What should i upgrade?.

[Kijlok25]

Hi my name is Denis. And a few years ago I purchased my first Gaming Pc.

A few months ago I upgraded some components but yet to reach the ultimate performance I'm looking for.

If u can help me this will be amazing.

GPU:RTX 2070 SUPER OC 

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600(base clock 4.0GHZ) speed 4.2GHZ(OC)

MotherBoard: GIGABYTE AB350 GAMING 3

PSU: CORSAIR 650W

Ram: 2x8 DDR4 corsair vengeance 2400MHZ(OC to 3200 manually)(dk if stable)

 

Looking for ur response guys

Thanks.

 

Btw i also use VR  a lot and kinda laggy in some games.

You're missing loads of information.

• What you play
• What monitor you have
• What settings you want to reach
• What workloads you do
• What performance you'd like to see in those

Its hard to say what you should upgrade without knowing what your goals are... gaming? What resolution?

 

To check for RAM stability, I would read up on and follow guides at: https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/master/DDR4 OC Guide.md

 

If its not stable, dial it back. You really don't want unstable RAM.

 

And to test total system stability, use Asus realbench: https://rog.asus.com/rog-pro/realbench-v2-leaderboard/

1080P 60hz monitors. Want to get maximum from every game. Yet vr is 72HZ so about 72+ fps.

I play VR games

Cod/CSGO/MARVEL/intensive games. Overall

1920x1080 60hz 

For gaming. I NEVER edit.

Ill run a stability test in a sec

For 1080p, your system is more than fine.... What is the "ultimate performance" you feel you don't have? A 2070S is more than enough for 1080p gaming. If you feel like you need an upgrade, possibly see what the 3060 has to offer, of what big Navi has. But there should be basically nothing that machine can't do at 1080p. If you can find someone selling a 2080 for cheap trying to upgrade to a 3080, maybe pick that up if you can get it for a good price.

I got this GPU  a few weeks ago. GPU upgrade isn't an option. Maybe RAM? it's old and it's the only component that effects performance. (The one I didn't upgrade)

RAM is the thing that affects performance the least, and if its actually stable at 3200, thats about the best you can ask for anyways. What latencies are you running it at? But either way, I wouldn't really upgrade anything.... Nothing except a better GPU will make much of a difference. A faster CPU would up your FPS some at 1080p, but the only "real" option for "noticeable" gains would be going intel, which would require a new mobo as well. Save your money and get a better monitor, that will be the largest increase for you. 144 Hz 1440p would be really nice.

RAM in AMD CPU's can really effect performance. yet I'm not getting the frames I'm supposed to get and I don't know why. 
this is so frustrating that I spent like 800USD so I can upgrade my PC.

maybe my CPU is not getting enough Voltage

maybe my RAM isn't getting enough Voltage.

how do I check/know.

i legit have no idea what can be wrong with my PC

"instability detected!(Handbrake)

doesn't give a message what is unstable

So, not getting the performance you expect could be due to instability.... Adding more votlage to things won't just magically "make things work" or "perform how you want them to". You need to be methodical about overclocking.

 

With this, I would set your RAM back to XMP, remove that possible instability. Then stress test again, that way we will know if its the CPU. If its not stable, you need to tweak your CPU OC. If it is stable, we know its likely the RAM that was not stable.

Yes, RAM speed matters, but it matters a lot less then your GPU and CPU speed. With that said, lets solve your stability issues and then go from there.

 

Run the raelbench stress test for 8 hours once your set your RAM back to XMP then report back.
