Hello everyone,
Firstly, I am not an experienced PC builder. Yes, I have built my own PCs, but I am very little experience in maximizing my systems to reach their potential.
Now to the point...
Up until yesterday, I was running a build containing an i5 4690k with an MSI Gaming mother board and 16 gigs of DDR3 RAM running at 2444 hz, with a 1080ti. I have an Acer Predator 165 hz, Gsync display. This build was doing fine until I started to play Battlefield 1 and 5. I was getting abysmal FPS results, stuttering and frame rates anywhere from 90 all the way down to 40 depending on the resolution (1080p vs. 1440p).
Black Friday came around and I decided to upgrade my main components. I look online, and the Ryzen 7 2700x was getting anywhere from 130 fps to 170 fps depending on the resolution. I decided to bunker down and purchase some new components.
Yesterday, I installed the Ryzen 2700x along with an Asus ROG b450-f motherboard and paired it with a single 16gb stick of Corsair Vengance DDR 4 ram which is rated at 3000hz.
I did a clean install of Windows and tried out Battlefield 1 again.
Unfortunately, it is not meeting my expectations. I have an improvement now, as FPS is now usually above 100, but I never get anywhere hear a consistent 144fps, and the frame fluaxates big time. When there is alot of stuff happening on screen, I even dip below 100 fps at times.
Again, I am not very experienced, but I know I should be getting more out of my system compared to the benchmarks I have researched.
Does anyone have any ideas at all to improve performance? I am able to provide any diagnostic data if you point me in the right direction.
On a final note, I am running the Prism Wraith cooler included with the Ryzen. Thanks in advance.
