Hey guys, how’s it going? So, about 2 (almost 3) months ago, I had to format my PC just to be able to play Valorant again because my Windows was installed in MBR instead of GPT. After doing that, my PC’s performance dropped a lot, which never happened before. I’ve formatted my setups several times in the past and never had any issues until that day. Since then, I’ve formatted the system a few more times, used DDU thinking it could be a corrupted driver, installed chipset drivers properly and still, no improvement. The performance is just terrible. Take Fortnite as an example: it’s basically unplayable. I’m getting around 80 to 110 FPS on low settings. On ultra, it drops to 60~70 FPS, and this is all on 1080p, which is insane considering my specs. I even swapped the RAM sticks and enabled XMP, but still no difference. So yeah, I’ve been dealing with this for a while now. If anyone out there has a clue or any suggestions, I’d truly appreciate the help. This has been super frustrating. My specs: RTX 4070 Super, Ryzen 7 5700X, 32GB RAM (2x16GB 3200MHz, XMP enabled)

    I believe your CPU might be bottlenecking the GPU. I happen to have the same GPU and this game runs atrociously bad sometimes, GPU usage can drop down to around 70% (and I have a 3060, which is not that powerful).

    Your CPU and RAM are slow. 110 fps is all you’re going to get. Your specs aren’t that great.

    You need to upgrade your ram to 3600C16 and your CPU to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D if you want 150+fps on average at all low.

    Your cpu is bottlenecking your gpu. I had a pretty similar set up i ended up upgrading to a ryzen 7 5800x3d and i went from 110 ish frames to 200

    If you put your graphics higher does the performance go down or stay the same?

  5. There is an older topic with same issue. 
    He did change to MBR from GPT because of fortnite if I remember correctly and it lowered his fps.

    With thst pc you have to make options play earzone with messing with disk tables or play fortnite. 

    Its a bug om mbr and you wont be solving it anytime soon
