Hey everyone. I hope you might be able to help me with this. So I recently made some upgrades to my build -- new CPU, GPU and Monitor. These are my specs:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (16 cores / 32 threads)
  • GPU: ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4070 Ti Super OC (16GB GDDR6X)
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-3600
  • Monitor: Gigabyte M27Q X – 2560×1440 @ 170Hz, G-SYNC Compatible, DP connected

I ran a benchmark on 3DMark and everything worked fine. GPU can use 280W, smooth 120fps and more in the benchmarks. Now, I am trying to play DOOM: TDA, but I barely get above 50FPS, no matter what Settings. Using the overlay, I can see that my GPU only pulls 165W and runs at no more than 55% load. My CPU is also not maxed out. I tried a lot, updated my Motherboard BIOS and other solutions. I also ran Doom Eternal, Raytracing and Ultra Nightmare settings and the same result. Wattage not fully used.

Is there anything else I can do? It is pretty frustrating as I thought I had build a pretty powerful Rig and now I am sorta disappointed.
