Warzone - PC Struggling Advice needed

Nareik · 1 Jan 2021 at 14:02

Hello, I currently have the following set-up Intel I5-7400 & GTX 1060 3GB. I have been able to run many games on low settings with smooth gameplay, I like to play call of duty titles.

Recently, my PC performance has drastically lowered and I'm unsure why. I have preformed a factory reset and installed only the games I play, I have updates my graphics card drivers and I seem to get anywhere between 2 - 45 FPS now playing warzone, with massive spikes up and down. I understand overtime my rig will deplete in performance but this seems to be a drastic drop, I have seen videos of the same combo on youtube reaching a pretty steady 65 FPS.

I will leave some Gyazo Links to display the computer performance at various stages.

Looks very very obvious from the first two pictures, you hard disk usage is at 100%
That will bugger everything up if it stays that high all the time.

Need specs.

Hello, What exactly do you need? Sorry Im fairly new to all this.

The Disk usage seems to spike massively even when I don't seem to be doing a huge amount. However when I open something it does seem to spike to 100% or very close too it, and will sit there for a little while and eventually drop down.

I close everything when I play a game so it's literally just the game running.

Thanks for the reply.

This is what shows when I look at the disk through task manager:

What hard drive do you have? Could be a failing disk

But your asking a lot from a 1060, I'd have thought.

What ram is in the machine, hard disk or SSD? windows version , virus check ect...
Cant even begin to work out what it wrong unless you provide more details.

My bet is its an ancient old pc with 4gb of ram and a spinner as a disk, its struggling with modern OS and SW.

It's got 8GB of ram, it's a 1TB HDD (No SSD) Windows 10 home, 64 bit, Intel Core i5-7440 CPU @ 3.00GHZ GTX 1060 3GB

Run CrystalDisk on your hard drive, something is wrong here

This is what comes up when I run it, I've never used it before so not sure if there is something specific I need to do:

I had similar fluctuations as you in warzone, more ram stopped it for me
