Desktop Performance Issue

[Caael]

Hi All,

 

I'm quite a novice PC builder and have recently completed my 3rd pc build.

I have what I think are pretty reasonable components and do not understand why I am getting sub-par performance at 1080p 144hz 

While gaming in E-Sports games like CSGO and League of legends I seem to only average anywhere from 100-200 frames on low graphics settings

I've been sitting on this for the last few weeks trying to figure out what it could be, I've gone into nividia and changed graphic settings there to optimise performance completely wiped and reinstalled my version of windows 10.

Moved the graphics card around etc. I can't seem to get it, I've come to the conclusion that it might be my RAM/PSU either being faulty or not supplying enough power to my rig. 

My Specs are as follows as per Userbench;

Game 94%, Desk 81%, Work 70%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 - 77.5%
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070S (Super) - 101.7%
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 120GB - 101.6%
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 2TB - 117.2%
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB - 51.5%
MBD: Asrock B450 Pro4
PSU: Corsair VS650 650W PSU  

* I also realise my motherboard only supports DDR4 ram at 2933MHZ, Currently, I have my ram running at 2800 MHZ 

I hope this isn't the problem 

 
All and any help will be much appreciated

And what's your PSU then ?

Uhh Sorry about that i forgot to include it, its a Corsair VS650 650W PSU

Yep, that might be it. Replace it with smth appropriate to this GPU.

Tier A and up 550W+ :

Ahhhh Yeah i skimped out alittle bit on the PSU, it was a spare and i thought i'd give it a go. Before i go ahead and and buy a new PSU, this is my userbench score: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/22851360 and my Ram is serverly under performing, if not my PSU what else could it be?

 

Many thanks

Did you check for drops in cpu/gpu-clocks while playing?

No i havent, What would be the best way to go about it?

Check timings, how did you set it at 2800MHz ?

I went into my bios enabled XMP profile 1 and manually set the MHZ to 2800

I wouldn't overrate userbenchmark but this user seem to have way better settings. Did you put it in slot 2 and 4 and did you set dualchannel in bios?

Did you set it to DDR 2800 or MHZ 2800?

I didnt do much else in the bios apart from change the frequency 

 

This is what i changed, i selected XMP 2.0 Profile 1 from Auto and changed the DRAM frequency to 2800 from 3200

[Sir0Tek]

So it should be DDR2800 (1400mhz). Userbench shows 2133, I assume it's 1066mhz then so the mainboard is ignoring both, your XMP and the DDR2800 setting. Doesn't it provide DRAM-frequency automatically(or XMP as parameter) if XMP is chosen?

Ahh this is the right bench, https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/22855266 i had done a few at different frequencys to get a comparrison of performance. yes it does automatically choose dram frequency once ive selected the XMP, it sets the frequency at 3200. But since my MOBO does not support 3200 so i change it to 2800
