1950X bottlenecking my 1080 Ti?

asim1999

Hey all, 

I think my 1950X at 4Ghz is bottlenecking my 1080 Ti. 

At 1080p I regularly dip into the high 40) and 50s on GTA V and only get around 100-120FPS in DOOM

For the record, I am not just a gamer, and will be using the systen for rendering and video editing too and the 1950X was a steal for £500

Could the fact I am only running dual channel RAM and a old HDD that runs at 130MBs as my game drive contribute to the bottleneck?

There's definitely something wrong if a 1950x + 1080ti is getting 50FPS in GTA V at 1080p.

 

Check in Nvidia Control Panel if you have DSR enabled with the resolution set to a higher resolution than native (1080p).

 

Run MSI afterburner with its on screen display enabled to show CPU & GPU usage and temperatures, as well as RAM usage.

Set the GTA V graphical settings to Very High preset at 1920x1080. Run GTA Vs in game benchmark and report the results of the benchmark (benchmark log stores in My Documents > Rockstar Games > GTA V > Benchmarks) as well was the readings from MSI Afterburners on screen display (screenshot while benchmarking would be helpful).

Do you have GTAV completely maxed out including things like grass and other advanced settings?

What happens when you run the games at the lowest settings?

 

a hard drive won't affect fps unless it's basically broken.

dual channel wouldn't affect fps

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Yeah, in 1080p the 1950x will for sure bottleneck a 1080 ti. GTA V is one of those games that doesn't really like Ryzen that much. From what I can gather, it looks like it will run the same on a Ryzen 5 1400 as it would on your TR chip. Sorry about that. Also, 99.9% of the time a slow drive only affects loading times, not fps or anything once the game is loaded.

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

thats not a gaming cpu. gta 5 was tested on a high end quad core intel chip with HT. anything over that and the cores go idle or are barely used.
