techsupport 3070 Bottlenecked.

JasonKTS · December 12, 2022

Hello, I've just watch "Is your gaming rig being bottlenecked" (yes, I am a little bit late I know) after having some performance issues with my RTX3070. Backstory: I've had my gaming rig from AlphaSync for 2years now. It has a AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor, an MSI RTX3070, a single 16gb ram and a simple air cooling system (it's not the idea build - when the 30series got released I needed a pc for my computer science course and I had to go with a pre-build rig for that 30series power.. Its been a wonderful 1.5year of great performance, however, it was a couple weeks ago that I downloaded the new MW2 Warzone2 to check the new call of duty experience (I have been only playing WOW before that, meaning I never really needed to push the RTX to increase my graphics quality - I mean its World Of Warcraft, u dont need that high graphics to enjoy the game experience.. It was then when I noticed my gaming performance decreasing drastically.

For the past month, I've been pushin 50-65FPS (Max spike at 80FPS on best case scenario) on the Ultra Low graphics. I tried deleting old software to easy my pc,tried searching on web and even benchmark my system to check where the lack of performance is happening. I still haven't manage to fix this issue, while my friends are playing on a 1060 or 2060 and have an overall better experience in the game rather than my 3070..

I've been lookin for a good, helpful human being to help me with this issue in forums and even in the NVIDIA discord channel but still no luck.. Any good samaritan to help me out?
[Ill attach my latest benchmark (in 3DMARK) scores and Hardware in case it will help]

get a 2nd stick of RAM, you're heavily CPU limited due to running single channel RAM. While that will improve your performance quite a bit, you will still be CPU limited but you can at least expect much higher and more importantly, more consistent frame rates by just adding a 2nd RAM stick.
