New Build low FPS

Problem, or just me: Hi Guys,

I've just recently build a PC. Here's the build:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 1200

RAM: Patroit Viper 2x4 GB DDR4 3000 Memory

GPU: STRIX GTX 970

MotherBoard:ASrock B450 Pro4-F

PSU:EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX 

Monitor:HANNS G By HANNSPREE


First off, you may have 3000 speed ram, but unless you can say for sure its running at that XMP its likely just at 2133, most Ryzen 1000 CPUs+mobos can't handle 3000 speed but it does appear to be supported on your motherboards QVL, atleast for 2933, check in BIOS and see if you can apply XMP for that speed, it will help. 

970 is a decent card, but honestly R3 1200 is a pretty slow CPU, big specific problem being its a 4core 4thread, and most games look for about 8+ threads these days.  That said you have a decent motherboard, if you stuck with Ryzen 1000 series due to cost you could happily and easily upgrade to a 1600(x) or 1700(x) later and likely see big gains, furthermore with proper bios updates you could upgrade to any of the ryzen 2000 or 3000 6 and 8 core CPUs comfortably, probably run the recent 12 core stock no problem (maybe even the 16 core with good case airflow.)


Check your ram module number, if its "PV48G300C6K" then its the type i think it is, and is thus supported for Ryzen 2000 for your mobo, so that is a upgrade path, and likewise if it works for Ryzen 2000 (120$ for R5 1600) it almost certainly works for Ryzen 3000 if you ever had money for CPU upgrade (200$ for R5 3600)

Basically your CPU is kinda weak, but you have good parts for future upgrades, so if you don't mind the performance keep the computer as it is, and luckily for you, you have a easy upgrade path to a very modern system in the future.. 


To conclude with potential upgrade path, give you info incase you become interested in that, this isn't your exact board, or exact bios updates you would want, but similar earlier (sister) board, procedure for updating BIOS should be the same.  Basic jist is with ASRock you usually want to update BIOS in up from the current one you have, don't just install the newest BIOS available coming from a old bios, likewise you may need to install VGA driver.  Just follow all instructions on website

Still when i'm playing a game like League of Legends i get FPS drops to 60-70 when it gets crowded. I would think that i shouldn't be happening with this build or am I wrong? or is it normal?

 

I have already ran DDU and installed latest Nvidia drivers but it didn't help.

 

With my old GPU,CPU,PSU and motherboard i was getting same frames and these were pretty bad pc parts.

 

I was wonder are these frames normal for my PC?

 

I hope you guys can help?or is it me not understanding.

That might be normal FPS with your current system. What was your old systems specs before?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X   Motherboard: MSI X570 Gaming Edge Wifi   Case: Deepcool Maxtrexx 70   GPU: RTX 3090   RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3x16GB 3200 MHz   PSU: Super Flower 850W
