Lower Fps than expected

[DonDroid]

Hello i would like to get your opinion and maybe help.

Hardware is as follows:

Ryzen 7 2700 running at 4.1 Ghz Aio Cooled

RTX3090

Crosshair Hero VI

16Gb XPG Ram at 3000MHz

 

Now i do not know if I am missing something very obvious but if I play graphic intensive games like Cyberpunk, MSFS2020, or Ghostwire Tokyo, I am barely able to keep steady framerates arround 40.

GPU is most of the times sitting arround 30 40 percent, CPU in the same ballpark sometimes even lower. I know the Cpu is not powerfull enough to get the 3090 running on a hundred (was designed with a 20 Series in mind).

Overall i think i should be getting more FPS. Also GTA V barely runs at 60 FPS

What settings Are you running, and is ray tracing on?

what monitor do you have?

What PSU do you have?

[DonDroid]

That depends on the game, usally I aim for the highest but i also tried it at low settings or in between with or without raytracing and lower or higher resolutions.

Resolution does not have a very notable influence, and even on minimum settings its just not what i think the system should be able to do.

Also i tried the recommended settings from geforce experience.

PSU is a bequiet straight power 11 1200W

Monitor is a Samsung LC24RG54

I'd say run a gpu benchmark like timespy and see if you get a graphics score similar to other 3090s. If you do, then I'd assume the issue is just your cpu bottleneck.

I did those Bench runs GPU is performing as expected CPU is performing well better then expected, but it feels like its not running as expected in games at all.

Alrighty 

 

Although i got better performance after a few driver updates (not that there were massively outdated but anyways...) I ended up replacing the CPU. and now everything is running comfortably and with ease in a GPU Limit.
