FPS Question

[Darrol]

I recently built a new computer.  Quick specs:

Ryzen 9 7900x3d

Sapphire RX 6800 GPU

32GB Vengence 6000 ram

2TB Evo SSD

MSI Pro B650M-A wifi MB

I'm using  2 of my old LG Flatron E2340T 60 hz monitors.

 

My problem (?) is that I think my framerate should be pinned at 60 FPS all the time. My game of choice is World of Warcraft, which I believe should not be terribly demanding on this system.  My latency, as reported in game, is 49MS both Home and World. But my framerate, as reported in game, fluctuates between 47 and 59 fps, sometimes less. My internet connection is fiber optic up to the house, then hardwired to my computer with cat 6e.  Could I have some settings wrong in Adrenaline or could this be internet problems?  Or both? Or neither?  Or is this "normal"? I'm lost

Rx 6800 should have no issue at all running wow at 60 fps full hd.

 

Did you install latest drivers, and update the motherboard bios to the latest version?

 

Latency looks fine around 50 ms.

 

 

Any programs running in the background?

[Darrol]

Yes, I did all the things...drivers, bios etc.   All the "normal" things running in the background, I suppose, but no other programs that I installed that I'm aware of. I will check again for motherboard bios, but I updated it several weeks ago when I finished the build, so my assumption is that its fine. I probably shouldn't assume that...

Your internet shouldn't have anything to do with the game framerate, and 49ms of network latency is normal. 

Download HWinfo and run it while you are playing games to see if any temperatures are high or if the GPU is looking underutilized, it should have no problem running 60+ FPS at 1080p.

Okay, I don't want to seem patronizing, but is the display cable plugged into the Motherboard or GPU. It's always good to check and make sure. Otherwise, make sure that the game is running off the dedicated GPU and not the integrated one in windows graphics settings. There were also reports of games not handling scheduling between the 2 CCD's on the 7900X3D when it came out. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/bios-tweak-ccd-priority

I have a cpu temp monitor but nothing specific for the GPU that I know of. I will check Adrenaline to see if they have something I can have on my screen to monitor GPU temps.

 

And yes, everything is plugged in properly and the game selects the video card by default, so I know that's working. However, I would like to check into the scheduling of the CCD's.

So I downloaded AMD's Ryzen Master control software and to say I'm in over my head is a MAJOR understatement. I'm scared to touch or change anything in there, but it looks like both CCD's were active while I was playing, but I honestly don't know what that means. Its a lot scarey when you find out how much you don't know about something.
