    kilrath81 got a reaction from Ben17 in My computer doesn’t boot up until it’s restarted once? ?   
    Just for shits and giggles, did you try to boot the system up into the bios screen and then do a save and reset then let windows load to see if it does it? I'm curious if its maybe something initializing late on initial boot.

    Make sure your CPU/board supports more than 32 GB, if you decide to upgrade.

    I thought it almost doubles the read/write on large files. I dont know if it helps much on small files though. I was under the impression SSDs saturate their connection and when you Raid 0 you give 2 paths for the information to travel, i honestly dont know much about it so that was just a guess when i did it. I did raid 0 primarily for the single drive with more space Since the project i work on has hard coded references to the C Drive and symlinks can be a bit of a pain with it.

    I am a systems programmer for an older MMO that is a nightmare to set up the development environment for, I would absolutely hate to have to reinstall windows... I hope it doesnt go there. From installing and configuring all the programs to getting all the branches off of git, to making the changes needed to run the servers locally for testing it can take a few days to set that crap back up.... i think i would literally cry.

    The NVMe is only games. My raid 0 SSDs are my boot drive currently.
     
    Would also like to point out that when i installed the 2070 Super even thought the previous card was Nvidia i still ran DDU and installed the drivers from scratch, in case that comes up.

    They are on the NVMe. I think a while back i tested it at something like 3.2gb/s

    That game is really not a hardware hog. I get the feeling it still will pull great numbers on old Haswell i7s and they typically are on 1866 or less DDR3.....
     
    I think something else is wrong.
     
    Don't know what, but that's my gut

    When i built the system it was running game servers and needed the 64gb of ram, now even as a game development rig it doesnt need 64gb so thanks, i think i will try taking two out and doing an overclock. Obviously not straight to 3000 but through 2400, 2666, etc. If it is the ram and i can get 3000 out of it then i will leave the two stick in and if they die, i have 2 spare, if they die i can just get 2 more.
     
    Thanks everyone for your time, when i get home from work i will give this a go and report back any results.

    I get issues like this in Wreckfest and it is extremely bad in rust. Wreckfest is an in house engine and runs better than the other two. The other two are Unity, and unoptimized but you would figure you would pin either the CPU cores or the GPU but it isnt really fully stressing either and its only getting 80ish fps of the 144 im asking it for.

    It's the slow RAM if you ask me, some games (say, Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey) on Intel CPUs show significant performance difference with slower memory (and even in other games there's still gains to be had)

    Some games are very ipc dependent. So if you are at 50% cpu utilization and your gpu is hanging out at 40%, it can still be a CPU bottleneck.
     
    Example, MMOs tend to be very single threaded and will bog down and be limited by ipc.
     
    More cores won't help you here, just faster ones.
     
    And memory speed as well could be it as stated above.

    I've seen it in games like wow.
     
    It only really uses up to 4 cores but the network thread will hammer one core, showing only like 20% utilization on my 8700k, but gpu utilization only to 60% or so and for drops from 200 to 75

    it's the ram, and it doesnt hurt if you try to oc it first before spending any money, even taking out 2 sticks and ocing it would help, try for 4 sticks 2666 or 2 sticks 3000 imho.

    Yes my power plan is on performance but i was under the impression a windows update made that redundant anyway since they added their "Game Mode" game detection

    I have an i7-6700k with a 4.7ghz overclock. I tested my fps issues in some games by playing with settings and resolution. I bought a 2070 Super for 1080/1440 gaming at hopefully 144fps. Games that i thought would be easy on the system are really struggling. I'm a bit confused on the CPU usage though and if there is much i can do about it without spending 1000 bucks. I currently have 64gb DDR4 2133 ram so i would have to buy 32GB of 3600mhz if i changed to a Ryzen. My board will only take a 7700k as an upgrade which isnt worth the upgrade. 
     
    In the games i tested i was getting sometimes 30-40% GPU utilization and sometimes the card would just downclock to 1605mhz while playing because the usage percent was so low at 1080p. The cpu shows 40-50% utilization but it isnt pegging half the CPU, its hitting all threads at about 50%. I would of assumed if it was a CPU issue and seen 50% usage i would see 2/4 cores at 100% and maybe 2/4 Logical processors at 100% in a game that uses 2-4 cores, not all cores/threads at 50%.
     
    I work in UE4 and like the core counts for compiling code and shaders so if i upgraded i would want more than a 4c/8t or 8c/8t upgrade but as i spent a bunch of money on a 2070 super and a few other parts that were in need of replacement, i dont have much budget left for a ryzen 3950x or even a 3700x when you factor in the need for ram and a board. So the question/s is, Is there something wrong with my set up that is causing my 6700k to underperform? and is there a reasonably priced worthwhile upgrade that i should be looking at? 3600x seems decent but most people say it wont perform in games much better than the 6700k

    Superposition i get a 20894 score on 1080p normal and it shows 98is% GPU usage.
     
    Thermals are good with the GPU at 55ish and the CPU around 50. it on a H100i AIO. Im in games mostly, recently the big one has been "My Time in Portia" which is cartoony and not really packed full of objects to mow down the CPU i wouldnt think, but optimization is always an issue. Ive seen it in Wreckfest and Rust as well. 
     
    As for the ram, i was thinking this was it, between using 4 slots instead of just 2 and the 2133mhz being entry level but then again i read conflicting reports of the 2 vs 4 sticks not being noticeable in speed and that upgrading the ram to a higher speed on a 6700k wouldnt really factor very much of an increase either. I could buy 3200 or 3600 CL16 ram and try it... if it doesnt help at least i have ram for an upgrade already.

    The strange part of it all is no core is maxed. The idividual cores were fluctuating between 40% and 60%.
     
    I might have forgot to mention that when i took "My Time at Portia" to 1440p it kicked the card up to 50%-60% and put the clock back to 2085mhz from 1605mhz that i was getting in 1080p, So i know something is tieing it up since the resolution bump gave me no more or less FPS, it just used more of the GPU.

    Ive mixed brands and specs throughout the different specs. Some refuse to work. Most will work if you manually set timings and such to match the lowest performing set. Usually i found that if you mix on the two channels you dont have a high chance for success but if you mix 2 together per channel, setting it this way usually works. So say, 2 corsair in A1, B1 and 2 Kingston in A2, B2. Wife is running a mismatched set and until i manually set timings (frequency was the same) it was very unstable. Now you wouldnt know they were mismatched.

    Imagine th PR nightmare of leaving it as "buyer beware"? You MIGHT be able to enable things and maybe not, at your own risk... then the nets bottom 5th in the IQ department start just pushing all the buttons trying to get over 9000 and break something or corrupt their installs or lose files or god knows what and then take to the streets screaming about what the big bad CPU company did to them.

    I dont know, depending on board whether it "Will just work" You may still have to go into the bios and enable it to run at the rams higher rated speed.

    The ram is rated for higher than the default speed listed for the CPU. They usually come with a XMP profile that you enable in the bios that runs the ram at its rated spec. Its technically an overclock on the ram just like you can overclock a CPU or GPU, the difference is they are tested by the manufacturer to be stable at that specific overclock.
