Ryzen 3 1200 bottlenecking my gtx 1060 6gb

[Hi im Aurora]

Hi everyone. 

So recently i bought a Ryzen 3 1200 cpu(Not overclocked), MSI pc mate b350 mobo,2x4gig hyper x fury ram 2400mhz(not overclocked),Super flower leader silver 650w psu and a gtx 1060 6gb GPU

im running windows 10.

 

I run msi afterburner to see my usages in games,i've tested the follwing two games League Of Legends and Player Unknown Battlegrounds.

 

Weird results.making me wonder i have CPU bottlenecking.

PUBG=my cpu runs at 100% usage and gpu usage 45%. (everything on High ,vsync off) getting 65-75 FPS

LOL=Cpu at 60% usage and GPU on 70% (everything on best settings Vsync off) getting around 90-140FPS

I had the ryzen 3 1200 installed with a gtx 750ti and my GPU usage was 100% and cpu like 40% usage . i got 150-180 FPS seems the gpu and cpu was a perfect match for eachother. but not with the 1060 6 gb

 

I watched the video of BITWIT ,see here below and the results shows different. and shows that is a good pair,but i'm confident im getting bottlenecking. 

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

That’s just PUBG being upotomised. Also the 750Ti is weak, so it starts bottlenecking things easily.

You gave two results - one of an unoptimised game another of a cpu bound game - that is not helpful...

[Hi im Aurora]

What should i do or test to oversee my thoughts of bottlenecking?

[TheGamingLanceYT]

it shows from your results that you are cpu bound maybe look into overclocking your cpu!

To be honest with you Coollance2015, i have never tried overlocking and im scared to bust my things..ive read many reviews on how to overlock but im still scared.

i want to push my cpu to 3.6ghz with stock cooler but i am scared about the voltage setting.

yer i know the feeling

i do understand pubg isnt optimized, i mean i played pubg with the 750 all low settings getting around 60 fps ,and there my gpu usage was 100% and my cpu usage was around 60-70% .

Which drivers are installed on your PC? You'd get weird results of your trying to run a 1060 with 750 drivers. Make sure you uninstall your driver's and reinstall the drivers for the 1060.

The latest 1060 6gb drivers from nvidia.

but i never uninstalled any drivers before installing the new 1060 6gb  drivers from nvidia.

Simply because i heared you can just install new drivers over the other old drivers.

[TheGamingLanceYT]

use this to unistall the driver and install the latest drivers nvidia drivers also i have a gtx 1060 6gb

 

 

unistall gpu drivers:

just download latest drivers from nvidia site

No, that's generally not a good idea. You need to uninstall the older drivers in order to maintain stability and prevent conflicts. The new driver doesn't get installed over the old one, doesn't really work like that.

Do this, then reinstall the 1060 drivers.

Not to be rude or anything,but i saw some people complaining about that application,after use it makes your system unstable. So yes i am also scared now. guess i'll have to try it then

just press do a clean install!!!!!!! Please when you install new driver

[Hi im Aurora]

I'll keep everyone updated after i use DDU if my performance is better and so on.

 

Anyone keen to help me with voltage settings on a 3.5ghz overclock? or is that something ill have to figure out myself? i know Ryzen safe voltage is under 1.400

[TheGamingLanceYT]

use this video i used it to overclock my friends ryzen 1200 to 3.5ghz on stock cooler

 

Note not my video but i used this  video

 

 

Also whats ur motherboard

MSI B350 PC MATE, Bios is updated.

The r3 1200 without any over clocking is not exactly powerful, It wouldn't surprise me if it did limit your GPU on poorly optimized CPU intensive games

[TheGamingLanceYT]

This video should help you out abit

[TheGamingLanceYT]

or you cant limit the fps and put vsync on games to lower the cpu demand

[Hi im Aurora]

firstly.l will use DDU to uninstall my drivers,because i still have the 750ti drivers on here,and reinstall the 1060 6gb drivers/

Secondly im going to try and overlock my cpu a little bit,and i will get back to everyone . Thanks for the advice.

[TheGamingLanceYT]

I hope you like the gtx 1060 6gb like me

Would you suggest a slight overlock to 3.5 or 3.6?

Personally speaking I do not like your motherboard, MSi low end boards are probably the worse for Ryzen, it will limit what you can do overclocking wise... though any bit will help for sure, also try overclocking your memory to run at least 2666mhz... ryzen infinity fabric limitations are only overcome when you reach 2933mhz frequency if you're running it at 2133mhz that also is limiting your performance greatly.

 

Try to squeeze as much as you can on overclocks, don't fear about stuff dying nowadays all is pretty safe it'll just fail and reset if you pushed too far...

 

Another valid point as already addressed is DDU in safe mode and install the drivers fresh new to ensure the GPU is fully functioning.

Thank you for your word Princess. I understand what you say.

I have checked in the bios and the ram is running at 2400mhz. i will definitly crock up my cpu to around 3.6 ghz. and try to overclock the ram to 2666mhz.

as to drivers,i will defenitly use DDU to install the latest drivers.

Really appreciate your opinion.
