Hi all I have been having an issue with my etup for few years never bother me but I came a point when it just starts to get annoying. I'm running
I7 4770k
Asus strik 1080ti
16bg ram 1600mhz ddr3
Msi z97 gaming 7
Corsair h60
750pw supperflow
144hz monitor
G synk off temp are normal.
I have been experiencing a lot of fps drops in games, I have played valorat a lot and my fps go from 200 to 90 when there is more things on the screen. When I press TAB in game the fps drops to 50 fps. Its struggling to keep stable fps which it should not. All driver are upto date I have freshly installed windows, does not help. Anyone have any idea.
At this point I'm really thinking of upgrading to new cpu. Was thinking amd ryzen 5 3600.
Please help.
 
Not with this little information.
On a whim I guess I'll suggest checking thermals, re-pasteing and ensuring XMP is turned on.

If you're taking the trouble to update your CPU, I'd go for something a little higher end than a 3600 though, it won't be a significant upgrade gaming wise.
 
Since when?

Depends on the clock and what RES he games at.

The April KB update for Win 10 caused gaming performance loss for many including myself since I am on DEV builds I do not have the KIR fix yet.

Well I have posted this issue back in 2015 on this forum back than I had a different motherboard and a gtx 970, since then I have upgraded the GPS and changed the motherboard. And that didn't work

I have change the paste before that didn't work. Change the cooling from air to the corsair one still nothing , I had different motherboard changed that I had different GPS upgraded that too, still same issue
Hmm OK, what cpu would you recommend, I'm willing to spend max £500 that's pushing it.
 
Was it working okay before?
A new cpu would certainly help, the 4770k is veeery slow for a 1080ti.

I sort of agree with this. I remember I had a 1080ti with a 4790K, and it was definitely limited. When I upgraded the CPU there wasn't a huge increase in highest FPS but there was a pretty substantial increases in the lowest FPS. You could rephrase that as far less FPS drops in-game.

But I am not sure that is OP's problem. OP's problem sounds more like a software issue, perhaps something to do with Windows or an application that's running in the background. I would certainly go down the route of trying to find out if the dips in preformance are due to apps. Take a look in Task Manger Performance maps to see if you can see anything happening.

could it be that my RAM is damaged and not performing up to its standard, i have replace all components except the RAM. changed MOBA, gpu and had a replaced CPU.
 
Rather than spending cash on old components to paper over the cracks an upgrade to an 11400F B560 and 16gb of ddr4 for around £300 would be a better long term solution especially since you could sell the 4770K MB and ram for around £200 so makes for a cheap upgrade.
 
so i have monitored my CPU usage and temps, the usage is 45-50% when playing valorant and temp 45-55. so not bad,. there is no background app running i turn off discord, NVIDIA experience and any other overlay that keep interfere. and still the same issue occur.

If you can stretch to a 5600x that + a B550 board will be a strong choice. You're paying £100 more, but you'll be getting a CPU which is near the top of the line, and will survive 1-2 generations longer than a 3600.

At such high fps it could definitely be that CPU bottlenecking. Look at how much each core gets used as valorant is pretty single thread intensive I believe.
