This has been happening to me for awhile now. I would play a game, but the frames would drop or would bounce even though my CPU and GPU have plenty of headroom. Especially after i installed mods to fallout 4. frames would stay at 15-25, but my GPU and CPU are essentially sitting back and sipping lemonade while i sit there in anger and confusion. Why is this happening, and how do i fix it?

CPU AMD

Ryzen 5 1600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor

CPU Cooler

Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

MotherBoard

Gigabyte - GA-AB350-GAMING 3 ATX AM4 Motherboard

RAM

G.Skill - Aegis 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

GPU

MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card

Powersupply

EVGA - SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

@AskTJ is right here. First gen ryzens just feeds on high speed memory like a drug. Your ram is 2133 Mhz (fairly slow, 2400mhz is bare minimum for 1600x) and it is in single channel which makes it even worse. Swap the sticks immediately. Frame issue is probably a bottleneck because of ram as Fallout 4 was a breeze for me with i5 6500 and GTX 970.

Have you tried going into Nvidias control panel and selecting prefer maximum performance in the power category?

Did you install new drivers from Nvidia's site?

 

Horrible RAM choice though. Single channel 2133MHz memory will limit Ryzen's performance noticeably.

The ram was a poor choice. Get 2 8GB sticks at 3000MHz. Ryzen needs fast ram to perform at its peak.

hi.
