Your RAM. You've got 2133 MT/s RAM and that is definitely holding you back.

Upgrade to 3200 or 3600 C16.

There's also a point where it wont feel any faster, if your monitor is 60Hz, as the time it takes to display what its doing is the same.

Upgrading to a higher refresh monitor makes your PC feel MUCH more responsive in the general UI itself, as you see it reacting faster.

It's quad channel HEDT. His (and my) puny slow RAM has more bandwidth than your uber gamer 3600MHz setup  EDIT: also he's OC'd it

 

Which of these manyy drives hold what?

Nothing looking wrong then.

 

At worst the OS might be corrupted/bloated and a reinstall might help, but otherwise I'd just say wrong expectations (and we need a better definition of "not feeling fast" to understand).

[LogicalDrm]

Please explain what you actually mean? What is your issue, in which games, what settings and so on. Just specs alone tell hardly anything.

[missing1981]

It feels like it is very sluggish in windows when clicking on folders bus the main problem is in games like Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War it seems to take ages to load and that icons in the store take forever to load and I would expect more than 80 fps on ultra settings at 1440 p with Ray tracing on and DLSS on to compensate for it

 

I may just be a noob and that is normal for my system spec and if so when I have saved my pennies (and you can actually get hold of one I want a RTX 3090 hopefully a Ti version by then it's going to be over a year till there available at least)

 

but thanks for everyone's advice

[Kilrah]

Ray tracing on 20 series is slooooooow compared to 30 series, not surprising there. Been widely considered as "hey, this is what you're going to be able to have in the future, but for now it's useless since the performance is so bad".

 

If responsiveness is bad in Windows then it's likely a software issue.

Slowness in loading could indicate something wrong with drives the OS or games are installed on. Or software issue with Windows like @Kilrah said. For example some updates may cause such issues, could be also some background process or even malware.

I am using a clean install windows 10 no malware 

I will run some benchmarks and post results

maybe I'm just expecting more than there is

You have the makings of a very nice system, and as Kilrah said it could be the RAM (speed?).

 

Also, ray trading really isn't worth the performance hit.

 

Turn it off, and you should get a very nice frame rate at 1440p...especially if you enable DLSS.

I ran the following benchmarks

is my PC mark a little low?

change your boot drive to the 2tb 970 evo plus when you get it, it has 1GB of SDRAM as opposed to 512 megs on the 500gb 970 evo plus

if anything, it would help somewhat

then try uninstalling it, download a fresh copy check the sha256 of the iso and install it again

[missing1981]

Thanks for your help everyone 

I will get the 2TB evo plus (maby 2)

and 32GB of Memory Quad Channel kit (just not sure which one yet)  maby https://www.ebuyer.com/772409-g-skill-trident-z-rgb-32gb-kit-ddr4-cl16-3466mhz-ram-f4-3466c16q-32gtzr

Going to rip out the old mechanical drives 

and wait forever for a rtx 3090 lol

 

lets see how that helps

i have been thinking about getting a threadripper and using this as a secondary pc we will see depends on costs and availability
