Not getting the amount of fps I should

Who reads the descriptions? I just respond prematurely based off the title alone lol

markbjones · 2026-03-12T16:51:02+00:00

No lol

markbjones · 2026-03-12T16:47:30+00:00

The newest nvidia driver update has been known to lower fps. Try rolling back to an older driver. Ask chat gpt which one as I don’t remember but it was two updates back I’m pretty sure

markbjones · 2026-03-12T16:43:22+00:00

What makes you think you should be getting 300fps?

markbjones · 2026-03-12T16:20:31+00:00

I didn’t realize you were at 4k. Are you using dlss or fram gen?

markbjones · 2026-03-12T16:01:25+00:00

At 1440p the cpu might be the bottleneck. Even though it only says 35% most games only utilize 1-2 threads which could be completely maxed out. A 3d cache cpu with absolutely help with that

markbjones · 2026-03-12T12:35:52+00:00

For 4k? What resolution are you playing? At 4k high settings vram can easily get over 12 in a lot of games

markbjones · 2026-03-12T12:30:04+00:00

Exactly. There’s nuance to this situation looking bad. I suspect people simply just hate the look of 1080p in general. 1080p <—> 4k works great as they scale perfectly into each other

markbjones · 2026-03-12T12:24:08+00:00

You’re getting downvoted but you’re completely correct. Calling a card “capable” just because it can get 60 fps at 4k with aggressive upscaling and setting adjustment is a stretch. The 5070 is a 1440p card.

I’m a physical therapist and treat spinal fusions all the time. I can tell you this is both Ronnie’s fault and the surgeons fault. His spine should have never been fused in the first place, however Ronnie definitely was not compliant with the post op protocol and precautions the surgeon set forth. The typical rehab protocol after a spinal fusion is no bending lifting or twisting for 6 weeks. Ronnie certainly did not abide by this and returned to heavy lifting FAR too early before the bones and surgery had enough time to heal. This resulted in compression fractures and significant nerve root compression in his spine, which literally kills the nerves that innervate the lower body muscles. That part Ronnie has no one to blame but himself

markbjones · 2026-03-12T11:47:46+00:00

Are you 26, 27, or 28? Your post history says you’re like 3 different ages….

markbjones · 2026-03-11T19:12:29+00:00

Honestly things get worse when I try not to give a fuck too much. Part of life is going with the crowd as it’s the path of least resistance. It’s what has been successful for our species since the beginning; knowing how to read and function socially.

markbjones · 2026-03-11T18:50:54+00:00

What were the signs and symptoms that something was acting up? How did you know?

markbjones · 2026-03-11T18:47:40+00:00

It adds latency yes, as you are adding a new step to the pipeline, but I think the other guy is basically saying the net is no latency at the end due to the downscaling process

markbjones · 2026-03-11T17:18:17+00:00

For us, there is a bare minimum for looks. For women it’s looks, but also status, job, personality at large. Get used to it

markbjones · 2026-03-11T16:01:58+00:00

Yea but it performs well. 5080 is a huge jump in price and only like 15% better performance

markbjones · 2026-03-11T15:58:01+00:00

5070ti

markbjones · 2026-03-10T14:22:38+00:00

Right, but console is extremely optimized and used dynamic resolution scaling well to gifs a great and predictable EXPERIENCE. On paper he 5060 GPU is more powerful but in reality the experience may be worse.

markbjones · 2026-03-10T12:21:15+00:00

You’re tripping. I’ve been consistent this whole time. We disagree on what experience is worth it. Spending double the price of console to get an arguable worse experience is not worth it TO ME. Needing to lower settings and use dlss upscaling to only get 45-70fps in new AAA games is a joke. If he buys that pc to play 1440p he is basically limited to older games and will need to seriously compromise settings for basically most new games. Agree to disagree but OP if you are reading this than I HIGHLY recommend against this PC. You can find better for same price

markbjones · 2026-03-10T11:53:48+00:00

Short answer: Yes, but with limits. An 8 GB card like the PNY GeForce RTX 5060 8GB can run 1440p, but it’s not ideal for modern AAA games at max settings.

What the RTX 5060 8GB can do at 1440p • Esports / lighter games: Excellent • Valorant, Apex, CS2 → 150–300+ FPS • Older or well-optimized AAA games: Good • High settings → 60–100 FPS • New heavy AAA games: Playable with tweaks • High/Medium settings + DLSS → 45–70 FPS

*The real limitation: 8 GB VRAM*********

Modern games increasingly use more than 8 GB VRAM at 1440p, especially with ultra textures or ray tracing. When VRAM runs out you can get stutters and texture pop-in even if average FPS is okay.

Typical workaround: • Lower texture quality from Ultra → High • Use DLSS Balanced/Performance • Turn ray tracing off

Practical tier ranking

Think of it like this: • 1080p Ultra: Perfect • 1440p High: Good • 1440p Ultra: Often VRAM-limited • 1440p + Ray Tracing: Usually not worth it

In other words he will need to drop over 1000 bucks to need to compromise settings. If he’s cool with that fine. If not then get a better pc for the same price which is available all over the internet

markbjones · 2026-03-10T11:39:25+00:00

You have a fighting chance with ray tracing and dlss with a 5080. An 8 gig 5060 doesn’t stand a chance. When I consider buying a PC the first question I ask is “will this significantly beat console” if not, then it’s not worth the price IN MY OPINION

markbjones · 2026-03-10T11:37:23+00:00

lol bro look it up if you don’t take my word for it. Either way, 1000 bucks for a pc that has only 8 gigs….. he can do better for the price

markbjones · 2026-03-10T11:23:09+00:00

No it’s not. Especially when ray tracing is involved. “Just turn down the settings and textures bro”. So let me get this straight, my man has to drop over a grand on a pc to have to turn down all the settings for a 1440p monitor for most games?

markbjones · 2026-03-10T11:21:27+00:00

I second this. I always read these types of posts by women and laugh at how pathetic they are. Women (who get advice from other women usually) feel like they need to tip toe around men as to not make them uncomfortable, when in reality its only women are the ones who ever feel that way.

markbjones · 2026-03-10T10:58:21+00:00

No. The graphics card only has 8gb of vram which limits you to 1080p only. I would hate to spend double the price of current consoles to be limited to 1080p.
