I've upgraded my drivers which gave me about 20fps back but it still drops below 144fps at times. Side note even when running on high I tend to get very similar fps values so I don't believe my graphics card is struggling at all with this it seems CPU dependent from what I can tell. Regardless of what I tweak I'm asking what the most efficient way to get consistent 240+ frames is?

I've run DDU and installed latest drivers. I do see an increase of about 20 fps, however it's still below 144fps at times and I'm aiming for consistent 240+ even in teamfights. With that in mind do you know what I may need to upgrade for that to happen? (additionally ran task manager and nothing hits 100, cpu goes up to a solid 60-70% at times where I see the fps dips though)

The standard build at our Arena is an Omen Sponsored setup with a 144hz monitor. I'm looking to push past the minimum requirements of my Varsity team however.

I'll give those a try and get back to you

TL;DR: NEED 300 FPS WHICH RYZEN CPU SHOULD I GET, OR DO I HAVE A BOTTLENECK SOMEWHERE? Hello I would like to give some backstory as to my needs for this build. I am a senior in college studying game design and a Varsity Esports player for my college's Overwatch team. I currently have a 240hz monitor and have now saved enough to get the cpu to pair with it. As it stands I am running 80-100fps on all low settings with my build. Build: Windows 10 64b version 1903 Corsair CX600 PSU GTX 1080ti Ryzen 5 2600 CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO WIFI 222gb SSD with 12.9 free Peripherals: Alienware aw2518hf 240hz monitor Benq xl2411z 144hz monitor 60hz asus monitor Corsair k70rgb rapidfire Logitech g502 Blue Snowball Overwatch Settings Render Scale: 75% Texture Quality: Low Texture Filtering Quality: Low Local Fog Detail: Low Dynamic Reflections: Off Shadow Detail: Off Model Detail: Low Effects Detail: Low Lighting Quality: Low Antialias Quality:Off Refraction Quality: Low Screenshot Quality: 1xresolution Local Reflections: Off Ambient Occlusion: Off My goal is to run Overwatch consistently as close to 300fps as possible additionally a cpu upgrade would help with game development. I'm looking into upgrading to a ryzen 3rd gen processor such as the ryzen 7 3800x or ryzen 9 3900x. Would the 3900x be overkill? Any thoughts would be appreciated. If you can see any bottlenecks please let me know as well.

Yes lowest settings, I'll make sure to update that in my post thank you. And I will try rolling back the driver and see if that helps, I've heard teammates have dropped frames upon updating the driver as well actually so hopefully that's it.

tl;dr: Hardware good, frames bad, no clue why??? Hello, I will preface this by saying I have tried my hardest to figure this out on my own and cant find the problem. I am a varsity esports player for my college and I need to be able to run more than 144 frames at any time in Overwatch. However recently my frames have been regularly dipping to 120 and even 90. The following are my specs: Windows 10 64b version 1903 Corsair CX600 PSU GTX 1080ti Ryzen 5 2600 CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO WIFI 222gb SSD with 12.9 free Running on Fiber Optic Ethernet - 2ms ping, 911.46Mbps Down, 654.72Mbps Up No overclocking, windows performance set to high, all drivers up to date including bios, all lowest settings in game. I've tried disk cleanup, Defrag, and Malware scans. I really don't think I should be getting these numbers with my hardware, all of it is new as of this last Christmas except for the PSU. If anyone has any clue I'd be in eternal debt. If there is any information I have left out please let me know as well. Thank you.

As far as room to overclock, what does that usually look like? do you need to have something like 40c while gaming to be able to clock it up more?

I reinstalled it, screwed it down tighter, that was it, clocking 50 average 70 at max now

it had thermal paste preapplied, do i need to order extra or something? or could I have installed the cooler itself wrong?

default wraith

You're entirely right, the first program I used didnt catch it, the others are saying 95c for my cpu. I can see the fan running in there and it came with preapplied thermal paste. Why might it be running that high?

Hi, I recently upgraded from a 3rd generation i7 processor(5 years old) to the Ryzen 5 2600, along with a new b450 motherboard and new ram. I did the upgrade because I am a competitive gamer on multiple teams and my old set up wasn't allowing me to keep a solid 144hz, and would drop to 130 or 120 often. (For reference in each of these games I use the absolute lowest settings possible to try to push frames, all low or off.) However since the upgrade I have had a much worse result. In Overwatch the longer I play the lower my fps goes, it starts out at 300 and within the first minute or 2 drops to 200, and by the 5th minute im struggling to keep 144hz and often getting drops to around 30, and 60. Another problem that occured sometimes was a sudden stutter in fps and audio simultaneously. Previously I was also able to get around 90fps in blackops 4 now I am struggling to hold 30, on even lower and more optimized settings. I have tried: - updating my bios - updating my Graphics card driver - XMP crashes my computer(at least on the default profile) - Defragging hard drive - Turning off XBOX DVR - Updating Windows (although every day I check and there's always more updates) - Changing my power plan to ultimate My Build for reference: Windows 10 64b version 1809(OS Build 1776.168) 600w Corsair PSU GTX 1080ti Ryzen 5 2600 CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO WIFI 222gb SSD with 21gb free Running on Fiber Optics with an average 923mbps download My core speed seems to run around 3500 for the ryzen Ram is running at (DRAM which would be half) 1064.1MHZ And no overheating in any of the listed components
