NEW PC SLOW DOWNLOAD SPEED

[TheGreatWorldEater]

Hi, I recently bought a PC which is made by PC specialist, it all works find and dandy, however, there is one slight issue. Which is my download speed.

As you can see from the image above, I have quite fast download speed. My old PC was reaching this and when download games, I would be getting around 30 - 50 MB/s. On the new PC that I just bought, I'm getting around 500 Kbps when downloading games. Anyone know why?

I've updated windows, downloaded the latest LAN and chipset drivers. Tried 3 different cables changed location and port. Still nothing. I even plugged in my old PC to see if it was still getting the download speed and it was, it was getting around 40 MB/s.

Did it come with bullguard installed?

First thing you want to do is uninstall it if it's there. See how it runs after that.

Yeh I've done that. I have discovered something though, I've downloaded GOG to install Cyberpunk 2077 and on GOG i get around 35 MB/s. However, on steam and battle net I'm getting 500 Kbps is there anything that can be stopping it?

I'm concerned about a 550W PSU paired with a 3070 and a 10700 to be honest. That seems extremely light

You can check Steam and BNet's settings, they have options for limiting the download speeds. They may be enabled

I estimated it and it said around 400 W is fine, just means no overclocking I guess.

But I do plan on upgrading in the future and also I have checked steam and battle nets settings everything seems fine.

Yeah nah mate under load the processor and GPU will consume more power, if not then they end up hamstringing themselves or straight up shutting down

I believe under load the 10700 uses 214W and the 3070 is recommend 240W so that leaves you with 96W to power the rest of the build.

Really you should have at least 20% overhead when everything is considered for the health of the system to be considered. I'd be seriously concerned about that PSU burning out very quickly or having problems when trying to run the system under load

Yeh, an upgrade on the PSU is on route. But I would love to worry about that if I could even install games

I hear ye mate, hopefully you get it sorted. To me it sounds like a settings problem though if GoG download speeds are fine but Steam or BNet aren't.

 

[Martinr36]

When you do upgrade the PSU, i'd suggest RMx850W, that will give loads of headroom

Have you ran speed tests? - As @Steveyg suggests it is most likely the settings on Steam and Battlenet if you are getting 35mb elsewhere?

Yep I posted an image at top of the speed test

 

[rouchie]

Sorry, mistakenly read that as your previous pc's speed test, but that reinforces the settings message
