Little FPS despite a good system?

Can someone help me? I have relatively little FPS in Fortnite on low settings compared to my system. Can it be that I need a new power supply with more watts? Or doesn't it matter? Have about 100 - 130 FPS in Fortnite on low settings, which is quite a bit.

Here is my system:

Gigabyte RTX 2070 Gaming OC

Ryzen 7 3700X

MSI x570 a pro

2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance

And only 500W BeQuiet power supply

I know that 500w is a little bit, but I don't know if it will be better otherwise… Who can help?

It could be that your system is too warm and therefore the power shuts down. What are your coolers?

Any software, drivers or Windows settings will be to blame.

The power supply has nothing to do with performance.

But it may be that your system is overheated (which cooler do you have?)

The thing is that I have already watched some YOUTUBE videos to improve performance, and have also applied the tips. So the settings are actually all on max performance.

For cpu the ryzen wraith prism (or so) the normal one from ryzen 7 3700x

ba

Um. So cpu standard from AMD and otherwise the standard fans on the case. Have 4 pieces on the housing

Your system is very good. And Fortnite Low Settings is not a problem.

The reason you have such a low rate is not because of your system.

For your information: A power supply unit would switch off, or not even start when it reached the limit.

As many have reported, Fortnite is currently performing poorly in the new season. Maybe it's because. Just wait.

If not, then there's another error, but not your system.

Despite that, I recommend a 600W if you want to (!) Overclock your Ryzen.

But the power supply is not the problem here.

Okay thank you very much

I think you should upgrade that. Then you will most likely get better performance

ba

Okay, thanks for the hint

If you put your system under load, it needs more power, if you only have a weak power supply, this can definitely become a system brake.

A power supply works with the highest efficiency if it has a load of between 50 and 70%, how efficiently the NT works can be recognized by the classification (bronze, silver, gold, platinum etc.). The higher the rating, the more efficiently the system works and enables a higher yield of effective performance.

With 500W power of your NT you can simply deduct 10% and consider it a power loss, so you have a maximum power of 450W with maximum load. The higher the load, however, the more heat is generated and that's what you don't want in any PC.

If you have poor cooling performance on top (a midi tower is only suitable for a gaming system, for example), your performance will also be reduced because the hardware starts to clock itself down to protect against damage and thus keep the temperature down,

Before you take any money and work into your hand to replace the power supply, you should take a look at your system and the software. If you have a fairly old system and a lot of garbage on it, you may well be slowed down by some software or by garbage. Viruses, Trojans and Co. Brake properly, you should never underestimate that.

Bad software (usually any freeware) can also slow the system down, especially free anti-virus software like "Avira" or "Avast".

The easiest thing you can do for checking is to simply rebuild your system, update all drivers and then set the software correctly. If you do not know what to set, you should keep your hands off and drive with the "standard system".

If that still doesn't help, you can consider installing a new NT, but you should go to min. Use 750W, ideally with a gold certificate or higher. You don't actually need platinum, so gold would be enough.

But I don't want to give you a guarantee that the power supply will fix all problems, that is quite possible, but it can also simply be due to the software.

The rest of the hardware should at least reach more than 120 FPS at 'Low', it is important to note that you have not limited your FPS externally. This can also be set in the system settings of your GraKa.

First of all, thank you for the long answer! It's not the software's fault, I also reset it recently.

What does limiting FPS mean externally?

ba

Oh, now I understand it… I just had a blackout haha. Knows what you mean and I don't have one
