Slow frames at 1080p 240hz with 2080ti

[Willis]

This is driving me mad now and tried so many things.

My system is 3900x with 64GB 3000mnz Ram and a EVGA RTX 2080Ti FTW3 ULTRA (see image of system under full load running Warzone).

When running COD warzone on low/mid setting I'm getting around 120FPS on a 1080p 240hz monitor, was getting similar speeds from my 1080ti?

Tried lots of setting in Nvidia Control Panel, just thought I would be hitting higher FPS

this is a easy one,

your CPU/RAM is limiting your 2080Ti,

Put your settings to 1080P high, which can help the CPU a little. or tune your ram higher Going from 3000MHZ ram to 4000MHZ can gain anywhere between 80-100FPS (yes its crazy) not suggesting you buy faster ram but just to help you find the causes.

You could also use DSR to change to 1440p & i bet your FPS would be higher on 1440p over 1080p.

Personally i would test
1080p medium
1080P High

i would suspect that these will actually give you better FPS or better quality with the same FPS
but RAM speed/timings could see you get big gains.

seen framechasers test 3000mhz vs 4000mhz (same timings) at 1080p and gain like i said 80-100fps on both intel & ryzen

i know going above 3000mhz on ryzen can be tough.. (i have a 2950x) and always have errors

I was thinking it could be a RAM issue, going to order some 3600mhz and see if that makes a difference but will also give some of your other things you mentioned ago.

While AMD's 3000 series is really good, It needs fast memory due to the way AMD's Infinity Fabric works, 3600MHz is the sweet spot for Ryzen 3000, Just make sure you get a kit labelled "Ryzen Tuned" of which there are plenty.

Rather than throwing money at hardware guessing...

Install MSI afterburner.
Set it up to display usage per core and gpu usage.

Watch how 1-4 cores get pegged to 100% and how the GPU usage is around 70 (at most).

1080p is insanely easy for 2080ti. It's a 1440p with everything or 4K card. There's no way the CPU is keeping up, hence you're frame limited. It simply can't make enough directx/vulkan/whatever draw calls.

Use the super sampling option in nvidia control panel (I forget where) and turn it up a notch or 2 on res. You won't be able to see it but I'd almost guarantee your frame rate remains next to untouched until you go up quite a bit.
