game performance

[Earnist_]

my system specs are a 1700x and a rx 580 but even with that at 1080p on blackops 4 my frames still seem to dip below 60 during game play, why is this

[Slottr]

That sounds about right

It's a 580, not a miracle worker

 

What ram do you have? And at what speed?

i have 8gb at 2666 but i'm not exceeding it

Try lowering your graphics settings, the 580 is a 7 year old card now since it was also just a fancy 480

A single 8GB stick?

RX 580, not GTX.

yes a single stick

[Palden]

Exactly, the 580 is a rebranded rx 480 my dude, just slightly better binned, so 7 years may be much, think it's 4 years old

Thats a bit of a bottleneck to your processor, Ryzen processor's work well off fast dual channel memory. Consider getting another stick

the 580 is only a year and a half old

Its a rebranded 480. So closer to 2,5 years. Still a good card though. 

[Palden]

But it's a rebranded 480 chip that they didn't sell that binned higher than the other 480 chips

would my game performance increase enough to justify buying another stick of ram to have dual channel? because right now i dont need 16gb

And? Its still a fine card for 1080p gaming

No. It's same old 480 just with some tiny tweaks I believe. Just new name.But that's fine, it's good for 1080p.

i have r9 290 crossfire running with 3 screens, it's awesome. Really the r9 290 performs pretty much the same as an rx 580, just more heat and power... amd has been disappointing recently

Look at dropping some of the setting.

 

Btw have you updated your gpu drivers?

[Overbuilder]

they did release vega 56 and 64 though.

yes im at the latest drivers but would dual channel be worth it

Wrong card. The 290x is as fast as the rx580. Just at little under twice the power.

 

AMD had an ok macroarchitecture for compute against an gaming focus architecture from Nvidia. AMD is waiting to move on to their next macroarchitecture and their gaming iteration of GCN

Yes it would be.

 

Though unshure in the specific title. How is CPU load (on a per thread basis) and GPU load while gaming?

[Overbuilder]

yeah i have a powercolor PCS+ r9 290 though, so it performs really the same as a 290x

[Overbuilder]

it's factory overclocked.
