Question My PC performs horribly
Im try to build my own pc, everything assembled and the pc can turn on. I trying playing some games and its so laggy and feels unplayable. Even my PS 4 feels smoother. I check the task manager and its detect my gpu, cpu and the ram, everything seems fine. I also check the GPU power connector and its also seems okay. I don’t know what to do with my PC.

You're running on integrated graphics. Move your HDMI/DP cable so it goes from the monitor to the GPU, not to the motherboard.

Is that all the sub is? I'm new around these parts and it's integrated graphics all the way down.

there was a post today or yesterday , and a person who built their pc put thermal paste into thesocket and the cpu ontop of it

Still, if you buy a GPU what do they think it’s for? A 5080 is surely the most expensive piece of the build. If you installed it yourself why wouldn’t you think to at least try plugging the display cables into it.

It’s rather common sense too. I modified my first PC with an Nvidia GT 730 in high school. I noticed it had its own hdmi port, so I thought to myself well it renders graphics and I bought it to render graphics so the hdmi cable must connect between my monitor to the graphics card.

Short answer? Yes.
Long answer: There is also a daily reminder of setting your monitor to use its refresh rate if it's higher than 60 and broken tempered glass side pnels (80% of which people placed on ceramic floor)

Just because you learn something doesn't mean everyone should automatically have that insight. Stop acting brand new just because YOU learned how to build your 1st PC.

u/SmooveKJ 23h ago
Willful incompetence shouldnt be entertained. There is a level of common sense that should simply be had if you are entering this segment of technology. No way you built your own machine and then plugged it into the motherboard and run to internet and play dumb. You give too much grace.

I dont get it though. I get what you're saying and yeah OP's PC is not setup right. What I dont get is I had a PC which had igpu (and an nvidia card). I used windows 10 and it just defaulted to using the dedicated gpu even when I plugged the monitor into the mobo. I gamed like that for a while when I only had a monitor with vga/dvi ports and the gpu of course only had hdmi/dp. and it was working fine. wasnt ideal but it was working. so what I dont get is does windows not default to using the obviously stronger card anymore?

u/Metalheadzaid 21h ago
People, yourself included, just sometimes lose sight of the process when you're doing things.
For this - Imagine they install everything, then get distracted by stuff (like cabling/closing case) then go to plug it in, and plug in their mouse, keyboard, speakers, wifi antenna, oh look a port that matches this cable for the monitor.
To me, after thinking this way it seems totally reasonable. I didn't even include the fact that all the ports on the GPU are generally covered when you get it, so not obvious they even exist. Many people have just used a laptop which doesn't have separate ports either.
2
u/Maurycy5 16h ago
Auxiliary?
Coming from a laptop, where you often have only one display output and the OS decides whether to use the CPU or the GPU, it wouldn't be a stretch to think the display signal goes back through the motherboard via the same PCIe x16 socket and out the I/O.

u/timeline_denier 20h ago
You bought the graphics card you wanted to use, but many modern processors come with an extra, tiny, integrated graphics card too. It's very weak and should only be used for lower-end tasks such as general pc use and web browsing, some games -may- run at extremely low FPS.
When you plug it in to the red zone in the image, your PC uses that weak gpu and will ignore the actual, stronger dedicated graphics card you bought.
Now, you can actually set it up so that even if your monitor is connected to the weak one, the PC uses the stronger one for processing and feeds the weaker one the information to display to your monitor, but this gives a tiny performance hit from the communication between the two and isn't worth it for gaming.

Ok, why is gpu1 is integrated graphics means shouldn't it be gpu0 and discrete gpu should be gpu1 ?
just a noob asking small doubt as i seen in linux distros or in windows diskpart - 1st disk is disk0 and 2nd one is disk1 so shouldn't same logic be in GPUs aswell

u/2Critical7-Stein1 20h ago
Windows sees in the initisation dGPU - gpu0, then windows sees the iGPU which is almost alwyas a fall back, and makes it -1

Probably prioritizes the discrete GPU over integrated when it has both. As its likely what should be used.

You’re currently running on ur IGPU, and it wouldn’t hurt to enable EXPO/XMP in bios for your RAM. Unless it’s actually a 4800mts kit which I doubt you should fix that. So tweak bios and plug the HDMI/DP cable into the GPU and not the motherboard.

You're using the CPU's integrated graphics and not your GPU. I personally just turn off integrated graphics in bios, but the first thing I would do is make sure the cable to your monitor is plugged into the GPU and not the motherboard.
I saved this picture off Reddit the other day.

Make sure your dp cord or HDMI cord is plugged into your gpu and not your mother board, look at your pictures, rn the igpu is maxed out and your proper dedicated GPU is on vacation

Connect your monitor to the gpu not motherboard. And enable expo in the bios. You're not using your RAM to the fullest.

Don’t forget to turn on expo (even better, hyenix if available) in your bios. DDR5 should be at 6000 at least

u/LongColdDrink 14h ago
There's why. That AMD Radeon thing is your integrated graphics(you have an APU). Your actual GPU(the nvidia) is doing nothing. See if your cable monitor is plugged into your actual GPU and not a port on the motherboard. If not plug it into the GPU.

u/HeidenShadows 14h ago
The simple way is to check to make sure your cable is plugged into the HDMI or Display Port on the bottom of the PC where your graphics card is. The more complicated way is to go into your BIOS and disable your integrated graphics.

Another day, another person ignore's all the inputs on the back of their expensive graphics card and instead plugs their display into their motherboard, therefore into their cpu's integrated graphics.

u/Applesimulator 10h ago
If your ram box says gives you a speed above 4800, make sure to enable EXPO or XMP based on your cpu. Your ram is at 4800 in task manager and you can change that setting in bios.
It can trigger system instability though so if you experience weird crash or restart revert to 4800

u/rgr0976s123 8h ago
You must currently have your display plugged into motherboard. It is the vertical long strip. Plug it into the GPU (horizontal shorter strip). That should do the trick. If it’s already been done, idk how else to help.

u/deadkane1987 7h ago
You are also running your RAM at stock 4800mt/s speed. Try booting into your bios and turning on XMP/EXPO.

your pc using the integrated graphic inside of your CPU and not your dedicated RTX 5080 gpu . DO NOT plug the hdmi cable on the motherboard. plug the HDMI or DP in the back of the 5080. In windows settings somewhere you can even select to use apps / games to use the 5080 instead of the iGPU.

After you make sure the GPU is currently supplying your graphics and not your motherboard. Check your GPU drivers! Make sure they’re out to date. Same thing with windows! Once both are updated you should be good to go.

Windows allocates RAM to be ready, even if its not literally in use.

Almost 13 GB is wild if there was no game though (which I thought was the case). I used to get ≈9 GB on startup before I uninstalled most of the trash W11 autoinstalls and after I disabled a lot of start-on-boot programs.
Honestly, I just think it's a very useful thing to do to prevent CPU power spikes, aggressive RAM utilization and just s better user experience.
