Upgrading my Setup

Alekss2112

Budget (including currency): 600€

Country: Slovenia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Anything ranging from League of Legends, to Anno 1800, Sea of Thieves, Rainbow Six Siege, Warzone

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I've currently got this build but for some reason I am not achieving the desired FPS (144FPS) on my 144HZ Monitor.

I play a lot of Warzone and  barely hit 80 FPS even on medium settings witch compared to some benchmarks I've looked at on youtube is not great. Any advice on upgrades / fixes is apreaciated.

Just wait for the 3000 series to go down to normal prices.

I was looking more in the ballpark of a motherboard, ram swap, cooler swap, anything that would boost my performance. Was told the 2080 Super is as good as the RTX 3070 so wasn't planning on swapping them out yet.

You should be fixing the problem with your game instead of getting a new CPU when you already have a very good i9-9900K. With your setup you should be able to essentially lock 144hz 1080p on high settings in warzone. So lets get to the root of the problem of why you are getting 80 fps on medium settings. Post screenshots of your warzone graphics settings. I expect that you either have RTX enabled or you accidentally set your render scale past 100 or maybe your monitor is 1440p144hz?

SPEC LIST:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X w/ NZXT Kraken Z73 360mm Liquid Cooler
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3090 FE
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) 5000MHz CL18
  • Motherboard: MSI MEG X570 Godlike
  • SSD: Samsung 980 Pro PCIe 4.0 1TB (x3)
  • PSU: Corsair AX1600i
  • Case: NZXT H710
  • Monitor: Alienware AW2521H 25inch 360Hz 1ms

Everything you have is fine apart from the GPU. Another thing you can do is buy another 2TB identical disk and Raid0 them so your games load faster.

 

Most games are GPU dependent so changing motherboard or ram would not make any difference. GPU prices are inflated right now so you will get a good price selling your 2080.

My monitor can go 1440p@144hz but I am running it at 1080p@144hz, I've included my Warzone Settings screenshot for more clarification. Its also not just Warzone that is causing problems, games like Anno 1800 and Apex Legends prove to be a challenge to run at 144hz running at medium settings...

Thats weird. Try the warzone in-game fps counter and cpu and gpu time counters and let me know what the cpu and gpu times are. That way we'll know whether the problem is the cpu or gpu.

Sorry for the late response was suffering from the Corona. After testing with gpu and cpu timers on the average is about 7-8ms on both. Thank you.

If your gpu and cpu times are 7ms that means you are getting 143 fps. The times mean how long it takes in milliseconds for each frame to be generated by both the cpu and gpu. So if the cpu is 7ms and gpu is 8ms that means that cpu fps is 1000ms(one second) divided by 7ms equals 143fps. And gpu time being 8ms means 1000ms/8ms=125fps. So how are you getting 80? Can you use the in-game fps counter with both gpu and cpu timing counters and take a screenshot when the fps is at a value you are typically seeing in warzone

Can you use the in-game fps counter with both gpu and cpu timing counters and take a screenshot when the fps is at a value you are typically seeing in warzone

Will do when I get home, I am using the ingame frame counter and it shows anywhere from 50-90 fps even on constant 7-8 ms gpu times...

If the in-game fps counter reads 50fps then one of either the cpu time or the gpu time should read 20ms at the same second since 1000/20=50. Figuring out which component is causing the poor fps is the first troubleshooting step 🙂
