Hello all!
I'm brand new to this website and it's different forums, but I was hoping to find some help for a problem I've been having with my system.
I was having some trouble running a few games, and the CPU I had at the time (AMD A-10 6800k APU) seemed to be the culprit, so I went out and purchased a new motherboard to fit a Ryzen 3 1200 that I had lying around. I did a clean install of windows, installed all the proper drivers for the new parts only to realize, the games were still running poorly, like 15-30 frames in Dark Souls 3 at the lowest settings, poorly. I decided to take a look at task manager while the game was running, and GPU usage was nearing, if not, at 100% most of the time. I did a userbenchmark and here are the results I got, if it helps.
UserBenchmarks: Game 16%, Desk 59%, Work 38%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1200 - 65%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-3GB - 7.1%
SSD: Adata SU635 240GB - 67.7%
SSD: 512gb QLC SATA SSD 512GB - 86.6%
RAM: Crucial BLS4G4D240FSB.8FBD2 2x4GB - 84.4%
MBD: Gigabyte B450M DS3H
A score of 7.1% for the GPU seems to be horrendous, as the average listed is around 54%!
Not listed is the PSU, which is an EVGA 500w Bronze or something along those lines.
I haven't the slightest idea what could be causing such poor performance, other than a dying GPU ):
If there's any more information that I could provide that would be useful, please let me know and thank you so much for the help!!!
