Ryzen 3600X + RTX 3090 at 1440p, Averages 220 FPS, dips below 200 FPS

[Slyceth]

As the title said, I have this combination of CPU and GPU, with a Noctua DH-15 fan and 5 case fans, so there can't be thermal issues.

What else could be causing this low of an fps? Is there something I'm missing? My monitor is the LG-27GN850. Latest GPU drivers.

This is what I should be expecting, correct?:

What BIOS was this (the bench picture) done on?  Reviewer sample may not be what you received in terms of BIOS and/or game updates that have occurred since?

Dont forget you dont have a  clean system. they use clean installs

[FavoringWinter]

that seems about right. Keep in mine that you are looking at the 1% lows, meaning those are just some frame drops. I would say it is still really good considering it is ultra nightmare quality and 1440p. I feel like maybe the drivers will get better and performance will improve, but I don't know. There are  lots of unknown factors in this benchmark. make sure you ddu drivers also

I have a clean system, completely new, built yesterday from scratch.

His 1% lows are 222 FPS, my 1% lows are around 190 FPS. Averages 220 FPS, with his being 291 FPS. My results are what you would expect from a 2080 Super or 2080 Ti, not a 3090.

what ram do you have? what speed are you running it at?

Here are the 3dmark benchmark results with all the information: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/51623799?

[Slyceth]

I have managed to run a 3dmark test, could you take a look at the results and see if they hold up?

your ram is running at 2133, instead of its rated speed.

make sure it's in slots 2 and 4, go in bios and enable xmp (docp).

that should increase performance by a lot.

Your ram is running at 2133, make sure you enable xmp, or if you only have 2133 ram, get faster ram ryzen loves fast ram

Alright I've re-ran the test with XMP enabled, and I also pressed the MSI Game Boost button, these are the results: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/51624441?

Thanks a LOT by the way for the XMP suggestion, I had no idea!

did it increase your fps in doom?

Yes! It now lines up perfectly with the picture, also not going lower than 240, and flicking back and forth between a 290-310-320 average.

I'm running this game off an HDD by the way, Seagate backup plus hub 8tb, do you think it can go even higher if I run it off an SSD?

you'll get faster loading times, but not higher fps from the ssd.

It's crazy how much ryzen loves fast ram. I knew it was a big performance difference , but I didn't realize it was that big. SSD does not effect fps (i think), but more the loading times. I have doom eternal on my MX500 SSD and it loads fast
