Startower

i use my computer at least 14 hrs a day, 6 days a week, on monday i fell fresh and can stay for hours in front of the monitor but by friday mi eyes hurt so badly i need to stare away every couple of minutes or so. also my sight reduces its effective FOV so anything away from the center looks blurry and i feel dizzy most of the time.

You should try if available in your UEFI configuration. There is no point in buying faster ram if you are not going to use it as intended. In gaming you should get 3 to 5 more fps, and generally the OS feels snappier with faster ram. Consider also that ryzen has some problems with memory speeds. mine, a 1700, can't go up to 3200 mhz but at 3000 mhz everything feels faster and more responsive. Cheers.

Hi. For a year now, i have been gaming on a R7 1700+gtx 1060 computer, and it has been awesome. But recently i noticed that cpu performance is not that great on non heavily multi-threaded games like farcry and crysis series. . So i started testing my system and found that on on a fresh boot, cpu-z benchmark results (@ stock settings) are: 405 p. for single thread and 4003 p. for multi thread, but as soon as i start the steam client, even if it reports cpu usage under 1% in the task manager, my cpu-z results get down to: 362 p. for single thread and 3870 p. for multi thread. That is a 10% and 6% performance loss respectively, but more important, i have determined this as the cause for the stuttering present in the games mentioned earlier. If i limit steam.exe, steamservice.exe and steamwebhelper.exe to use only one thread via "set affinity" in the task manager, i seem to recover half of the performance lost, and stuttering in games is significantly reduced but not totally eliminated. It seems that even if the steam client is not been heavily used or even it is minimized to the system tray, somehow it still prevents the cpu from boosting itself and reach maximum performance. i have tried closing the steam client after launching the games but it does not work all the times as most games require the client to be running for them to function properly, i have also tried disabling stream and broadcasting options in the settings menu, i do not use any skin or big screen mode, and try to keep my system free of any background processes. I have replicated this behavior on another pc with an old i5 3550 but intel processors do not seem to be affected as much as amds since performance loss is around 5% for single threaded and under 2% for multi threaded in the i5. Maybe someone can help me find a definitive solution or at least recover a bit more of performance. Thanks.
