New Gaming Rig Advice..

Was in a town, also drops sometimes to that when in some buildings. 1080p. On average I'm getting between 40-50.

BeadyRoller · 14 Jun 2017 at 16:52

That would be great if you could Plec to compare. That's why I'm hesitant to go 1440p as if it is dipping to in the 30's at 1080p it scares me it would go under at 1440p.

BeadyRoller · 14 Jun 2017 at 17:38

Ahhh so in 1440p more of the load switches to the GPU?

BeadyRoller · 14 Jun 2017 at 18:08

I have everything absolutely maxed.

Cheers Plec. That monitor has gone right up in price now it's back in stock

BeadyRoller · 14 Jun 2017 at 22:09

Haha. Performance on DayZ isn't great, people with Intel reporting 60FPS steady in cities and 100 out of cities. I'm getting about 30-40 in cities (feels very choppy though) and about 60-80 outside. Guess they haven't optimised for Ryzen CPU's yet.

I have no clue what each AA thing does either :confused:

I'll run the benchmark test now to see how we compare.

With VSYNC:

Without VSYNC:

You're getting nearly as good FPS as me and you're at 1440p!

BeadyRoller · 14 Jun 2017 at 23:26

Hardly touching my CPU is it...

BeadyRoller · 15 Jun 2017 at 11:02

Thing is mate I don't know what's good and what isn't really so I'll take your word for it! Having watched a few videos what I get seems to be the average for a 1070 so I'm happy, as long as everything is working as it should I'm good

Noticed on Wildlands that without V-SYNC I get lag spikes/FPS Drops but with VSYNC on they seem to be very very rare (even though I lose a few FPS).

Makes sense - that's the reason my gameplay appeared smooth. Although my FPS was relatively low it was pretty constant which may explain why it was smoother than i expected it to be - even though no V-SYNC.

So you didn't have V-SYNC on yet got smooth frames? Not quite I fully understand this sentence

BeadyRoller · 15 Jun 2017 at 19:22

I wonder why mine spikes without VSYNC on then?

BeadyRoller · 15 Jun 2017 at 19:25

Is yours installed on an SSD?

BeadyRoller · 15 Jun 2017 at 21:56

I THINK I understand. Is that where GSYNC would really shine? Moments like that?

This is on my wishlist.

Haha I'm trying to be good! But this GSYNC thing just seems right up my street. Making FPS drops (within reason) look smooth is all I want and this seems to be part of the answer. That and games should look glorious in 1440p!

At the moment on PUBG (I know, I know early Access) even an FPS drop of 15 - let's say 80-65 is very very noticeable and is a bit annoying. Same on DayZ as well.

Less than 10 days...

In hindsight i probably shouldn't have added the G-sync/Freesync advantages as a comparison in post #1567.

By the end of the weekend?

BeadyRoller · 16 Jun 2017 at 13:11

Haha. I'll try my best but I can't promise anything.

Playing Wildlands now.. noticed that the first 10 minutes I get lag spikes but after that they seem to disappear...

BeadyRoller · 16 Jun 2017 at 13:37

I don't need tempting Plec...

I get my most in the opening 5 minutes of loading the game up. I haven't had one now in the last half an hour. Noticed a similar trend every time I've played it.

Haven't really experienced it in any other game, it doesn't stutter so to speak like Wildlands, the FPS drops are noticeable, kind of goes in slow motion for a second then catches up.

Was thinking a SSD may help as it could be to do with loading stuff in as it's a big map but you said you didn't have any so I don't know.

EDIT - Haven't played GTA as I'm focusing on completing Wildlands first (like to do one game at a time). Don't have BF1 on PC, will wait until it comes down in price.
