Its arrived and installed. However when playing warzone I'm seeing it go from 160 fps to 120 fps and this 40 or so fps drop happens a lot.

Setup
10900k
2x montiors
cosair cooling
750w psu

Anyone any idea whats going on? Also seem to be getting what looks like lag.

It blows my mind that you can have such an expensive setup whilst having such an average PSU, a relatively cheap component.

Thass nice

This is a 3090 thread

Right, and my point was that the issue applies to other cards.

If you're clueless just keep ya mouth shut. Simples.

To be fair, the PSU could very well have been the contributing factor, you now have a new PSU which is more than sufficient.

When problem solving hardware issues it could be an endless list, I remember one of my rigs as a kid being really unreliable and the culprit was a DVD Rom drive, it took all kinds of hardware changes before it was figured out.

So if you're going to be the type of person to **** somebody off for a very plausible piece of advise, id suggest you don't ask again and maybe try and work it out yourself?

Tbh i'm using a 750W EVGA GQ gold rated psu and its perfectly fine. I'm pulling around 580-600w at the wall full tilt which gives me some measure at least so i know i have head room.

Despite what everyone says, you really don't need a 1000w psu for a 3090... its madness.

I knew it and I'm super glad about that as I have the exact same PSU as you! The fact I'm going 3080 too only means even more head room (albeit not by a lot but still).

Na the psu was never the issue. Having spoke to numerous places yesterday all confirmed my current psu was up to the job. Probably should have listened to people with knowledge not people just guessing.
Oh well was only 300 for a new psu I can live with that.
However I do feel for people that have followed similair advice that and jusy spent a few months savings on it.

On my new psu it has built in wattage display. On full I've only seen 590w max.

is he connecting the card with 2 seperate power connectors and not split ones? i seen another post on here that had a 3080 and was having fps problems and they were using split connections from the power supply not single ones.

They are split i believe.

3090s can pull well over 400 watts on their own, add in a power hungry 10900k and you are getting very close to the limit.

What can push you over the edge is as PSUs age their output reduces.

Far better to go with a bit of overkill and use at least a 1000W PSU with the above setup.

The other thing to remember is not all games and resolutions need the same amount of power to run, sometimes max settings and 2160p is a killer for PSUs.

Yeah that PSU you bought is nice I must admit. You could always return it though if it's not needed? Then again you drive a Mclaren so £300 is like £0.30 to yourself... lol. 720s?

That makes much more sense.

This^

The Asus Strix OC they used is straight out of the box, if it is overclocked to maximum it will use even more power.

SpartaP · 14 Oct 2020 at 10:03

I'm offended that my 9900kf isn't on that list of CPU's

CaptainRAVE · 14 Oct 2020 at 10:10

My 9700K is

A beautiful CPU

Stop taking cheap digs at the people trying to help you when you’re clearly not smart enough to fix it yourself.

Equally your PSU numbers won't show the transient amps which in this case is the issue and even those don't come up in the numbers. You'll see upwards of 450W JUST from the GPU at peaks.

I had an 850W Seasonic Gold PSU and I was getting RCD Resets (upgraded to a 1000W and no issues since), and while this hasn't fixed your issue, your system will thank you.

As for the issue, did you DDU uninstall the old drivers? And also reset your COD config.

SkeeterUK · 14 Oct 2020 at 11:18

Personally i reckon might be just the game needs patching or drivers so maybe play somit else that runs better.

Watching a streamer mess about with game settings sounds like an exciting night....

I'm quite a boring person. But living alone and having few friends (which we're not allowed to socialize with at the moment) has changed what I find entertaining.

Dude,

he's 'protips', drives a mclaren and talks sheet

Folk telling people to just chuck more money at it. Same as taking your car to a garage these days. No diagnostic ability, just keep swapping parts till it works and charge the customer. Same with gas 'engineers' etc etc.

Rated PSU's such as gold are efficient @ 90%+ load so that's where they want to be, near the limit. Platinum PSU's are just across a wider range of efficiency all to save 20 pence a year.
