Big fps drops in fortnite

[Nekos]

Hi!

 

So my story first started when wanted a new pc. So watched benchmarks on my current favorite game, fortnite. According to benches the ryzen 3000 cpus (3700x and 3900x) should average around 400 fps on low settings. 

 

So I bought a 3700x and paired it with a 5700xt and a 850W gold EVGA psu and a x570 gigabyte Aorus Elite motherboard with the newest BIOS (20th of august)

ram is 3200mhz trident z cl 16

 

I have a 144hz monitor so if it could atleast sustain 144fps i would be happy. 

 

I compared my fps on low settings vs the bench with the same specs and suprisingly i only averaged 190 fps vs the 400ish of the other benches. 

And 1% fps down in the 30's,

 

Ok I thought, maybe the CPU is very low quality silicon, seeing as it was around 4ghz when playing (vs 4.4 advertised). 

I then got a 3900x (not expecting it to be faster, but more cores is always nice). 

This build behaved exactly the same, not difference in performance.

 

Im really considering returning the cpu and motherboard and getting a 9700k or 9900k instead. 

 

But first, is there anything going on here? Why are people benchmarking and getting 400 fps avg, vs my 190 avg with the same specs. 

Benches show quite near fps between the i9 and the 3700x / 3900x. But my pc cant even get close.

 

So what do you guys think? AMD cpus are bad for this game? Me getting cursed twice by silicon? 

 

Do you guys think its worth changing to intel? 

I do stream and would love a single pc stream setup, but seeing as the fps is just not good enough for me on my end (stream is fine) I need to do something.

I do have a 2950x threadripper I could use as a streaming pc too. 

 

None of my fps tests were taken during streaming.

 

Hope somebody can help! Thanks :)

 

TLDR:

New pc, 
3700x(and 3900x)

5700xt

850W gold EVGA

x570 gigabyte Aorus Elite

 

Bad performance, heavy fps drops in fortnite.

It's not the CPU,It's the GPU.

1080p /1440p resolution?

 

maybe background task have over load (some useless task still running)/maybe your gpu have trottle(temp reach 80 degree++)

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply to my issue!

 

Im sorry for not including resolution.

 

Im playing at 1080p, and not really having anything in the background. Ryzen master and discord. Cpu usage is at 10-20% and gpu usage at 60-70% usage while playing. 

Gpu is at 54-60 degrees celsius and cpu at 50-70.

 

I thought the 5700xt was supposed to be quite good? Just behind the 2070super?

You are supposed to get ~200 FPS,190 FPS is very close so everything performs how it should. (If you want more FPS then you need a better GPU)

[Nekos]

I'm sorry, but I cant deny the fact that a bunch of benchmarkers have results way higher than mine, using the same GPU. And on low settings, I would think that the card should handle more than 200 fps average and 1% lows down in the 30's. 

 

For instance:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-radeon-rx-5700-rx-5700-xt-review/ 

Here they get 141fps avg on ultra settings. 

 

Something just doesnt seem to be right, all benches show way better performance in fortnite than I get.

 

EDIT: It seems that when I dont cap the fps, the low 1% is higher too. Uncapped the game only have frame drops down in the 80-90s. Thats so strange. Why would the low 1% be affected by fps cap?

This is really interesting.

I have a 3900x with the Gigabyte Aorus x570 Elite as well. Except I have a 1080TI GPU.

 

My average early-mid gameis around 250-300fps.

 

However late game and this is regardless of how many people are in the lobby could be 30+ or just 10 people.... (probably about 4th zone onwards) i get fps drops to 30 and it makes end game almost impossible. I cannot work out the reason why... it's clearly capable of more as between the drops it's still 190+

While your issue isn't quite the same it's similar....

 

If anyone has any other ideas / resolutions if love to know...
