Recently I have become the proud papa of a brand spankin' new EVGA RTX 3060ti..
Unfortunately, things haven't gone as well as I had hoped..
It's a bit of a back story, so grab a diet coke or a beer..
My initial setup was an ASUS P9X79 PRO Core i7 3930K CPU and 32GB DDR3 RAM.. My video card was a GTX-970...
CoD Warzone is about the only game I play and I was getting 50-60 FPS.. Playable but I wanted more..
Enter the RTX... Installed it.. Did all the driver updates etc etc...
Played Warzone... FPS was only about 60-70 FPS... Considering the price I paid for the RTX, this was not much extra bang for my buck..
Got some really awesome help from the guys over in the CoD Forums.. Went round and round for a couple weeks before we determined that the likely cause was my 3rd Generation hardware.. Ancient by computer standards...
So, I upgraded to a 9th Generation Setup...
GIGABYTE B365M DS3H, Core i5 9400F, 24GB RAM..
Did a fresh install of Windows 11, then Windows 10... All the drivers and everything done...
Loaded up Warzone... STILL only 60-70 FPS... The wierd thing is the FPS doesn't change from HIGH GRAPHICS to HIGH PERFOMANCE extremes.. GFX settings at rock bottom visuals produces the same FPS as ultra high visual settings...
I can't understand why, no matter what hardware I use or what settings I use, I don't get much better FPS than I did with my GTX-970... Honestly, it's driving me to drink.. Well, more of a short walk, but that's another subject.. :D
Thinking it might be ONLINE/LATENCY issues, I tried local bot matches.. Same FPS...
So, I am stumped and the only thing I can think of is a bad RTX card.. But I can't see how it would work fine except for the FPS issue..
Here is some MSI AFTERBURNER data that might help tie down the issue..

As I mentioned, CoD is usually all I play, but I loaded up TITANFAL II and FAR CRY 4 to see if it was game specific...

I also have a lot of HML graphs from AfterBurner and the thread from the CoD Forum going over what's been tried, but I have to get a few posts under my belt before I can post those.. I can tell you that, according to AB's HML graph, I am only using between 25% and 35% of my GPU. Temps are well within norms...
I have talked with the company I got the RTX from and they are talking about having me send the card back to EVGA for a replacement..
Since I really don't want to be without my rig and I am not 1000% sure it's a bad card (but the evidence seems to point to that) I figured I would try the EVGA Forums on the hopes that it's something with my system that can be fixed..
Any hits, tips or suggestions would be most appreciated..
