Resolution and minimum framerates

3D Mark was going cheap on Steam so I got it. Compared my results with someone who had similar specs but a 3080 GPU



Looking at a 38% increase in graphical performance if I got a 3080 That should get be back on track as my pixel count has gone up by around that percentage aswell

I overclocked my GPU by just 20Mhz and now I'm getting solid 100+ FPS with same graphics settings I had before. How can just 20Mhz make such a big difference? Shall I overclock the VRAM too?



Here's a vid too:

Also noticed GPU usage sits at 97% almost constantly so seems like this site overclock has kicked my GPU up the butt lol Temps never go above 60c too

Decided to see how far I can OC my card. Found this article: https://www.msi.com/blog/get-a-free-performance-boost-with-afterburner-oc-scanner

After running the OC scanner my computer reboots on test 2. What could be causing this?

Your CPU is what's holding you back currently then, it'll probably struggle with any 1440p related tasks so improving its performance helps your GPU do its job.

But notice the cpu usage in game is around 47%? So surley it can't be a bottleneck

I see thanks for the explanation. I'm going to try Overclocking the card and see how COD Cold War reacts. Currently got a few settings in game set to low and its bugging me lol

You need to have vsync on in conjunction with gsync to eliminate screen tearing

really? since when!? I've always had VSYNC off since GSYNC is matching the refresh rate of the monitor to the FPS I'm getting :/

 

[elrasho]

If you have vsync off, if the frame rate goes above the max for the monitor it’ll tear

Yes just read this article https://uk.pcmag.com/pc-games/132126/how-to-set-up-nvidia-g-sync-for-smooth-tear-free-pc-gaming

So ideally you want GSYNC and VSYNC ON and set in game frame limiter a few frames below the maximum refresh rate of the monitor. Going to have a play with this tonight.

Mine never tears with Vsync off and 200fps on a 100Hz monitor. VSync, GSync, input lag and tearing is just a whole other can of worms.

Same here

Tested on Rainbow Six Seige and it's a stuttery mess, think gsync and the in game vsync don't like each other.

However on COD Cold War it's amazing. Really buttery smooth
