Low FPS/horrible performance with new build

[TwigBird]

EDIT: Gpu was faulty and is being replaced, thank you all for your suggestions anyway! I tried it all

I hope this is the right place for this. But I got my first pc put together today, and I was under the assumption the build was good but games are running at 5fps and look like a slideshow, even on loading screen. The mouse stutters too.

The cpu is amd ryzen 5 7600x, the graphics card is 4070 super, 32 gigs ram, motherboard is b650 x ax v2. Windows 11 home. Audio on headphones is also very poor and laggy/static feedback. Task manager says I’m only using 32% of memory, 40%-50% cpu on Call of the Wild for example. Ultra low settings do not help the lag/fps.

What are your temps?

I have questions here, did you build from old/used hardwares/UNKNOW MANUFACTURES? Did you using NVIDIA gpu instead AMD i-gpu? Meaning you pluged HDMI/Display port on NVIDIA gpu?
Did you update to latest drivers? You mentioned audio issue here. Also you may try verify the game or re-download and verify the game may fix.
Did you turned off V-Sync in-game? Good day!

Nothing old or unknown I believe! And yes the hdmi is plugged into the nvidia gpu. All drivers, windows 11 all up to date. I haven’t messed with anything in game yet because I can barely click on anything with how laggy it is :(

Why are you using HDMI with RTX 4070? If your monitor has DP port then use DP cable.

I’m new to it all, I just used what was included with the monitor. I’ll check to see if it has that port though

Something is obviously wrong with something in your PC.
It can be very hard to diagnose sometimes because it could be a ton of different things.

You could try removing the 4070 and testing the computer with just the integrated graphics.
You could try swapping around your RAM to other slots.
You could wipe it and doing a fresh install of Windows.

If you want to start going down the rabbit hole these flow charts may be of use to you:

It is entirely possible that you just got a defective part, like a messed-up motherboard. Sometimes you can just be unlucky.

your RAM, need to set XMP

[Guydodge]

not a AMD fan but i know memory is a huge factor do you have the correct type of RAM

What was your current resolution in Windows? What monitor are you using right now? What was in-game resolution settings?
Did you locked frequency around 30 Hz on monitor? <= I could have some splitscreen PS4 feeling/effect back in days of LAN PARTY. I mean no offense but it could caused symptons like dizzy or changing your view distance...

Did you install correct driver for your AMD motherboard? If so, can you list a driver names?

[Wichtelman]

he should run a benchmark software to check which part does not run properly

[Jamebonds1]

Passmark demo may able to find issues.

7600x has an igpu, make sure the display is plugged into the dedicated gpu not the mobo

Few possibilities that come to my mind:

- HDMI cable inserted into motherboard port instead of GPU port
- NVidia drivers not installed
- Used wrong PCIe port for the GPU - it must be the top one
- Wrong port used for RAM - it must be 2nd and 4th port. 2 RAM sticks only.
- EXPO profile on is advised.
- Missing motherboard drivers
- Bad cooling on CPU
