Where is my Bottleneck!

I just installed an AMD 5600 XT and I am running at approx 60 fps on ultra for Witcher 3, 70 on Overwatch on Ultra. I have two items I need to upgrade - my AMD Ryzen 5 1400 and my single 8gb 2400 DDR4 ram. I see the benchmarks getting drastically higher levels with my card. What is holding me back from the 120fps on Overwatch and 85 fps on Witcher?

 

Thanks for your help!

found the main issue. dual channel gives massive bandwidth improvements, and faster memory does as well. Any cheap DDR4 with 3000MHz or higher is pretty inexpensive and should yield quite the boost

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Get a 2x4 or 2x8gb 3000mhz ram kit and you should already see a big improvement.

Also if you are consistently stuck at 60fps make sure you don't have a 60hz display set at 60hz with vsyc on

Two boosts are valid...
The Dual Channel aspect of the pipeline,... & Faster Frequencies for the pipeline.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Believe it or not, Overwatch is one of those games where RAM speed really matters.  Going from 2133 to 3000 can give about 100FPS increase.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.
