[Doomzdayy]

I've submitted this to r/techsupport and crossposting here hoping to get additional insight on the problem, hope that's okay https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/i9qxus/underperforming_pc_in_games_rtx_2070_r5_2600x/

 

 

The rundown:

 

PC specs:

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

GPU Nvidia RTX 2070

SSD SanDisk SSD Plus 240GB

HDD Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB

HDD WD Green 1TB (2011) RAM HyperX Fury 2666 C16 2x8GB

MBD Gigabyte B450M DS3H

 

GPU model is MSI GeForce RTX 2070 GAMING Z 8G

Here's some benchmarks

 

3dmark timespy score https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/49496508

 

Userbenchmark score https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/31744936

 

 

The following benchmarks i took and compared them to various benchmarks in youtube with similar hardware

 

Doom Eternal:

i'm getting 90-130fps Ultra 1080p

expected: 140-250fps

 

Remnant from the ashes: 35-50 fps in lobby Ultra 1440p

expected 60-100fps

 

World War Z: | 1080p ≈ 60fps | 1440p ≈ 50fps | 2160p ≈ 30fps |

expected: | 1080p ≈ 100fps | 1440p ≈ 90fps | 2160p ≈ 52fps |

Where did you get those "expected" numbers from?

 

Here's Doom Eternal for example:

This is taken from techspot.com - they got 160FPS average with a 2070, and that was with an overclocked 9900K and a pretty fast memory kit. I'd say your result sounds perfectly normal.

at 1080p your cpu with 2666 ram aint helping much. you could sell your current kit for like 40 bucks and get a new kit at 3000-3200 for ~$60 which would help a bit, if your 2600x's imc can handle it

Hi! those numbers are a bit more realistic yes i took the numbers from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLy2zz6cNno

 

There are games where i don't think i'm getting the performance i should

for example, playing Borderlands 3 (dx11) with my friend who has a GTX 1070 and an I7 3770K he gets from 100fps to 120fps, when mirroring his exact settings i'm at 40 fps to 60fps. Shouldn't i get similar or better performance than that?

 

I'll try to compare my results to techspot and see how i'm faring

I may be able to try my friend's ram that goes up to 3600MHz

zen + doesnt handle higher memory clocks well and i'm pretty sure that the ds3h only supports 3200mhz anyways. unless you are comfortable messing around with clocks and timings in bios
