Is my 1800x bottlenecked

[cocata75611]

I am running 1800x with gtx 1080 to and 24gb 2133mhz ram,144hz 1440p monitor as my main.

Both GPU and CPU stay at low usage with none of the cores hitting 100%,but the fps is lower than 144.The game is Fortnite.

Seems the GPU is not even getting used much, which is weird

everything is working as it should and will only use whats needed. your bottleneck is gpu at this frame rate and resolution. however if you want to max your gpu go into the driver and set it yo max performance... this will work your card to max regardless if your using it for high in gaming or pac man.

This is your worse bottleneck here, dual channel is probably broken by the weird memory configuration and infinity fabric is starving with the 2133mhz operating frequency.

So higher frequency memory?

The game may not have as many threads ready to run in given time frame. On top of that, Windows generally schedules on the first available core. So Fortnite will never be able to saturate this processor and from the looks of it, a single core.

 

However using DDR4-2133 RAM may be hurting performance since AMD appears to recommend DDR4-2667 according to their website.

Yea, from experience I can say it's the frequency of the memory.

When - while gaming on my R7 1700 - I am not running high frequency memory, it will stutter and I get lower fps. This amount of lower fps will only be more noticeable with a better GPU.

Get some 3000Mhz memory, turn on XAMP or overclock it yourself (as 2133Mhz is the standard speed of DDR4) and it should be good.

 

Or check at least if your memory is not rated for actually a higher speed, or if you can overclock it. As is though, the memory is the culprit of the lower fps.

Your godawfully slow RAM is more than likely the larger issue.
