tell him to run a benchmark test on this site and post it on this thread ,it would give a first glance on the problem ,it could be a bottleneck of some sort,the ddu is a possible solutions but we got little info to be sure,the hz on the monitor should only affect fps when vsync is on
No, and SLI isn't worth it anyway. Hardly any games benefit from it and others actually perform worse. Rune userbenchmark and see if any of your components are underperforming.
When I want to build a PC, I usually use this site (https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software) to assembly a build and test if it is matching what I want.
I don't think they have FFXIV there, but you can try find something similar or better to compare.
Ask seller to connect with you via TeamViewer, and to show you the hard drive, specs, settings, etc of the machine live.
Then have them run a benchmark, like from here live:
Pretty much three options as I see it: 1) You won the lottery, it is 16GB. 2)Low level bios/detection issue causing it to be picked up wrong. 3)High level/windows detection issue.
​
First, a sanity check: open the pc, take the ram out and read the small label. It's even less likely to be wrong than the box.
Second, run a standard benchmark. https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software is the one I use to make sure everything's running at a speed that I would expect. Should be pretty obvious how much ram you have.
Assuming results point to an actual problem:
Third, run the windows memory diagnostic. It's preinstalled and can be found with a quick search. Click the obvious choices and it'll do its thing. Should tell you what's up.
I know userbenchmark is not a good source, but we can use it as a tool to see if your RAM and CPU are boosting properly.
It will also let us know what your specs are. If you would, please run a userbenchmark test and share the resulting url. Don't worry about whatever scores there are.
Make sure to enable your monitor's highest refresh rate too.
Check the driver version of your GPU and update it if needed.
and i did use a benchmark online https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software too test it for u says its fine but i turned it back of bec it seems like it went unstable today
Hwinfo64 is good for monitoring temps. Lots of different benchmark programs for each part to test.
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
That's a common one used. Can also find other stress test programs like aida64 for longer term testing
Use this: https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software to benchmark your pc versus other pcs with the same hardware. I used this to realize I was reducing my GPU's performance by 3rd party software to the bottom 5%. Besides that, if you plugged in all the wires and installed your drivers you should be good.
yeah before you buy anything i'd go over everything. temps, usage during games, bios version, drivers, settings, etc.
​
something isn't performing like it's supposed to.
​
Userbenchmark may be a good place to start as well.

Download it and run it, could take a few minutes but right after it finishes it should take you to a web page with the status of your components. Hope it helps :)
No worries man! Everybody has a BIOS. It's essentially your system's settings. When you turn your computer on, it'll say at the bottom to press a specific key to enter the BIOS. Here, go to this link on your PC and run the benchmark. Then send me the link to your results. I can help you better if I know what you're working with. https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
3Dmark, there is a free demo but that's limited to just one type of benchmark if I'm not mistaken. It's on steam for $30,-. This is, in my opinion, the best one to test your hardware. It is a bit pricey if you are only going to use it once... But if you want to get into some overclocking then it will be definitly worth it.
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software Userbenchmark is free, you can compare your stats with people running the same hardware. So you can check if it's performing better/similar/worse.
What i7 do you have?
What type Ram ddr3 or ddr4?
Do you have an HDD, SSD, M.2 or a Hybrid drive?
Your just saying fast and slow about how long is it taking if it's over an hour that's not good.
I just installed Marvels Avengers and I think it's 118GB it took about 30 minutes.
You only have two options download from Fitgirl and you have to install it or download from Steamunlocked or GOGunlocked and you have to unzip it.
You can follow this link it will benchmark your computer and tell you what you can run or at least give you an idea.
If your not getting UFO or I think it's Battle Ship on the benchmark then you can't run AAA titles. It will also tell you what your components are and how well they are working.
Oh 100% it's the mods. You have an amazing graphics card and no amount of cores or overclocking will unleash it's full potential, at least in my experience and from what I've read. Your computer is fine. If you're worried you can always run a full benchmark to see how individual hardware are performing. https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Replacing RAM and hard drives is super easy with laptops. Many retailers allow you to look up your laptop and they'll show you what they sell that is compatible. Crucial, for example, has RAM and SSD options for your laptop : https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/acer/aspire-e5-575 If you're curious about corrosion on your motherboard or anything, don't be afraid to open it up and take a look. I poured a 650 mL bomber of beer on my old laptop years ago. With no experience, I opened it up and cleaned everything with q tips and isopropyl. You may also be able to identify which of your hardware is running poorly by running a full benchmark https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software. Finally, it's not out of the realm of possibility that the person who looked at your laptop fucked something up or replaced your RAM or hard drive with something shitty to compel you to take his services. His pricetag for a RAM replacement is a total rip off.
If you use an all-purpose PC benchmarking tool you should be able to see where the poorest-performing component is; that is, it'll show you where the biggest bottlenecks are. I've used this one in particular, personally, and it's kept me from dropping money pointlessly.
Gotta find the bottleneck. This could be several things:
- Graphics card
- CPU (unlikely that this is the problem i think yours is probably okay)
- Network
- RAM (again, unlikely. Gonna guess that you have 8GB which should be fine)
- Heat
- Disk speed (not relevant here)
Run some benchmarks at https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software to see what's causing the problem. You may need to update drivers for your network card or graphics card. If your comp is overheating, it could need the fan cleaned or to be placed in a better ventilated area.
For league, you can check to see what your FPS/Ping is in the top right. If ping is stable during the skillshot lag, it's probably your graphics card. If FPS is stable, it's probably your network.
That processor is not good and you have a single ram stick so are losing out on that.
Judging by the low budget equipment I would assume the ram is low speed too.
Try running this on your PC. It will tell you what is slowing down the system most likely.
I bet ya updated drivers would help a lot. You can also run something like the benchmark from https://www.userbenchmark.com to see if your parts are performing as expected. If something is out of line you can at least get an idea of who's got an issue and try to correct it.
At least you checked that, but it is misleading. Cpu usage is low because yuzu can't use most of your cores. It can only use like 3 threads, and will probably be a while before that gets better. It is probably using all of the cores it is using, but not all of the cores.
The gpu isn't fast by today's standards, but not it shouldn't be that speed.
As someone suggested, try asynchronous gpu.
But also: on nvidia contol panel set threaded optimization to on instead of auto. On all of your hardware set it to max performance instead of power savings (lots of things default to power savings and you have to manually switch things.)
It doesn't hurt to do a benchmark to see what is hurting you. Also, it can show if you aren't getting the performance you should be (for example, most ram isn't going at the speed it advertises until you overclock it.)
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Also, every game on yuzu (because you aren't limited to vulcan like ryzen is,) try it with opengl and also with vulcan. And be patient with opengl tbe first handful of minutes of gsmeplay. It is building shadars (running slower at first, so it can run faster and more steadily later by saving the things it is rendering so it doesn't have to re-render each thing.)
Run this tool: https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
It will benchmark each component and tell you how it’s performing compared to other systems with that part. You’re looking for anything that is performing vastly below expectations which tells you where to start troubleshooting.
I like to run UserBenchmark to see if all components perform as expected. You can also install MSI Afterburner and follow a tutorial to set up the onscreen display to monitor CPU and GPU temperature and utilization. Ideally your GPU should be under 75-80°C and at 99-100% load in gaming scenarios.
i7-7700k is fairly decent and should be able run Mordhau without problem. I recommend running UserBenchmark and see what it says about your CPU. If it's ''performing below expectations'' it will show you some of the probable causes.
You can also try this https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software It will tell you how your components are performing relative to other people with the same components? I use that and CrystalDisk to find and remove dying hard drives in all computers I look over
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Go to that site, and press "Free Download", then run the .exe it is downloading.
Be sure to run only this program while testing. That will give the best results.
When the test is done, your web browser will open. Copy the link of that page, and paste it here :)
What resolution are you playing on? Settings?
​
Have you tested thermals? Your GPU could be throtteling itself, potentially, I suppose.
​
Changed Windows settings to Maximum Performance?
​
Run a https://www.userbenchmark.com test and report back. It'll give us some idea.
Next step would be diagnostics. I'd run a few benchmarks and compare results to other users to see if one or more of your new components is possibly defective. Ideally you would run a diagnostic suite like PC Doctor, but that costs money. Maybe run Userbenchmark and compare your results to similar builds? It's not a perfect test, but anything more than 10% margin of error would be fairly revealing.
Another thing to try would be uninstalling your video driver with DDU while in safe mode, then reboot in airplane mode (or unplug ethernet/turn off wifi) to prevent Windows from auto-installing the graphics driver from Windows update. Then just run the driver installer from NVIDIA's website (which you should have downloaded earlier, can't download it in Airplane mode). This should rule out any driver related issues.
In a world full of tech gurus the one important suggestion hasn’t been made. Benchmark your PC and see if something is failing or causing problems.
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Also I would monitor your GPU temp and CPU temp. More than likely if you do indeed have 16gig instead of 8gig it will be an issue with the processor or gpu. If your gpu is fine, I HIGHLY recommend replacing the thermal compound on your old ass processor with something like an Arctic silver. Once again generic suggestion but over time that’s an issue that occurs and during high cpu loads it will cause issues.
I don’t believe it’s an issue with internet but you could also ping your data center as well and see if you are getting packet loss. Try and aim to do that during peak hours.
Update: Computer repair couldn't find any issues with the comp. Suggested I replace the GPU.
I just did a test on https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software and my GPU scored 115%
I don't want to buy another GPU just to have the same problem.
I tried to factory reset and it failed. WTF.
Have you run the https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software tool on it? I like this benchmarking service, so if it's not too much of an ask, I would welcome a couple of screenshots of the results?
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Does a bunch of random tests on your system components. It's mostly just for figuring out where to look if something is going wrong with the system more than anything specific. Pretty short test as well.
Looking at the benchmarks listed above and below you, it seems to be in the right range.
On the GPU side, a RTX 3070 Laptop GPU is between a RTX 2070 and RTX2080.
On the CPU side, the 5900HX is again between a i9-9900k and Ryzen 7 3700X
It’s in the right range (I don’t see how you are pushing 11k with this hardware), but that doesn’t mean it’s a good laptop. I can’t make the decision for you.
Try the (UserBenchmark Test)[https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software], it will give you a gage on where your laptop stands compared to other laptops. Or watch benchmarks of your laptop online compared to laptops with similar hardware.
Oh amazing. Yeah, never heard of OfferUp so i assumed it was like ebay or something.
I would say most importantly (if not done already), have the seller benchmark the entire pc with userbenchmark. Have them run the benchmark tool to see how the different parts are performing against others on the site. If they’re not up-to-par, consider replacing whatever it is sometime in the future it it starts becoming an issue.
That will be the bare minimum to let you know if a part is not what it says it is on the advertisement, or if something is really messed up.
Click around Jay's channel...he does a lot of benchmarking and talks about what means what. Once you run something, do a search to see what others get. You could also use this site, and compare to others:
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
It depends what you'll be doing with it. But there is a way to see what the system understands what the chip is - like on Windows going to My Computer, right clicking, choosing Properties should pull up basic info which will verify what processor your computer thinks you have. You can use the Resource Monitor to see how things are running. One problem is that every computer is different in terms of components and chip lotto, but you can at least verify your machine is telling you what it thinks it has (CPU, RAM, frequency, etc..).
Use this site to run benchmarks on your computer. Their software will detect/test your CPU as well as GPU.
Then use their build tool to compare what your performance could be with different components.
FWIW, I think any modern GPU you throw in that machine would be bottlenecked by the capabilities of your CPU and motherboard - just speculation based off of how old that card is.
Start fresh. Also it doesnt hurt to try this and see where your pc is at. https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software Its a free download that basically tests all the components of your pc and gives everything a score. Only takes a minute
It will not fix that issue unless something is wrong with the gpu. If you want to check that it’s running correctly run MSI afterburner with GPU utilization running. Then go to https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software and run that and make sure it tells you at the end that the GPU is running like it should.
The next thing you should do is get a second stick of the same Ram or a new pair of RAM. This could be the reason your performance marks are as low as they are but I can’t be for certain.
If you do all of this and none of it is still working or performing like it should, it’s most likely it’s a software issue. Maybe BIOs settings, maybe OS settings or something or some drivers are installed incorrectly or not at all.
Do the benchmark and share the result with us https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
you can compare the result with others and see if you have some bad component, or if it's normal performence.
It's unlikely your CPU is at fault here. The 11700k->10900k is 2 extra cores but that's not really important here in any meaningful way. You're likely better off figuring out what's going on with your system first before dropping a bunch of money. I'd run the userbenchmark test to get an overview of the system and then run a 3dmark test for your GPU and a cinebench R23 benchmark and check your system scores against others.
That's not normal. I was/am getting well over 300 on my setup. I know a 10700k and 3070 is faster, but not twice as fast.
Mind running the benchmark suite and posting a link? it might shed some light on what might be going on.
Like other person said, definitely check for XMP being enabled.
Also, did you install drivers?
As subjective as UserBenchmark results can be, running that benchmark will give you a good idea of what component is causing the lower performance. Give that a run and you'll narrow down the point of concern -
Looks like your score is pretty good, try using https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
And let’s compare results there as there’s more results to compare to
Also, what CPU does your friend have?
Different pins do different things, so it could force it to say, only use half the memory speed, or only use a little bit of power, etc. That said, really weird way to diagnose an issue. Try running this and posting the result- https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
as I wrote, it was the standardized userbenchmark test (link) as far as I know, the bench is the same on whatever you run it. It looks to run at a set resolution no matter the screen resolution, I think.
thanks for the reply
Double check at the back. Unplug all the monitor except one and have that plugged into the GPU slot. ( Not the motherboard). Send a picture if you can.
Edit: Also did you download the nvidia drivers from nvidia's website?
Download this and run it https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software . Send the link that it opens once the benchmark is done.
Is your RAM capacity and frequency reporting properly?
You can run a userbenchmark and share the resulting URL there may be a clue in the benchmark that can help troubleshoot. I wouldnt take the scores too seriously.
Userbenchmark test- https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software is a good website that i did research on for some parts, still is pretty handy for me as im looking for new parts now, they even have a ranking in all categories, cpu, gpu etc and shows how popular one part is.
UserBenchMark is the tool for that. Download it here: https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
After you run the quick test, it will take you to a descriptive web page on how your PC is performing and if it is doing as expected based on others results. :)
Psu is more than fine as your components are quite efficient and lower than expected performance is not usually a sign of needing more power, usually the pc just shutdowns under load....
​
The biggest culprit here is probably the cpu, i suggest using amd ryzen master or your motherboard tweaking tool to overclock the cpu to at least 3.8 ghz, to enable amd ryzen balanced power plan(as it has a minute effect in performance) and to push the ram as far as it will go, 3600 mhz is pretty much impossible on that cpu but i ve managed stable 3333 mhz at 1.38 on my 1700x.
​
However thats just my theory, i suggest you do a quick userbenchmark https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software to test whats going on with the pc, do send me the results
Sounds like maybe a hard drive issue, but who knows. Have you tried benchmarking to see where the bottleneck is? I like https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Also, Nvidia has Geforce Experience or whatever it is called that will keep drivers updated and recommend settings for your games.
Upping the graphics settings could help by increasing the load on the GPU. This could possibly reduce the average framerate, but reduce noticeable lag spikes as well. Another option would be overclocking to increase the CPU's performance.
In my opinion it's not likely to be damaged, it's just not the most powerful CPU anymore. Just to be safe, you can run this: https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software Don't pay attention to the raw scores, just look at the percentile expectations. If it's not drastically lower than expected, it's fine.
I agree that you've got a pretty good system there. It should have some good longevity.
You could always go to UserBenchmark and run their tool to get a breakdown. It benchmarks each component and rates each component against the other global users with similar components. https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
I would look at 3D Mark or any other free benchmark application you can download and run.
It’ll give you a score that you can compare to others (https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software)
Something is definitely up.
Go to https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software and run the pc benchmark and then post the results. It looks like a spam ware but it is super helpful to see what is causing the issue. Also check to see if your pc is using integrated graphics of your intel i7 or your 1060, just google is my pc using integrated graphics instead of graphics card.
No worries! https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software This is what I use. Hit the gold “Free Download” and run a couple tests. It’ll let you compare your PC to other Results of PC’s with similar or the same specs
You might be able to tell if there's an issue with one of your components by running User Benchmark as it provides warnings in the benchmark results if parts are under performing. That might be a relatively easy way of checking if anything is not performing.
Also super-duper obvious but gpu drivers are up to date?
I would firstly download DDU and run it if you havent yet, its essentialy a gpu driver uninstaller that goes much deeper than your usual control panel uninstaller and can fix many issues. Download the latest version, and make sure to run it while on safe mode and as administrator for it to work correctly. Select the NVIDIA drivers and click uninstall and restart.
Then download the userbenchmark software, it should be pretty straightforward and take about 2-3 mins. Post the results here with the link that it generates, like this one
Apex can run at 100 or so fps with the 9400F, so I'd be concerned something isn't working properly.
Troubleshooting to try right off the cuff:
- Make sure your memory is running properly. Make sure it's in the correct slots for dual channel performance (usually the 2nd and 4th slot from the CPU in four slot motherboards, but you can check your manual), make sure it's running as fast as possible with XMP or the like.
- Make sure the CPU is boosting as high as it should be. The 9400f boosts to 4.1GHz on one core or 3.9GHz on all cores. If not, your cooler may not be properly attached.
- Check to see if there is a more optimal version of your BIOS. This is not always necessary, there's no reason to update the BIOS just to be up to date, but some BIOS updates will mention performance in their patch notes and those should probably be done.
Userbenchmark has a benchmarking program that is good for this. It runs a synthetic test on your PC and compares your components to other people's same components. Userbenchmark is notoriously unfair when comparing different components against one another but that benchmark is useful.
If you are running a lot of other stuff at the same time it might just not be a powerful enough CPU for what you want. The i7 9700 is the step up that would give you more cores for other stuff. If you have a Z motherboard, unlocked CPUs would also be an option. Other upgrades would mean swapping out the motherboard.
Have you tried running a full benchmark test of your computer to see if anything comes back as faulty? If you possible get a moment, could you try and let me know what you get?
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
I've run a full Memtest overnight and received no errors, but when I run the user benchmark test it shows that my RAM is performing very poorly and might be faulty. I actually went ahead and purchased new RAM last night (should be here today) and will test again later today.
It's wierd to me that the userbenchmark shows my RAM in the extremely poor percentile, but every other games works perfectly fine except Guild Wars. Not sure if it's just a glitch from the test or if my RAM is actually at fault, but just to rule it out I'm going to be replacing it/
I think I found the problem but not sure is it true or not, I have noticed that my GPU run at 99% always along from the game start when those high end game started and with this PC build, when I try to measure my benchmark it can’t be measured when it’s came to the GPU process, so I think that it is heavily bottlenecked be fore it shut it selves down. I’m using this https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software for checking the benchmark.
Run UserBenchmark, ignore the results (not always reliable), but post the link here.
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
It will at least show your specs.
Follow this (https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software) to get a guide on how to see the specs of your PC and how it's running. If your system is older than the minimum system requirements that will be why. But it's most likely that you don't have a graphics card as the game won't work with integrated graphics and even if your gpu was a bit out of date it should still load just run badly.
run a benchmark here :
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
it will benchmark everything including your ram and hdd and compares it to other PCs with the same specs.
If you download and run a benchmark tool it may give you an idea where your problem is.
This is the one I like/use.
The 1600 series is for sure getting dated and I think we’ve got a little over a year until it’s just not going to be worth it. :( Anything in the 2000 will be noticeably better. I recently created a price alert for a few of the lower end 2000 gpu’s to find one on a quick discount and I actually got an alert on an MSI Ventus for 275! It’s still 50+ more that any 1600 but performance wise, I would splurge at that price difference! I just missed the email and it was too late :( that being said, I will likely go with a 1600 because I’m using the pc more for streaming and less for gaming (I’ve been streaming from an Xbox and it works ok I just want overlays!) Off topic a bit but check out userbenchmark to see the exact performance gaps in any gpu or cpu your looking at! https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Unfortunately with our budget it’s hard to get all the fancy toys but I hope some of the websites I recommend can help you do your own homework to see what right for you!
Good luck K9!
How much RAM are you running? How many screens and at what resolution? What games arr you playing that stutter?
I like to go to https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software and run their little program. It'll tell you how all your components are performing and what some logical upgrades to your system might be.
download hwinfo64 Screenshot everything including sensors and post the pics here.
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software post screenshots of your results from this benchmark as well.
Did you get your laptop new or used?
it may just be that your cpu is bottlenecking your gpu in 1080p. Do you have a higher resolution monitor/tv that you can try it on? It weird that your %'s seem flipped though. Which software are you using to monitor your cpu/gpu load?
You could run a benchmark on https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software and see how your cpu is comparing to other people with the same one, i like doing this every now and then.
I think I used this one https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software in the past. It should test different components and then show you results how they stack up to similar PCs. If there is a bottleneck, it should stand out in the results.
I understand you are NOW requesting a link, but the rules included in your PSA did not SAY LINK. "2. a full Userbanchmark Test of your system". Where is the word "link"? Maybe you should update that. Then you want to try and insult me by saying I can't read but you can barely type in English. All these hoops you make people jump through just for some help.
I'm assuming you're on 4k? You should be getting higher than that still. Also, what's a 2080 Ti Super.
Can you run the system benchmark from user benchmark. It might narrow down whats under-performing.
Maybe it's because you have a SLI setup and that might be causing the issue?
Have you checked if the motherboard shares bandwith and lowers channel speeds when more than 1 PCI-E X16 slot is used?
have you tried https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software to see if it picks up any issues?
was using this tool
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
​
Everything seems fine but I was a little worried seeing it "performing below expectations in the 5th percentile"
Can you provide link/specs for both devices you are looking at.
Also highly recommend using userbenchmark to compare the specs of both devices and to get a general idea as to how well each individual part will preform.
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Run a benchmark test, see how your harddrive that the game is installed on is performing. Mine was performing "extremely poor". I had to move everything off my 250gb SSD to just have enough room for COD.
See what you have running in the background, for instance Logitech game hub takes 10% of my cpu and I had no idea for months until I built an identical system for a friend and he got better performance, and if it’s been 3 years new thermal paste couldn’t hurt, also try a real bench mark not Xbox game bar, https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software, this will show you if your cpu is under performing
there's a benchmarking tool on their website here. Close everything you don't need open, then run the tests. It won't give us an answer, but it'll usually tell if what parts are under-performing so you can sort of figure out what is causing issues.
If the pc is built using pieces from different manufacturers its hard to find drivers for each one that is true especially if they didn't give you the info when you bought it.. But you can try this website it might be what you need : https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Use the following site to see if you have any faulty or bootleg hardware:
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Make an install USB of several distros, and boot to it to try it out. Debian based distros are the most n00b friendly.
Cheers!
Not necessary I'm right. But I expected due to power cable fell out.
You will need to check more than one thing, as freezing may caused by many reasons.
First check if win10 is updating or not. Major update was released few days ago and may be cause this freezing.
May be anti-virus making a scan.
Open task manager and try to see if something is high consuming CPU, HDD or RAMs.
If everything seems fine. Run this https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
to check the health of your parts & check results.
Then press win key> type windows memory diagnostic. Then check the result.
Be sure your CPU temp is in acceptable range.
All the above only related to freezing not the fans. If all the above are fine, I would expect PSU start failing due to the sudden fell out, sometimes may cause a problem.
And if your PSU is blocked (doesn't have enough ventilation due to carpet blocking it) that's also must be solved.
Does this happen lately? May be your win10 is downloading the new major update.
What about temps of CPU/GPU? specially CPU is few years old so may be thermal paste need to be renewed, but check the temps first.
HDD?RAM? check if it still healthy. https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
It will give you some results, not necessary to be so accurate, but try it and see.
If no one set it to 2666MHz via XMP OC, you're likely running it at 2133MHz. All RAM is marketed using its OC rated speed.
If you want to know what speed it's running, run this benchmark test and post a link to the results.
That is lower performance than you should have for your system.
Did you try this quide? https://youtu.be/omRFhicsLw0
I wouldn't expect full speed on that cpu, but I would think it could be in the 30fps range anyway.
Also, try benchmarking your stuff.

And don't expect opengl to work well for you. It works better than vulkan for most games, but your gpu has crap opengl drivers so you are pretty much limited to vulkan.
Is windows installed on the SSD? You have no obvious significant bottlenecks with those metrics. For more detailed ones, use Afterburner's overlay while playing a game that feels slow to you and report back with the max individual thread utilization, average fps, and what game.

Run that benchmark and post a link to your results. So far, I'm not really hearing anything that indicates a justification for why your PC would feel slow.
The one I use is:
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
It does a few tests on your hardware and compares the results to other users with the same components. There may be better benchmarks but this one should work for what you're looking for. There is also one on the microsoft store called Cinebench.
Is Vsync turned on or off in the settings of your games? (You will have to check the settings of every game since they all are different.)
There may be a storage space issue.
I recommend running a userbenchmark and sharing the results, this will help us by showing us your specs and giving us a little bit of information about the status of your PC's components. Do not worry about the scores just do the test and share the resulting URL.
Both your cpu and you are very budget options, especially if your not overclocking well. Like I said benchmark it and compare against not only what others score with the same hardware but your setup as a whole. I am certain it will be your hardware is insufficient, what you describe is exactly what it does.
What you can do is limit your FPS in game which will allow more power for your obs to do its job. When I’ve reloaded obs suffers first and in desperation the game suffers.
Here is a link for bench mark if you are unfamiliar benchmark
if you're wondering how your system is performing, you could run the userbenchmark test and get results against other people who've run it with the same hardware.
If you're in 30-70% range then your hardware is performing about as well as you should expect.
excuse my limited knowledge here; i just used this site (https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software) for a very quick benchmark test and it nearly crapped it during one of the tests but stabilised and recovered. it gave a pretty decent result for most parts with the exception of the graphics card which was just 1 percentile above poor ( card is Nvidia GTX 760 ). Would the lack of proper cooling influence this result at all?

I really appreciate your help here, I'm no good at trawling through pc stuff beyond the rudimentary hahaha
Try checking either FPSVR or steam's builtin Advanced Timing Graph and seeing if it's your CPU or GPU that's causing the high frametime, first of all.
I can't remember exactly which spot(s) exactly but check around to make sure something isn't trying to supersample super high -- SteamVR sees my 1070 and auto adjusts to 80% SS or so, perhaps it's seeing 2080S and setting it to 200% for better visuals but similar frametimes as you used to have.
Other than that you can run UserBenchmark's tester just to make sure nothing's falling on its face.
> I ran crystaldiskinfo and it says the health status is 100% good. Do I need to be running it in the background to see if something is going on when the computer bugs out?
No, you don't. The drive takes measurements or values when its turned on and saves them.
> I usually scan my computer using Kaspersky's free version. I've been told the free version is pretty solid.
Nothing compares to adwcleaner and malwarebytes for malware, spyware, ransomware, etc... Also, both programs are free (you can use the free version of malwarebytes)

Run some benchmarking software that tests the graphics card: https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software and see if it does it when it does the graphics tests.
It may be the motherboard (would be rare) or the power supply if its not the graphics card.
Are you sure that your monitor is plugged into your RX 580 and not into the motherboard?
Run this test https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software and tell us your results (post a link to the results page)
https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
Download the software from this site and run it. It should compare your results to other users with the same specs. If OP is still having problems then PM me for discord

Your board needs to be a over clocking board to take advantage of a k series CPU Also don't think your board supports the ram your using up to its rated speeds 🤔
It shouldn't be bottlenecking on the cpu, though I wouldn't expect it to hold full speed 9n that cpu (though it should get there a decent portion of the time.)
Pokemon sword is only 30fps, so you are still halfway there.
Do you have anything set to power efficiency or power saving? I think a lot of times those are set as defaults on hardware and you have to manually turn it to high performance.
Maybe try benchmarking tonsee if a part is going slower than it should?
first of all, take a deep breath and relax.
Secondly, go on here and download and run the installer, then post the results as a reply, this will tell us what hardware you have and how it's preforming.
Third, and probably most important, if not long has passed since you got the computer (usually under 2-3 years) you might have warranty from the place you got it. You could take it there for an inspection, usually free of charge.
First suggestion would be to reseat everything. Maybe start with just PSU connections, but ideally remove every component (except for CPU and its cooler) and plug them back in nice and firm. Solves many weird issues, especially ones that pop up after fiddling with hardware.
Also a good tool for finding problem parts is the UserBenchmark testing program. Tests your components one by one and lets you know how each is doing compared to others like it, so if it says your RAM is performing at only 20% compared to the same kit that others have tested, maybe something got messed up with a stick during the PSU migration, somehow. Heck, maybe start with this even.
^(UserBenchmark gets a bad rap for misrepresenting CPU performance figures, but this doesn't have anything to do with that.)
Thats a bit weird but do you have a benchmark of a more recent game? Cs can be run on a toaster lol.
I also reccomend getting something that allows you to stress test and reference other benches. This one is an ok start to check if ur gpu is performing badly. Just make sure everything else is closed first. https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
I wouldn't bother, just save your money for your next full upgrade.
Is your performance that bad? A 5700XT should be more than enough for Fortnite even at high resolutions or high refresh rates
Go run the benchmark software below and see if you're actually in range of what you're supposed to be getting
