4060 upgrade

[L_U_C_K_Y]

Hey guys, so I recently upgraded to a 4060, and I am getting low fps here is my setup: my motherboard is gigabyte A520M K V2 i play Valorant in every benchmark i saw it showed 250-300fps on high but i get at max 150[more like 100] not even stable on low setting, i got 120 fps mid detail on old gpu [rx5500 xt] i tought it could be the psu but i want to know any tips or tricks before i buy new one i also did fresh re-install of windows and would like to know if it could be anything else than psu

do you have vsync on

we can read normal sized font just fine , and did you ddu the old drivers.

Also your cpu is 8 years old and isn't going to yield the kind of results a better cpu will.

Also i know it's old but i saw few benchmarks with that exact cpu and gpu the guy had 200-300 fps on high

are you planing on also upgrading the 8 year old entry level cpu

I think when you tuned it to 4060 the game automatically adapted a better setting, and it overloaded the CPU whild dealing with textures?

450w that's why I am asking if i should buy a new one and if there are any things i could try before getting one

yes but not rn

Do you have 2133mhz RAM? Older Ryzen was really sensitive to that, you're likely losing a lot of performance there.

yeah that's not a powerful enough Psu the recommended is 550watts to with your cpu and other stuff I would go with a 700-750watt

yes today i did a bios update forgot to turn on xmp but the issue is lasting longer than that

[emosun]

have you done any form of benchmark on the components other than valorant

Can we? Double it and give it to the next reply

 

OP check windows power settings to make sure you're not on laptop mode. Gen 3 PCIE on that old board and 4060 is very sensitive to a cut in data rate. But I don't think Valorant is intensive enough for that, I know Last of Us was bad loss in FPS from 4.0 to 3.0.

he is using a 450watt power supply, I think that's his main problem

thats pretty good considering the old cpu and underpowered powersupply

[L_U_C_K_Y]

Should i just get a new psu ? or could it be anything else [except cpu]

psu first then start saving for a cpu, motherboard, and ram.

I don't think that matters. The card doesn't even draw half that.
