Possible GPU/CPU Bottleneck

[Matheus Crook]

Hello friends, since i finished my computer from that time until now, i've been noticing a gradual bottleneck from one of the two, and i dont know how to accuse which one is the problem, but my gpu is barely going above the 60% of usage playing not only heavy games, but on high/ultra configs, the cpu also stays at 30/40% of usage, both not even close to overheating. All parts have atleast 1 year of usage since i bought them new.

 

SPECS: GTX 1060

              Ryzen 5 2600

              2x Maxsun DDR4 8GB

              800W EVGA Power Supply

              Motherboard Biostar TB350-BTC

 

Gta V on medium/high settings run at 60-70 fps, but with spikes dropping to 35-40 easily, even worse on FiveM, which even on low is a f* nightmare.

The 1060 is kinda old, you should upgrade to a 1660 or a 2060. That is prob. a bottleneck.

Maybe a driver issue? You should see much better fps in GTA V, I get the same numbers on a GTX 960 2GB at high settings, 1080p. What are the actual temperatures of your CPU and GPU while gaming?

Is your ram running fast? Make sure with the program CPU-Z that it's at the rated speed

Ramspeed activated to it's Max? (XMP/DOCP?)
Motherboard Updates done?

so uhm, gta v with all options on high and only high, the gpu is working at 63°ish and the cpu 40°ish too, around those values, again those same 60-65 fps with some bad spikes, sometimes the fps just holds the spike and i play around 50-55.

my ram is running at 1333 mhz with gta v open on one monitor and multi-tasking on the second, 4,8 gb available.

What resolution did you set while playing. Is there something else running the background? The game does not use all 6 cores but the GPU should be fully utilized while gaming.

It's a bit slow for ryzen, you might see a large performance improvement if you overclock that ram or get higher speed memory. 

 

Ryzen's core to core communication is dependent on ram speed and latency

updated the board 4 days ago, ram working on it's own, no XMP/DOCP neither EOCP

ok so uh... something is wrong for real

How so?

2666Mhz could very well be stable at 2933,.. and 3000,3200 speeds, with tuning accordingly..

yea that is what i'm referring to, it doesnt make any sense even on stress the memory work at that clock lmao, gonna try playing a lil bit with that.

I can't tell what you mean by that, your screenshot shows a completely normal 2666 memory kit running at rated speed.

it runs at the same speed even on stress, that's the problem, even dho it's dual channel both ram's stay on the exact same clock always

not a single thing out of the ordinary there

the thing is, it's not running actually at 2666 as it's supposed to, not even close to that, and it's not an automatic cap, it seems like a manufacture frequency cap

[Matheus Crook]

anyways, i still dont know what to do fr, i just bought this gpu like last year along with the memory and cpu, i thought atleast balanced between the medium/high settings it would work, even dho it's not a big deal nowadays, still it's a strong gpu. I live in brazil, it's almost impossible for me to upgrade my pc with the price of the dollar like that ffs

I don't understand, the CPU-Z tab says it's running at 2666, every jedec spec is listed as 1333 (the single data rate of 2666)

 

you can check the memory tab to confirm, as opposed to the SPD tab.

I still recommend starting with faster ram and selling your current ram, because that would result in a relatively inexpensive upgrade cost to you.

i ramped the freq cap to 3000 but left the voltage the same way, before i understand well how it works, i never needed to overclock memory, so i'm really dumb on that

looks good, the only downside is that the latency is pretty high but it's definitely not a downgrade from the stock 2666 experience.

 

How does performance look?

no difference i think, as i mentioned before i left the voltage the same way, but through some search the 3000 mhz should be around 1.4v, i gotta tweak it myself and find the perfect oc xd

hopefully the higher voltage will allow you to lower the timings since they're also quite important. sub 20 would be pretty good to shoot for on the CL
