it, anyways there's a lot of info on google and a lot of people probably had your same problem, im kinda sure its nothing but a cpu config problem, something similar happened to me.
(Download MSI afterburner, and see if theres something fishy happening with your cpu or gpu when youre playing dota, and tell us what happened)
PS: "Its not a big deal really, game is smooth, but I feel my card is not being used to the fullest by dota 2 and sometimes goes to low 60's which is more than wierd.. for that card".Dont worry...that card is a beast and its not the problem in this case, you already told us gpu usage was 40% at max. Download any kind of program that lets you test your pc on demanding situations...or just use msi afterburner+kombustor.

I didnt read any of the replies so i will just ask this.
Did you see the options on the Video tab that shows the maximum FPS you can have? That is probably why the max you can get is 120fps because that's the limit set on the ingame options.

[IamAlive]

I figured this out its your CPU which also my CPU too.
Dota2 only utilize 4 thread so its always max at 50% usage since your 3770k have 8 thread.

So in this case you need to get new cpu or overclock its to boost your cpu performance.

My 3770k get 80-120 fps too
but when overclocked to 4.3 i got 100-140 fps.
so i think you need like 4.5 - 4.7 too get 144 stable.

for reference i got
3770k
16 GB Ram
1060 3G

My 1060 only on 50% load so your 1070 is not the problem.
