Low FPS on my first pc i built yesterday

[Ninov]

Reading through the thread , I was amazed nobody was mentioning that!

I've no experience with overwatch, but I'd imagine on-board graphics aren't going to give great fps.

This is why i figured it should work.... although he has 3300 ram

I figured it would give me decent fps because there are some people who tested in themselves, and they got nice fps at high-medium settings in 1080p

I tried playing a bot match after setting my ram to 2400Mhz, but it still was around 30-40 fps with 1080p annd all settings on the lowest and the framerate at 75% (50% is just too blurry)

He is using 2400MHZ RAM and full resolution scaling on medium. This video also has the 2200G with 2400MHZ RAM and an A320 motherboard:

25FPS to 35FPS on 1080p Ultra. 2400MHZ RAM at 1080p with 75% resolution scaling:

Above 60FPS.

Edit!!

Have you tried setting the VRAM amount in the BIOS??

Exactly, so i dont get why i only get 30-40 fps using the LOWEST settings

The APU has 512MB,1GB and 2GB VRAM settings - try increasing the VRAM allocation setting??

Also if you run the game at 720p are the framerates the same as when you run the game at 1080p??

It's already on 2g, and the switch from 720p to 1080p is noticable

OK,it might be a silly question - is the RAM correctly installed?? To run in dual channel mode,you need to install the RAM in alternate slots. In a number of motherboards it is indicated by a colour change in the slots,which is for each dual channel grouping:

Also how do the temperatures look?? Is the cooler making good contact with the CPU??

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

You are running 1080p with a 75% render scale. That means the game is actually rendering internally at less than 1080p,which should in theory be less taxing.

Have you tried the game with render scaling switched off?? Does that do anything?? Is there anything like forced AA,etc being pushed on the game via the AMD drivers?? I know you can do something like that with the Nvidia control panel. That would make the game more taxing for example.

This is a picture of inside my computer
I did a stress test, and the temperature stayed low

I don´t really know what taxing means, or forced AA? (Sorry still a nooby).. i will try turning off render scaling

I would move one of the the RAM sticks to an alternate socket and that should help,as I suspect the RAM is running in single channel.

Taxing means demanding. AA means antialiasing and that imposes more of a GPU load.

It worked!!! I placed my ram in slot 1 and 3 and i am getting 70-80-90 fps in medium settings !!!

thank you SO much!!!!

A brilliant result!! I did look at the manual for your motherboard and ASRock does not say anything about how to install RAM in dual channel and the motherboard also has all black RAM slots too,so its an easy mistake to make if you have not built a PC before.

CPU-Z can also always say whether the memory sticks run in dual or single, or triple, or quad channel:

its an apu … :/ I thought everyone was well aware of that hence why weve been speeking about ram speeds

 

[angel102]

Yes

even the very cheapest gt 1030 (£65-ish) will destroy integrated graphics if you are on a strict budget and not playing triple A games with high or ultra level graphics settings.

Worth looking at if all else fails.

This is why I love this community !!!

Yeah ram slot 1 and 3 is for dual channel, i had to read my motherboard manual to know this,

Anyways Glad you got this sorted,

Edit,

Well it is a good thing that @CAT-THE-FIFTH asked that very simple question about your ram, since you did a newbie mistake but anyways enjoy your system because otherwise it would have been over looked upon.

Plus from what i have read, your motherboard manual did not make it clear about running ram in dual channel as you are now.

He would be better off saving up a bit more for something like a 1050 ti if he wanted a gpu. The GT1030 is a bad choice in any case. The performance isn't much better than the APU that he already has.
