So i have been playing CSGO and Valorant recently a lot. Average fps on CSGO was around 80fps on low res and low graphics (Same goes for valorant), and i thought that my pc was very underperforming  . So i came a cross this video tat tested the cpu and gpu that i have (AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics). In the video it showed that csgo and valorant got a 150+ fps on average on highest resolution and mid graphics. I tried to look what's wrong with my pc but didin't really find anything. Please help 😄

What is your RAM setup? Do you have 2 sticks? Is it running in dual channel?

It says the RAM is running at 1467MHz, which is DDR4-2933. The memory shown in the video is DDR4-3200 (memory clock of 1600MHz). That could account for some of the difference, but it shouldn't account for more than 9% of it.

Peak memory bandwidth shows as 23GB/s, pretty sure that indicates single channel. I think OP needs another dimm

 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Seems you only have one stick of ram. 

 

Using two sticks of ram gives you double the bandwidth, because of dual channel. You would either want another 16GB stick or exchange your current ram for 2x8GB

 

Memory bandwidth is super important for graphics performance, and since the CPU's integrated graphics is using the DDR4 as memory, you'll want the best DDR4 setup you can get. Going from 2933 to 3200MHz would be a small boost, but going from single channel to dual channel would be a big boost.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

See if u turned xmp or not that’s the issue lots of times

You can tell from the screenshots that were provided that the ram is running at the rated speed, so that's not the issue here.

But how much will this method make my pc faster

It makes a very, very large difference 

 

Not only does graphics performance benefit from faster memory, but Ryzen processors use something called Infinity fabric for core-to-core communication, and infinity fabric is very sensitive to memory bandwidth.

 

So basically, you get both a CPU and a GPU performance upgrade by going from single channel to dual channel

so i have single 16gb ram inside pc could i put another 8gb stick or does it have to be another 16gb? and witch one yould i take DDR3 or DDR4?

You should either get another 16GB, or sell your 16GB and get 2x8GB.

 

You can't use DDR3, it won't fit inside your motherboard. And DDR3 is way slower than DDR4 anyway.
