@FloRolf my pc is not performing like it should is what im trying to say

 

[Swif bro]

@wkdpaul all the settings in the game are set to low and the screen res in the game is 1656x1080

 

[Juular]

At lowest settings ? Quite possibly, obviously it's not possible on ultra or i'm pretty sure even at medium settings.

Okay, what FPS are you having ?

[Swif bro]

@Juular im getting around 115-130 some times i get 144  

[Juular]

Seems pretty good for this config, you see, it\s old gen Zen CPU locked because of A320 chipset. BTW what PSU do you have ?

Also, installing latest Windows 10 version (1909) and updating UEFI to latest revision might help a bit, also enable Ryzen balanced power plan.

if your gpu is at 100% usage, lower settings/overclock it. If it isnt, then you an either overclock your cpu, or cry and buy a new one.

Edit: you can't overclock your cpu, my B

Open the Control Panel, click on Power Options, and then select the plan from the list of options.

You need to go to your motherboard vendors website and find your motherboards support page, then look under drivers and tools(?) and look for the chipset driver, install it and it also installs the ryzen power plans, after a restart go to power&sleep settings > Additional power settings on the right-hand side and there you go

@Juular i only see hp recommend and high performance and high performance is already selected

@Swif bro

 

As mentioned, you need that latest BIOS, drivers and Windows version for that to be available.

[Swif bro]

@wkdpaul can you walk me threw this 

 

[PaygiN]

Your config won't run at 144, it probably ran ftn at those during 1-5/6 season, im on i5 7500 and GTX 1060 6GB and also not hitting the 144 my average is 130, it's fine

@Swif bro

For your motherboard, you'll have to find the BIOS version first, when you have the version you're using,

 

Steps for the BIOS updates ;

• You have to make sure to update to F32 if you're under that version,
• From F32, update to F40,
• Then you can update to the latest (F50).

 

Latest BIOS for your motherboard ;

https://www.gigabyte.com/ca/Motherboard/GA-A320M-S2H-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios

 

 

Latest Drivers for your motherboard ;

https://www.gigabyte.com/ca/Motherboard/GA-A320M-S2H-rev-1x/support#support-dl-driver-chipset

 

Latest drivers for your GPU ;

https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/radeon-500-series/radeon-rx-500-series/radeon-rx-580

 

 

For Windows, press the keys Win+R

In the popup, type winver

Report on the version you have (1803? 1809? 1903? 1909? etc...)

1. 1st gen Zen isnt good with high frame rates at all

 

2. HP power plan... Is this an OS install from an HP system?

If it is an HP system, that could be the problem right there.  HP always comes with a lot of bloatware.  Hell over time people just tend to install a lot of bloatware that bogs down the system.  Generally speaking I find that over a couple years you find yourself losing like 10% performance from the day when it was pristine and new.  I kind of consider it just "wear and tear" due to using a system like it is intended.
