Pc is not performing as expected, what could be the reason?

[moonman332]

Hello everyone, I recently upgraded to a new pc with the following specs:

 

- Ryzen 5 3600 (With stock cooler since im not overclocking)

- RTX 2060 SUPER MSI GAMING X

- 16gb ram 3200mhz hyperx rgb

- Asus TUF b450m PLUS mobo

- samsung 860 EVO m.2 SSD (OS) 

- Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB (For games)

- Gamemax RGB 550w PSU

 

Now my problem is the performance, when I compare my benchmarks to other benchmarks with the same specs but different companies, I am slightly lower than them, for example someone gets 110 fps with this rig and im getting 90, also let's not forget that this is in 1080p.

 

Temps:

- CPU: 68-70c in-game / 40-48c in desktop

- GPU 65c in-game / 40c in desktop

 

Usage in-game:

- GPU: 98-100%

- CPU: 25-40% (I noticed in Squad my usage was 25%)

 

What could be the reason for all of this? I tried a fresh reinstall for windows, could it be a faulty component? Perhaps my HDD? This harddrive is 4 years old btw.

i highly doubt it's the hdd. i have an 11 year old drive in my rig (i'm not stupid it only has games on it calm down) and it works fine for just loading games. 

 

did you check that everything runs at the proper clock speed?

GPU clock speed is at 1950 in game, not sure about other components since I don't know how to check their clock speed.

task manager, performance tab.

I wouldn't expect the HDD to be at fault. Does crystal disk still say it's good?

 

Did you enable XMP in the bios?

Keep in mind that others might have overclocked their cpu and gpu before running the benchmarks. And that your gpu might not boost as high. You can use Afterburner to see if you're running into voltage/power limits.

Then yes everything looks normal to me, CPU is 3.9ghz in desktop and around 4 ghz - 4.1 ghz in-game

 

Ram is running at 3200mhz too, so it looks normal.

I downloaded crystal disk but im not sure how to use it, yes I enabled XMP, except it's called something else since im on amd.

 

I also don't think 20-30 FPS increase is possible from overclock.

Crystal disk should run it's test when you start it. Select your drive in the top. Health status should be "Good". You can also see the power On Hours and count to see how many hours your 4y/o drive has been running. Not that it really matters.

 

I personally don't have experience with userbenchmark.

There is your problem right there.

 

Every system is different and if all settings look OK (XMP and boost clocks etc) and you are getting more FPS than you need then all is fine.

 

You are likely worrying over nothing here.

I don't really care about how many fps I need, I care about how many fps this rig can get up to, i'm more of a "the more the better" guy, so when I see a 20-30 fps difference in games like resident evil 3, or 10-20 fps difference in hitman 2 compared to another rig with the same specs, it doesn't make sense.

I did the test and it looks green.

Can you see the cpu clock speed and gpu speeds of the person running 100fps?

I know you can in 3Dmark but it might be hidden away.

I can't see the cpu clock speed but the gpu speed is at 1900mhz, i also noticed sometimes in some locations in the game (hitman 2) i would get the same fps but when i walk into a room full with people at the exact same time he does, his fps is higher than mine by 20-30, he also has the same ram speed.
