Rtx 3090 underperforming

[ksmith2001]

Hello, I just upgraded to an rtx 3090 and it is severely underperforming in warzone. I average around 110 fps at 1440p, but it sometimes dips into the 90s. The build has a r5 3600, rtx 3090, 16gb 3200 ram, b450 tomahawk max. Yes I know there is a bottleneck with the cpu but it should not be this severe. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We need a way to see how the system is performing while in game over time. Can you provide graphs of CPU/GPU temp, usage and clockspeed while in game? 

 

Something like this:

What's the best program to use for that?

I use HWInfo but MSI Afterburner also works.

Looks like cpu is maxed out and gpu is almost there. It should definitely be getting more than 110 fps.

Yeah, classic CPU bottleneck. Btw, you can select which graphs AB shows in the settings. That was very helpful btw, we can sit and guess all day but seeing actual metrics makes it super clear. That high of CPU usage is a clear indicator of the GPU being held back.

Figured, would you say a 5600x is enough or should I get a 5800/5900

They're all equal for gaming purposes. No appreciable difference. If you need more cores for non-gaming tasks, that's when you'd want to look at something over the 5600x.

I'd definitely recommend getting an R7 5XXX as a minimum, given the power and value of the lovely GPU you got.

 

You'll almost certainly need to perform a BIOS update to make it work - do read into how this is done and what you need.

I get the idea you're going for but numbers wise, it would make no difference which is proven for the past year in benchmarks.

Ended up getting a 5800x, microcenter had a good price on it. Bios is already updated and the cpu will get installed soon, will update on the fps numbers!
