3060 Performance

[loganv2003]

I recently upgraded to the 3060 from a 1660 super and I was expected a decent performance jump but it was barely a jump at all unless im running a game using dlss, on my 1660s i would average 130-160 fps on valorant and on my 3060 i average 175 on a good day anyone know why??

Could you list full specs?

What CPU do you have?

Like others have pointed out already, your CPU is most probably a bottleneck... Especially in eSport titles.

when I upgraded my gpu I also upgraded to a Ryzen 5 3600 (It is currently oc because I thought that might've been the issue) a corsair h100i elite cooler, 600 watt psu and 32gb of ddr4 3200mhz ram and a b450f

Latency of the RAM?

Case?

CPU cooler?

GPU make and model?

PSU?

I already case the CPU cooler was a corsair h100i elite

Online FPS games need a strong CPU in addition to fast memory and fast GPU to get ultra high framerates like you seem to want.

 

Get a 5600x and you should see improvements.

 

And even then, sometimes game engine/network will limit framerate anyway.

That case is a hot box,

How are the thermals during gaming?

Indeed,It could be a limitation of the game engine or optimization issues.

55°c max on the cpu 60° max on the gpu

Hey I'm just generally curious, too, and this will likely strand away from the main conversation of this forum, but I'm considering on buying an eGPU for my dorm-gaming setup because I couldn't commit to a full-on gaming desktop with a notebook or to have a big, chunky gaming laptop that'll be a pain to carry around. So, I went with a Dell XPS 17 9700, specked with an i9-10885H, 32 GB of memory, 1 TB SSD, NVIDIA RTX 2060 Max-Q, and the base 1920*1200p display because it seems to fit my needs for my engineering applications in my 4 years of undergraduate, and it seems to handle AAA games on 1200p (i.e. 1080p for 16:10 screen ratio), medium/ high-ish settings at what seems to be 60 FPS. My gaming usage will mostly consist of single-player AAA shooters and racing games and Minecraft, but at the same time, when I'm in my dorm I want the 1440p, 144 Hz experience.

 

I already know that no matter if my eGPU is going back to my laptop screen or if it's going to an external display, I'm still going to experience some bottlenecking, but I've accepted that at this point. I also know that this costs a good amount of money, but fortunately, I've saved a lot of money, and I don't have to worry about it.

 

So, my question: Knowing that games like Resident Evil 8 measures graphics quality based on video memory (in the game settings), and that other games might follow suit, should I look for a 3060 with 12 GB of memory and slightly worse outright performance or a 3070 with 8 GB of memory and better outright performance?

 

Also, I'm very certain I'm wrong about my assumption about video game graphics/ processing, so I think I need an explanation for that, too.
