New GPU Same Fps

[Alex Miller]

I've recently upgraded my GPU from a 1660 super to an EVGA RTX 3060 and added another 16GB of ram, and have noticed in a few games that the fps is similar to my old card and I can not find out why. I have updated to the most recent GeForce driver  (471.41), updated to the most recent windows update and still nothing. The games I am having this issue in are Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, and Valorant.

 

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

EVGA RTX 3060 XC Gaming

32GB DDR4 3000MHz

Gamdas 80 plus bronze 550 watt PSU

 

Previous Specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super OC

16GB DDR4 3000MHz

Gamdas 80 plus bronze 550 watt PSU

 

I have 16GB (2x8) of OLOy 16-18-18-36 3000MHz (Clocked at 3000MHz) Slots 1 and 3

Then 16GB (2x8) of Corsair Vengence RGB Pro 16-18-18-36 3200MHz (Clocked at 3000MHz) Slots 2 and 4

What were the framerates you were getting before and what is it now? Do you have any frame limiting / VSync in those games?

Those games also just so happen to be very CPU reliant games. So maybe you would be just better turning up the graphics.

It might also have to do with gsync being on. With it on for me, my 3090 only gets me about 143 fps in apex legends.

Which indicates (depending a bit on resolution) it's CPU-bound at that point if no sync options are active. Gsync alone shouldn't cap FPS as far as I know, but Gsync+Vsync will IIRC.

 

As said, those games are graphically on the easy-to-run side of things, so the bottleneck is much more on the CPU/memory side.

i was getting around 300 or so and now im getting around 350 sometimes 300. i was seeing benchmark videos for my exact specs and their getting 500+ fps

not surprised that this would happen at such high fps.

You playing siege at 1080p?

I was able to fix the siege and overwatch issue, the render resolution was 1.4x. I also found out Dynamic super resolution was on. But valorant I’m still not getting what I think it should be. I just want to make sure I’m getting what I payed for

I haven’t tried removing the 16GB I added do you think that could have affected anything? I also tried turning on DOCP/XMP and noticed a slight drop in FPS.

About the RAM in MY opinion you would not see that many diference between 16GB vs 32GB in FPS, but you should get better and smother frame times, lower loading times and more things could be loaded at once (rendering distance and things like that).

I had bad times with XMP profiles mixing 2 different sets of memories, you could do a manual overclocking but i would prefer to run those on stock settings and then upgrading those OLOy to the same Vengeances.

Now the GPU is a delicate question, do a fresh install of both Geforce program and drivers, uninstall everything first, even the driver on control panel. I do like to test my GPUs on Userbenchmark cause they have a good database and compare your GPU with every other benchmark from the same chip, so if your card is performing as expected you don't need to worry.
You didn't see any difference in FPS or GPU usage? Didn't your games raised it's graphics settings to match the card capacity? If your card is performing as expected you should get higher FPS, lower frame times, higher graphics or lower resources usage, if didn't had ANY difference maybe it's time to reinstall your whole Windows.

If that put you back to a single stick, perhaps, otherwise I don't think it should have affected much.

I accidentally marked yours as a solution, I’m on mobile currently, I will eventually buy another set of Corsair ram, and will test in User bench but I noticed also in Fortnite I’m getting 160fps on low and gpu usage is 30-40% while cpu is 50%
