Poor Performance

[William.e]

Specs:

M.2 SSD Samsung

Mini itx b450 mobo

Msi rtx 1660

Sfx 600w psu

Corsair rgb ram 2x8gb 3200mhz

R7 2700x

120mm aio cooler.

 

My new pc I built is running pretty ok but not as well as I expected. The fps in games is not as good as I expected and I'd like to know what the bottleneck is of my system. Personally I think it might be the ram speed or the cpu speed since I have a non overclockable mobo. Also games crash frequently and I dknt know why. I have installed all drivers and updated them

B and X series AMD motherboards are fully capable of overclocking

Enable XMP (or DOCP) in the BIOS. If you didn't, your ram is running at 2133 which is definitely hurting performance.

[William.e]

Thank you I will try that and a cpu oc and see how it goes

Yeah B series motherboards support overclocking and if you motherboard doesn't specifically support XMP (mine don't) you will need to manually set your memory speeds

What is the temp of the CPU when you put load on it? Can you go to the Store app in Windows to download Cinebench, run it and post your score?

[William.e]

Under load. High settings rdr2 it's at like 55c  I'll try the cine bench I a few minutes

Make sure you quote us so we see your responses.

 

You could look up how to enable Precision Boost Overdrive in your BIOS, which would boost CPU performance without the need for manual overclock.

ok i will enable that and then run a cinebench test to comapre to average scores for my specs to see if anything is wrong

i got 3899 on the cinebench test

Seems normal to me. I wonder how many FPS did you escpect from a GTX 1660 (the 1660 is not a RTX card by the way). Can you list some games that you play and roughly how many FPS they produce.

 

What version of Nvidia drivers are you running? Did you grab them from the Nvidia site? Did you change any settings in the Nvidia control panel?

 

I am a bit dissapointed too with my RTX 2060 Super, it cost a small fortune... Regardless the CPU doesn't seem to be the culprit here, you scored more than me in Cinebench and you have a less powerful graphics card so I'm pretty sure the card is holding you back, after all my 2060 Super is holding me back with a less powerful CPU. List some games though, if FPS seems to low then maybe we should try to DDU your graphics drivers and reinstall.

RDR2 high setting i get around 40 in city areas and 60 in nature. R6 i get around 200 fps on all low settings. 250 fps in csgo on all low. This is pretty good so i tihnk i might just get a better gpu so i can crank up the settings and still get good fps.

I cranked the settings kinda high in RDR2 but not as high as I'd like hehe. In forest I think I got around low 50 if not high 40, don't remember exactly, I had to RMA my NVMe and I haven't played any games because I had to nuke two SSD's with games on them just so I could install Windows and use my computer...

 

I think you would benefit from a better GPU, but maybe save up and wait for the RTX 3000 cards that should start to come at summertime. Anyway I think the 2060 Super was a bit meh as well (for it's price anyway..) so I reccommend a higher tier if it is possible.

 

Anyway could be useful to compare benchmark score in either 3DMark or Superposition to see IF your card is performing as it should. There should be free version on Steam for you to download of 3DMark. https://store.steampowered.com/app/223850/3DMark/

 

I didn't see it and if you can't either then Superposition does a similar job, available for free here.

RDR2 will never be a "high frames game" until next gen comes out. Keep in mind when you look at those benchmarks, it's with a i9 OCd to 5ghz. With my i9 non OCd and a 2070, I average closer to 60, but that's playing at 1440p.

Probably better off to wait until 3000 series GPUs and upgrade then. 2000s will probably drop a bit. Not sure your budget, but it's quite a bit of money for not much more "visible" performance.
