Why am I getting low fps in Warzone/Fortnite on LOW settings? My pc specs are as follows Geforce RTX 3070 (overclocked with msi afterburner), Ryzen 9 3900 (over clocked to 4.25Ghz), MSI B450 Gaming plus max motherboard, 16GB 3600mhz Ram. This results in me getting 90fps on the lowest settings in warzone and fortnite. I have adjusted all my settings in-game as well. Any help would be much appreciated. (Note: All my components temps are fine). Yes Vsync is switched off. And I've noticed people with similar specs as me are getting around 160-170fps - what am I doing wrong. I've followed a million fps boost guides - changing my Nvidia control panel settings but nothing has helped, I am honestly get so frustrated at the moment as I have tried EVERYTHING including reversing my overclock. NOTHING has worked. (Note: My monitor is 1080p @ 240hz)

Edit: It does sometimes go to 100fps.
 
1) Do a clean reinstall of drivers and make sure you erase old ones.
2) Check two separate plugs from power supply to video card.
3) Identify power supply, because some people just plonk in a video card and expect it to run on a basic 350 watt budget model.
4) Check if graphics card is seated correctly.
5) Is RTX enabled in any game??? That will slow an RTX card right down.
6) Enable DLSS if available.
7) Reinstall Windows may assist but unlikely.

I would run a benchmark to make sure you're getting similar scores to other people, it may then indicate which is underperforming.

I just ran Furmark and Superposition my results are as follows:

- Furmark gpu stress test (ran for 7 minutes on 1080p): FPS(min:219, max:228, avg:224)

- Superposition fps benchmark test (ran on 1080p DirectX): Scored 22145 (min: 110.61, avg: 180.63, max: 233.83

I can find some extreme 1080p scores and they're between 8500 and 10000 (with a big overclock).

I have no idea why the score was that high, seemed quite strange to me as well when I clicked compare results and I saw people with much much better specs than me only scoring around 18000. Do you perhaps think I should re-run the test?

I can only imagine you weren't running it at the extreme setting?
