Posted March 13, 2023 Hello, so i've wondered for a while now. For example in wow, the gpu downclocks to like 2354 and then goes to like 2216 and then like 2069 and back up to 2199. It happens in less intensive areas like indoor and stuff. I'm wondering if it's because these are cpu intensive games. Also it feels like it's downclocking when i get much fps basically.

Posted March 13, 2023 AMD GPUs tend to downclock when their utilization gets low to save on power. You could try raising the graphics settings to see if you can keep the GPU under a higher load - that could improve your FPS consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 13, 2023 Author Hello! I'm running wow at 4k ultra settings with 4x msaa. The clock is normal in the demanding areas but downclocks indoors and some places outdoors where i get more fps. The fps is still really good however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 13, 2023 Author Forgot to mention, i've undervolted aswell, standard voltage is 1150, currently using 1020. So idk if that could be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 13, 2023 Author Hello, should have thought about this before, but this behavior seems normal so excuse me. I checked a wow video, with rx 6800xt and his fluctuate aswell. So might just be the game behaviors overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well be an issue with the WoW engine on newer hardware - the game is about to turn 20 years old next year, so I can only imagine the sorts of legacy code snippets that might cause odd interactions with GPUs released 15+ years after the game was.

Posted March 13, 2023 Comes down to this: CPU builds a bag, that holds FPS The GPU has 1 second to fill that bag with FPS It fills it with what it can in that second If its not being utilized it doesnt have a big enough bag to created for it by the CPU (or network information, etc its more than just this) to need to be at full throttle to perform in that 1 second Workstation Laptop: Dell Precision 7540, Xeon E-2276M, 32gb DDR4, Quadro T2000 GPU, 4k display Wifes Rig: ASRock B550m Riptide, Ryzen 5 5600X, Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6700 XT, 16gb (2x8) 3600mhz V-Color Skywalker RAM, ARESGAME AGS 850w PSU, 1tb WD Black SN750, 500gb Crucial m.2, DIYPC MA01-G case My Rig: ASRock B450m Pro4, Ryzen 5 3600, ARESGAME River 5 CPU cooler, EVGA RTX 2060 KO, 16gb (2x8) 3600mhz TeamGroup T-Force RAM, ARESGAME AGV750w PSU, 1tb WD Black SN750 NVMe Win 10 boot drive, 3tb Hitachi 7200 RPM HDD, Fractal Design Focus G Mini custom painted.

Posted March 13, 2023 Author That makes sense, disabled raytracing and got 1100+ mhz + like 60-70 = more fps. So sounds like a wow issue indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 13, 2023 Author Also my cpu isn't quite that powerfull, i5 9600k. Will upgrade in like 5 months. either 5800x3d or i7 13900k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will upgrade in like 5 months. either 5800x3d or i7 13900k With online games (I play WoW to) there is a ton of other stuff going on, and a CPU upgrade wont necessarily fix that. I wouldnt upgrade that CPU to play WoW. Wife plays on a 6700XT and 5600X and any frame issues typically is network related. There is included delay in the network telling you, in that 1 second, what to put on your screen so your CPU builds that bag, GPU can fill it.

Posted March 13, 2023 Author Makes sense, but it's good knowing that it seems to be a normal issue, my memory clock is fluctuating as little as 1988 to 1984 sometimes 1990 which seems normal to me, eitherway no performance loss x). But thank you both for the response...etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 13, 2023 Author Yeah, that definitely makes sense. Sometimes i wonder, why it's worth upgrading after every release I wouldn't want to look at my bank account after that atall. Especially not the previous history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
