Ryzen 3 1300x

[zaidh99]

I have a Ryzen 3 1300x, I tried to run Warzone and the game keeps crashing (I know this problem happens with different people). 
My question here is this CPU bad or too old for games like Warzone, R6 and PUBG. When I open the task manager, mainly on Warzone, the CPU is on 100% for other games its around 70-85% EVEN League of legends. 
I downloaded Anti-Virus and 3 threats found and fixed and updated my drivers. 
So tl;dr is that I want to know if the CPU is weak or there is a problem I can fix.

WHAT. R. UR. SPECS?

[F.E.A.R.]

Bro you should post your whole specs there's no way the CPU is causing the problem.

And it was more focused on why does my CPU be always on 100% usage!!
I was sure that it isnt any other of my PC specs but here it is
GPU: GTX 1050 ti 
CPU: Ryzen 3 1300x
Ram: 16GB 2400MHZ 
SSD: 500GB
HDD: 1TB 
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING
Dont think there is anything left. 
But as I said I am focusing on why is it on 100% usage.

I posted in the replies. My bad.

Cpu is lacking thread count.

 

We use a 1400 on the HTPC at home and it games decently with a gtx 980. So our gaming experience is decent while the cpu has 8 threads.

 

I think the 1300x being only 4 cores may not be useful for games that utilize more than 4 threads.

 

On top of the antivirus, also run a Malwarebytes scan too.

Sorry I didnt get that. 
So you are saying that the CPU IS the problem right?

If its locked at 100% yes indeed. Because the games you are running may use more than 4 cores.

 

I think 8 cores or 8 threads would be a gaming standard now a days

It's at 100% usage because the 1300X is an old quad core CPU 4C/4T. But you may need to format (reinstall) Windows since you said that you have found unwanted threats and programs running in the background, since that also eats up RAM usage, not just CPU. But this will partially fix the problems. You need to upgrade your CPU at least get a Ryzen 1600 or an 1600AF. Also your motherboard supports up to 2666MHz RAM speed, which is not enough for a Ryzen CPU.

Can I do something other than buying a better CPU?

I hear about overclocking but idk if it helps here.

It wont really help to OC that chip. 

Sry for the bad news

Nope you'll just have to save up money, overclocking the CPU won't save CPU usage.

So I should upgrade my CPU. Got it. 
So what CPU I should get? Lets see I had little money, average and a good amount. Suggest three CPUs to upgrade to considering the  prices. 
Is the motherboard necessary? Because I recently got the other 8GB 2400MHZ

Boatd is fine, update the bios.

 

1600 1600AF 2600 2600x 2700x or 3600x

1600AF if it's not in stock the 1600 then, or the 2600. The motherboard is fine you can upgrade down the line. You can sell your Mobo and RAM later on and buy a better mobo that supports up to 3600MHz RAM.

Okay, you all too experts I look dumb. What "update the bios"? 
Okay thanks!.

Okay I will keep that in mind, thank a lot!!

I almost did the 1200 and 1300 for the HTPC. Seeing this, happy with the 1400.

If its cheap like 65 bucks, that would be ok too. 

 

The list I provided would make good entry level gaming chips.

Im mobile but you can always look to the mother board manual. Its really quite easy.

I just dont really know what it means or what it is. 
I would google it if you think there is how to do it

Oh you mean to "update the bios"?

I'm sorry, I'll try and explain!!
 

The bios is the firmware that runs the motherboard. It also contains the "code" for processor support, Memory compatibility, and also system performance (North Bridge/South Bridge chipsets, along with other peripherals on the board) also system stability.

 

So updating the bios will most of the time have a positive effect. 

The bios update may have a positive effect on your current situation, but likely nothing special to give you the performance you need in thread count.

 

In short to update bios:

 

You go to the Asus site and look up your "strix b350" motherboard. DL the latest Bios revision. 

Un-Zip the bios file onto a blank USB drive. Put the drive into a USB port.

Go to bios and use the bios update utility called EZ Flash. 

You locate and "read file". You will be prompted to update this file, click yes.

Wait. ..... . It does take a few minutes. If it seems like it's hung up, no... please keep waiting.

Do as prompted. It will ask you to reset all defaults and restart or shut down and clear the cmos 

 

*cmos is the saved settings for the motherboard concerning time, HD boot order, CPU settings ect ect. When you "clear cmos", you restore the board to defaults. This also helps with some errors that occur from changing memory settings and so forth.

 

If you have questions, feel free. You'll do this twice and literally be a pro at it.
