Low FPS on all games after connecting to TV

[jmanz96]

I have an issue where I am getting 10 - 15 fps on all of my games

My gaming PC was working perfectly on my MSI 32 inch 170 hz monitor.

I connected the PC to my LG 4K Smart UHD TV as I like to play on a TV screen.

It was working fine at first, and I adjusted a few settings on the TV such as picture quality, sharpness and putting the TV onto game mode.

Then I updated the graphics drivers and now I get a very low 10 - 15 fps.

I connected the PC back to MSI monitor and still get a low fps.

I have tried lowering the picture quality but the 10 - 15 fps is the same on very low picture quality and very high picture quality (tested on games like Skyrim modded and Witcher 3 modded).

Some of the things which I have tried and have not worked:
* Reverted back to old drivers
* Reinstalled new drivers
* Ensured correct display settings on PC
* Uninstalled AMD Adrenaline and just the drivers
* Checked HDMI cable
* Any basic settings that improve FPS like changing resolution or lowering picture quality settings.

I have checked the GPU 1 performance whilst playing the Witcher 3 and GPU usage is 100%, temperature 35 - 45, around 30 wattage

Any ideas on what the issue could be would be appreciated.

My PC specs are below:

Scan Computers Intl Ltd 3XS Melius Gaming PC
Radeon RX 7800XT
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU
2 TB SSD
32 GB DDR5 RAM
ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI

Thanks

could be the amd freesync fukup? try turn off or turn on, and on amd adrenaline Display go check
current link setting, usually if 170HZ you using, should be around 5.7x4 or maybe more
and check your display adapter properties on windows, check list all modes

Thanks, tried turning it off and on but no luck. Will have a look at the Display in adrenaline.

Did you plug the hdmi cable into your motherboard? Instead of your graphic card? This would cause low performance because the onboard gpu is being utilized instead of the real gpu.

not many tvs support gsync/freesync

odds are you plugged a display or tv into the mobo not the dedicated gpu

Two options come to my mind:

1. After upgrading the drivers, Windows may try to enforce 4K resolution whenever possible. Some games will enforce 4K output only and let to adjust FSR scaling only. Check if you can change to 1080p or 1440p in windows and game settings.

2. The second possibility is that Windows damaged the drivers. Using DDU app to reinstall drivers may help but not always. Also make sure screen recording is not on.
If screen recording makes a difference in performance it can be a sign of faulty drivers/windows. In such case you may need to reinstall the whole system.

Thank you so much, this was the issue. Can’t believe I missed this.

Thanks for the help, I simply didn’t plug the hdmi into the GPU, plugged it into the motherboard instead.
