R5 2400g underperforms

[Minorika]

I built a pc for my mother to play fallout 4 on.

But in my testing i dont get the performance i expected from the APU in 1080p as seen in this video. (skip to 7:10 for 1080p)

I have the same settings as shown in the description.

 

My mother´s system only has one 8gb ram stick at 3000mhz but in my testing it wasnt used fully with about 800mb remaining.

What can i do to get the full performance of the APU?

 

Thanks in advance.

cpu is underclocking itself, set windows power options to prefer maximum performance, set minimum cpu  clock to 100% and maximum aswell

The APU benefits heavily from dual channel RAM. 2x4 gb  get you better results than 1x8gb

Hm i did try cinebench and it wnt over 3.7ghz.

but the cpu is clearly underclocking while playing, its a powersaving feature u should disable that if u want performance , its actually as simple as just editing the power options

I set the power options for max performance now but there is no change.

did u set minimum clock rate to 100% and maximum clock rate 100% aswell in the scheme ( advanced options )

Does the ASUS bios have an option like that?

That sounds a bit off to me.  You should have more remaining than that.  Is all that RAM usage coming from Fallout?

I'd also try different RAM speeds to see if it's the stability of the OC.  If a synthetic benchmark is letting your CPU max out I would think your issue is RAM related.

i dont know of any amd board that doesnt have the ability to disable quiet n cool

It´s not just fallout 4 using all the ram.

The system uses about 3gb of ram at idle.

that u can reduce to about 1.2gb of ram at idle by tweaking windows

I just looked and there is no such thing as quiet n cool.

can also be shortcut for qnc

How?

by turning off windows services that u dont use and rebooting  , saves alot of ram  , plenty of guides online for that

Again i looked and there is no such thing.

 

Ok ill take a look at Windows services later.

check through ai tweaker / advanced cpu settings

I just did and there is nothing.

 

I think i´ll follow @TVwazhere advize and get another stick of ram for dual channel.

AMD CBS > Global C-States Control is AMD Cool'n'Quiet.   ( they just changed the name on ryzen apperantly )

 

._. the underclock issue will remain with cnq enabled, even fi u get more ram

thats the case with all cpus, 1stick of ram will kill ur minfps in singlethread heavy parts 2x4 can be stutter where 4x4 wouldnt
