Could be bottleneck? What is wrong?

[leank1]

Hi everyone!

 

Im getting mad with my new build! I don't know what is wrong with it.

 

I play Warzone (yes, i know is a thrash optimized lol) but i think im getting some bottleneck and i don't know where is the problem.

 

My build is:

 

CPU: i7 13700k - Stock settings - PL1: 125w / PL2: 220w

GPU: MSI GAMING X TRIO RTX 3080 TI - undervolt: 0.900mv - 1950mhz

RAM: 32GB DDR5 (2x16GB) 6200 Mhz

Monitor: SAMSUNG ODYSSEY 1080P @ 240HZ.

 

 

I play Warzone with competitive settings, so i don't want the best quality, only the just balance between performance and quality (maximizing fps to stay close at monitor refresh resolution)

 

In game im only getting between 95-110 frames, but i think i should getting more frames.

 

When im playing, gpu stay at 55-65% of usage, and cpu at 35-45% of usage.

 

There is where i think the bottleneck is coming, but i don't know how to solve it.

 

 

Any help or tip will be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Have you enabled XMP profile for your ram?

Check the CPU useage per core. It is likely that you will see one (or a couple) maxed out.

Yeaah, XMP is enabled

That combo should be capable of more like 160-190fps based on some videos I looked at on YouTube.

 

Do you have the game installed on an SSD or a HDD? A hard drive could be tanking your performance when assets are loading in.

 

What motherboard do you have? If the VRMs can't handle the 13700K, they could be thermal throttling and limiting the power to the CPU.

SSD for OS and HDD for games!  I didn't think about it 

 

The motherboard is an MSI Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI.

That motherboard is plenty good. You could unlock the power limits to see if that helps, assuming you have the cooling to handle an unleashed 13700K.

 

If you have enough space on your SSD, you could try moving the game over there and see if that improves things. It shouldn't matter if you're seeing that FPS number when staying in one place - after the data loads off the HDD into RAM, the HDD won't be slowing things down anymore - but if your FPS dips when traveling across the map, the HDD could be a factor in that.

I should give it a try.

 

I really don't know what to do to improve performance

My bets are the HDD physically cannot deliver enough data for your cpu and gpu to crunch, so you wont be utilising them to their fullest.

 

Youll need an SSD and with that board and black friday you could easily get a quite cheap Gen4 NVMe M.2 thats in the guts of 7x your ssd speed at minimum (assuming thats not already an NVMe) or 35x your hdd speed at a minimum. so for games your looking at your bottle neck becoming an entire non-issue for the next few years by switching

[TatamiMatt]

@leank1 Where are you based? i can give you a few recommendations of good priced NVMes if youd like

 

Though id see if its the issue first by putting a game on the SSD and seeing if theres an improvement, no point splashing cash if it wont fix the problem

Thanks mate!

 

First im going to try switching the game to the SSD.

 

I was looking for an NVMe, and found this options:

 

*Western Digital Green Sn350 M.2

*Kingston NV2 M.2

 

Here in Argentina, hardware is too expensive and this options are the more suitable for price/size/speed

 

what do you think?

Both those are relatively similar performance, id personally favour the WD over the kingston even with the slightly lower performance but i know people who would argue the other way, but its mainly the price that matters, if one is significantly cheaper, then id go for that one, theres not much between them
