Upgraded my GFX card last month, from a msi 290x lightning to a 1070!

Told to wait for next gen cpu before upgrading!

Please advise!

Planning to change mobo + processor

or anything along the line!

im only interested in the 8700k processor

no budget, everything is welcomed!

should i go windows 10 ?

gaming on a must constant 144 fps (input lag)
games play : overwatch @ 1080p
no i cannot hit constant 144fps now on everything low, i know with my graphics card i should, my processor and ram usage i guess?

Try getting another stick of ram. For dual channel. Should help.
THESE GUYS!

I WENT OUT TO GET ANOTHER DDR RAM, CHANGE TO DUAL!

FLAWLESS 200FPS CONSTANT, NO DIPS NO DROP!!!

I BELIEVED MY RIG!!!

I KNOW ITS LIKE REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE BUT I SWEAR!!!!

NOW I AM ON DUAL CHANNEL WITH 2 X 8 GB DDR3 1600MHZ RAMS.

NO DIPS OR DROP!!!

my build is almost like urs.

system shld b good unless u play games like bf1 (cpu intensive)

my cpu was at 100% whenever play bf1

for some reason cannot reach OW in constant 144hz, everything low @ 1080p.
Doom max settings i can easily hit 200 fps, during battles 140-160ish.

i guess OW more cpu intensive ba.

 

[Blindaim]

so what fps you get for OW?

 

[spblind]

if constant,100 fps.
in spawn 144fps
during poke fights 130ish
during big fights 100-140 up down but always on the lower.

Everything low cannot?? Scully is window 7 issue...later I go home test.

i also ask myself why? i sumpa cannot. last time i on 290x also same fps issues as my current 1070 gtx.
I thought upgrading the GPU will help me solve the fps, i repeat once again i play everything on LOW, i also get similar fps rate as my 290x on low.

so i seriously thought its CPU problem. since alot of people says that OW is a CPU intensive game.

if i can find solution to run constant 144 fps! i not changing mobo and cpu le~

initially i thought its really the cpu and ram.

You might want to check your memory usage.

 

[spblind]

memory usage is RAM right?

i checked, 4gb + only

try giving high priority to overwatch process in windows

tried before many times didnt make a difference.

Sorry, just realised you are using 144hz monitor so quite hard to simulate your scenario. Think should be normal, you should be able to hit 144fps on 144hz 1080p if using gtx 1080.

 

[spblind]

actually i highly doubt so.. cause i can run doom max settings at 160-200fps. i should be able to run overwatch on 300fps easily on all low. during training and spawn room, i can hit constant 144, i tried maxing it to 300 in options. yes i can hit constant 300 on training and spawn room @ low but not during fights.

i've seen people running with 970 gtx or 980 gtx on all low and hitting constant 300 fps, on twitch etc.

i also dno why

Change to windows 10 la lol, cheaper than changing mobo/processor.

unless someone can confirm this is the problem i will definitely change it~ ofcos cheaper better! somore i still think my gig is decent and fine lor... i can play alot of games at 1080 over 100+ fps easily.

try going windows 10 first. if that doesnt help then upgrade cpu.

 

[spblind]

i just pmed and explained to some shop in SLS that i bought before, not gonna name them.

they are nice btw.

they told me that its impossible that my 1070gtx will not run at a constant 144 on low settings @ 1080, when 1060 can already hit 120ish fps on that settings.

anyone have any ideas? haiz.

input lag really sucks.

Buy a 128 gb ssd, disconnect all drive. Fix that new ssd into boot drive...get a win 10 USB image and install win10 follow by all other drivers and ow and see how. If still the same, then use back old drives to go back win7...that newly bought ssd can either sell away or use it for your own storage.
