I've searched many forums outside of this one: Nvidia, OEMs, Windows, Random Tech Forums, and even this forum and concluded that this issue isn't something that only I experienced Background: I upgraded from a 6700k and RTX 2070: Had 200-250 FPS Now I have a 5950x, and an RTX 3070: Having 100-150 FPS Problem: GPU (3070) detects the game as low utilization, like a chrome tab or something and won't use its full effort to run it at full fps. In menus/lobby (400-500 FPS) CPU (5950x) sees low usage of its 16 cores, but max thread usage is 70 %. In menus/lobby ( 80 %) Many 3000 Series GPU and any other CPU seems to encounter a similar issue where the FPS is half or less than expected values What people have said: "Go post into that forum instead" This is an OS issue, turn off power saver This is a driver issue, update your drivers You have a CPU bottleneck Your settings are too high You don't need x/y/z FPS to play the game None of these are the problem, obviously as the CPU isn't old, its running 4.6 to 5Ghz, but the GPU is running half its speed and practically 2D clocks (like a chrome tab or something). This seems to be only this game. No other game really has this, or at least no other game I've played so far has this. Even Among Us which is an actual 2D game runs at over 1000 FPS.

Valorant Low FPS on newer 3000 Series Gpus

I've searched many forums outside of this one: Nvidia, OEMs, Windows, Random Tech Forums, and even this forum and concluded that this issue isn't something that only I experienced

Background:
I upgraded from a 6700k and RTX 2070: Had 200-250 FPS
Now I have a 5950x, and an RTX 3070: Having 100-150 FPS

Problem:

GPU (3070) detects the game as low utilization, like a chrome tab or something and won't use its full effort to run it at full fps. In menus/lobby (400-500 FPS)
CPU (5950x) sees low usage of its 16 cores, but max thread usage is ₇₀%. In menus/lobby (₈₀%)
Many 3000 Series GPU and any other CPU seems to encounter a similar issue where the FPS is half or less than expected values

What people have said:

"Go post into that forum instead"
This is an OS issue, turn off power saver
This is a driver issue, update your drivers
You have a CPU bottleneck
Your settings are too high
You don't need x/y/z FPS to play the game

None of these are the problem, obviously as the CPU isn't old, its running 4.6 to 5Ghz, but the GPU is running half its speed and practically 2D clocks (like a chrome tab or something). This seems to be only this game. No other game really has this, or at least no other game I've played so far has this. Even Among Us which is an actual 2D game runs at over 1000 FPS.
