Bad frames on good pc?

[snythh]

I have a 5600x and a 3070 and am only running 100-144 frames on VALORANT, which is fairly easy to run. My motherboard bios is on the AGESA version 1.0.8.0. Would updating my bios to a version that has AGESA 1.1.0.0 fix these bad frames or not?

Is your ram running at the correct speed? Did you make sure there aren't any software problems?

 

I would not put the BIOS version as the most likely culprit

Running at 2133, last time I tried to oc it using DOCP my computer would not boot and I had to reset CMOS.

The slow ram speed is killing performance. Ryzen's core to core communication relies heavily on ram.

 

Manually enter the speeds instead of using DOCP to see if you can improve your performance. Set the voltage, frequency, and timings yourself (and feel free to be generous with voltage for the sake of stability, 1.35 is a good place to start)

I really don't want to oc my ram again, kind of nervous about doing it since resetting CMOS is a pain.

XMP is not really oc, but not really stock either XMP can have problems. try settinbg only the speed and voltage manually and leave the timings to auto. see if it boots. if it does then try to set the timings manually.

You will not be able to improve your performance without faster ram, an Agesa update won't change the experience.

 

2133 is pitifully slow. Perhaps you can return your current kit and get a different one.

My ram is rated for 3600 cl18. I've read and seen that my 5600x can only run 3200? Is that wrong?

The official speed supported is 3200 but you can run higher speeds with OC (which is what you would be doing with DOCP at that speed)

 

Is there more than one DOCP profile? Perhaps you should enable DOCP and manually reduce the speed, try to 3466 or 3200
