Sims 4 Low FPS on GTX 1060 6gb
Hey guys, So I recently bought a PC that came with a gtx 1060 6gb GPU and the performance with The Sims 4 is not that perfect. I run the game on ultra with uncompessed sim textures and I am getting...

@puzzlezaddict Hey, so I tried everything you said and also I tried playing with WiFi off aswell as also disabling the GeForce in-game overlay, just in case. So in every one of my tests the FPS in started at around 55-60 when zoomed in and as low as 34 when zoomed out and moving. No difference at all with any of the different things I tried.
Here is my DxDiag. Thanks in advance for helping.
@SimmerGeorge The AMD Ryzen 2600 is known to be very sensitive to heat. The harder it works the hotter it gets so if you have marginal cooling the cpu could clock down the hotter it gets the slower it runs, Also it seems that this cpu is very sensitive to the power supply. Again if you have a marginal power supply the cpu may be clocking down due to lack of power. You really need to check the ratings of the power supply. Some (not all) psu manufacturers boost voltages of lesser required specs to raise the overall wattage rating, Also not all psus are created equal. Some have dual rails which split the output and I have seen one rail loaded and the other rail with virtually no load. Like I said you have to look at the whole system.
- @roberta591 Sorry I don't understand any of that and I have no idea how it could ruin my gaming experience. What is marginal power?
@SimmerGeorge What I mean by marginal power is the power supply has enough power to run the computer and then some but It may not enough to run the computer at full load. There are many different power supply designs. If the power supply has two rails at +12V (volts) at 20 A (amps) per rail then the specs are +12V at 40A and this is the figure that will produce the total wattage. The specs for the power supply should be on a label on the power supply. The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 spec has a TDP (thermal design power) is 65 W (watts). First the cpu cooler needs to handle 65 watts for the cpu only. This does not take into account any other devices drawing on the power supply. If you overclock the figure goes up. As I somewhat frequently upgrade my computers I tend to over rate my components. Another thing I only buy name brand power supplies. Name brand psus tends to use better components and supply a cleaner voltages for a longer time. The very first thing I do when troubleshooting issues is take an inventory of the system and see if the basic system is sound. BTW the GTX 1060 peaks about 140W. Basically if you have a 350W power supply or a Brand X 400W power supply or a failing power supply you may experience performance issues. If the cpu gets too hot it will reduce power so it will produce less heat thus preventing self destruction. A good gaming rig needs to be able to exhaust heat. if the case is blocked or you may need more air movement could cause excessive heat buildup.
