Poor performance even on 9900K and RTX 2080?

[Aliquis Freedom & Ethnopluralism]

Hi. A guy I know has bought a new machine but he complain how in some comp game he got drops to 20 or 30 fps or whatever at some point.

It seem like he run the RAM at XMP settings so unlikely terrible.

Is the game performance nowadays so bad that even on such systems you may notice some stuttering or is it more likely some driver issue with his setup? (Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master, Intel i9 9900K, MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio, ThermalTake View 71, some Corsair H115i or whatever Pro cooler, EVO 970 and so on.)

It's something on his side. With even the worst set up, you still can not hit 20-30 FPS constantly.

Assuming he's on Windows 10, try having him disable Xbox Live Game Bar.

It's not constantly. It's temporary stuttering / drop in FPS.

I played on AMD Phenom X4 9850 and the worst frame-times I got was above 500 ms which is equivalent to 2 FPS for that single frame but that wasn't a consistent issue more like having 60-120 fps while playing and then a single frame taking 1/3-1/2 of a second to show up.

I don't know how his experience is but it could just be that one single frame happen to take 30-50 ms for him at rare cases.

Before he had weird network behavior in Windows too though so it could possibly also be a thing there where the game didn't received any data for some while. I'd assume it would still render graphics then but just catch up in animation / positions / events later. I don't know how his experience has actually been he's just told me and it didn't seemed like he wanted to make a post himself due to the risk of getting "toxic" replies.

I've already told him about disabling the Xbox stuff. I doubt he have then again I haven't seen any warnings about that from CS:GO lately. It's still a problem?

Does he have the monitor plugged into the motherboard or the video card?

I've had the same issues since panorama update so I'd say it's the game.

It's most likely you.

It’s usually this. If you are using a VGA cable, the 2080 doesn’t even have one. You’ll need an HDMI or Display Port adapter to connect to the monitor.

does he have a good monitor to that could be another problem in itself

RTX and using vga cables? my sides man people do this?

VGA is usually the preferred option when you're going for a wider range of colours or using CRT monitors.

I use a CRT monitor for the extreme wide range of colours and high refresh rate. Also using VGA.

Im on a low end laptop with intel graphic card and i get 40 fps so it somting on his side

I'm well aware of that problem and I've linked him guide for changing what's used in Nvidia settings too.
And he's run 3Dmark and I've got him to run userbenchmark too. He get ~100 fps in GTA V all at highest with 2560x1440 resolution but below 60% GPU utilization however it seem like virtual core 3 (core 2 thread 1?) has about 80% CPU usage but that was including Discord screen share too so I guess maybe he become CPU limited to ~100 FPS in GTA V even though i9 9900K?
Anyway he of course wouldn't get 100 fps all highest 1440p on onboard graphics so that we can rule out. Also according to MSI Afterburner his GPU run 1935 MHz or so so above the claimed OC boost of 1800 or whatever so that also seem fine.

Maybe. Since the network was acting strange at first too I would just had reinstalled Windows as well just to kinda rule out some update or driver or whatever ♥♥♥♥♥♥ things up once.

He has a 1440p monitor not 90s 15" Belinea CRT monitor.

In GTA V case if it's 100 Hz with V-sync on yes but not for CS:GO stutter / pause.

VGA isn't a preferred option.
A CRT monitor today would be very old and likely don't have all that much brightness left and IPS especially with quantum dot or the backlight used for AdobeRGB color space likely support a wider color gamut too. CRT likely win in response time but that's all.
No he don't use a VGA CRT monitor with his RTX 2080 and i9 9900K ...

He don't average 40 fps though he just got killed in last round in 1on1 clutch and want to blame the machine ;) <3

I assume your CPU should be fine but just drop all settings to low unless you already have and I assume it will run pretty well? 200+ fps?
