Hi,
I have a Predator Helios 300 PH317-53 with 32Gb RAM, an i7-9th gen CPU, RTX2060 on windows 10. Since 2 months I'm having terribly low fps on the only game I play (Eve Online) and have been looking to solve it since then.
When I run the game 'optimized for quality' I get 10-15fps; CPU is at 10%, 60°C and 4GHz; GPU is at 100% load, 50°C and 300MHz core clock. Overclocking speeds up the fans but does nothing to improve fps nor core clock.
When the game is 'optimized for performance' I get >120fps (which shortly drops to 60fps every 10 seconds); CPU at 10-20% load, 60°C and 4GHz; GPU at 100% load, 50°C and core clock at 300MHz.
Furthermore, using the high quality setting, I have tried various thing to improve my fps:
- updated windows
- updated nvidia drivers
- forced the game to run on the RTX2060
- updated the bios
- played around with nvidia settings
- optimized windows for gaming
- plugged in two RAM chips (total 32Gb)
- uninstalled and re-installed predator sense
- tried MSI afterburner (which didn't seem to do anything for me)
All these have not shown any improvement in my fps or the performaance of the RTX2060.
Strangely enough: occasionally when I play I am suddenly getting high fps even in high quality settings (>90fps) but these mostly don't last long and fps drops back to <15 within 20 secs. Although it once lasted for a couple of hours. Unfortunately I didn’t check the GPU core clock during that time.
I installed HWiNFO to see the sensor status of the RTX2060 and, while not running anything else, it says that the performance limit - power is currently 'yes'. Moreover, also the minimal, maximal and average values are 'yes'.
I wanted to insert an image here but the message body was going to be too long then.
My questions is : Could the 'performance limit - power' setting be the cause of the low fps, preventing the GPU core from throttling up under load, since it's values can only be 'yes' ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
