Aurora R11, GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. COD Warzone Issue

Check your system temperatures. It sounds like your system is throttling due to overheating. If you're temps are extremely high, you need to check your CPU cooling fan / heatsink / water block and your GPU cooling fans. It could be that they are either not working or loose (no thermal conductivity).

Use the Alienware Command Center to see your GPU / CPU temperatures.

When I'm not playing anything my Temps are CPU 39 C and GPU 48 C. While running in game warzone the GPU doesn't go above 67C. from what I can tell those are normal. So I don't think that is the issue. I appreciate the suggestion. 

Typically when you start shooting in a FPS, that’s usually the CPU.

Is the 16GB single or dual channel?

What speed is the RAM?

Latest graphics drivers?

What resolution is your monitor?

Have you tried capping the refresh rate to 60Hz just to see if it clears up?

What graphics preset are you running in the game?

What do you have running in the background?

Have you brought task manager to see how much RAM is available before the game starts?

Have you tried temporarily disabling your Antivirus software to see if it clears up?

Dual Channel

16GB Dual Channel DDR4 XMP at 3200MHz

Updated Nvdia Drivers on 2/1/22

1920x1080, 240Hz

Not sure how to ap 60Hz

I lowered al Graphic presets to the lowest they can go didn't do anything.

Just Battle.net and Discord in Background

Ram is running at 35% before game

and Antivirus is disabled

CPU bottleneck is what I am thinking also. Typically with more and more people around frame rates drop down as CPU's become bogged down.

It could be the game is poorly optimized, or does not like a certain driver version or driver setting.

What's the best way to fix this? Would adding more Ram to the 16gb work? I cant imagine Discord being the reason, it may be part but has to be more.

I would try and remove Discord from the equation to see if that helps. Since this is an Activision game you need Battle.net

You can CAP your framerate/refresh to 60Hz in the game settings. I would also try that to see if it smooths things out.

I ran Some more tests and It does In fact seem to be the CPU Bottlenecking. While warzone is running the CPU jumps from 70% to 90% and hit 100% a few times, even with very minimal programs running. My memory Usage also hits pretty high could that also have anything to do with it or no? It seems that overclocking may be the best route, any help with the best route would be helpful.

Not sure how you ended up with a spinning-platter HDD in a nice Aurora-R11 with 16gb ram and a GTX-2070 ...

... however, you should be running your Windows, all apps, and these few favorite games of yours all from a SSD.

Hard to say what kind of lagging and performance issues your system will have, running everything from an old-school HDD (talk about bottlenecks). 

I just bought a M.2 NVME 2tb SSD and received it today so I will be putting it in. Any idea what the best way to clone the HDD to the SSD for OS and Boot and all games?

Once you hit 100% on the CPU, that will be the bottleneck for frame rate.

The way it works in basic terms is that your CPU draws the frames, your video card generates the 3d images from it.

To know how bad your bottleneck is, you should look at CPU and GPU usage at the same time. There will never be a perfect balance and I prefer the video card to be around the 95% mark, while others might suggest a 100% mark.

What you don't want is your CPU to be at 90% and your GPU at 75%.

Things that can lower a bottleneck:

- Lower resolution.

- Frame capping.

- Turning down game effects and game quality settings from within the games menu.

- Faster CPU.

- In some cases more memory, but usually not and only if you are actually starting to use more than the available system RAM.

- Single channel versus dual channel memory makes a big difference also. (1 stick versus 2 sticks of memory)

AldousHuxley20,

Have you updated all drivers/BIOS?
