AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1800X Problem

shaun2007182 · 25 Jul 2017 at 09:30

Hello,

I hope someone can help this very frustrated man.

I use to have a 2500k, 16gb ram, 1080 GPU and it ran very very well. Now after several years of thinking I should up grade I got myself:

1800x
16gb ram
Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming K3 AMD X370

All put together fine but its SLOWER than my old rig. One game I played on old rig ran at 50/60fps on this rig its 15fps. Another game that ran over 100fps is now running at 40fps. the system seems to a bit slower at booting.

The bios is up to date. Ram running at 2900 gpu driver up to date.

I just don't know what is going on. Anyone got same set up that had these problems and fixed? to be honest any help would be welcome.

Yeah something wrong there, should at least be comparable. What speed is the 1800x running at?

Did you reinstall windows ?

shaun2007182 · 25 Jul 2017 at 10:23

I installed new windows. Not sure what speed the cpu is running at. I will check when I get home. What speed should it be running at?

What's the rest of your spec, m.2 drive or ssds?

shaun2007182 · 25 Jul 2017 at 10:35

yes got a Samsung m2 and 2 x Samsung ssd's

You put the graphics card in the top red slot right? the lower one on that board is just a PCI-E 2.0 4x one for sound cards and stuff.

shaun2007182 · 25 Jul 2017 at 10:50

Yes its in the top slot. I have build several Intel systems before. I am at the point where I might try and send back the MB CPU and get 6700k instead

To add, which game - not all are optimised for it and some perform better with SMT off. Worth check all the GPU power connectors are fitted securely also.

What does windows pick up your system as? Hopefully you didn't get it from Amazon

Install and post CPUz and HWMonitor to show frequency volts etc.

shaun2007182 · 25 Jul 2017 at 11:10

Ok will do that tonight

shaun2007182 · 25 Jul 2017 at 11:42

SMT whats that and how do I turn it off? Windows 10 professional. Its not just games programes are slow at loading as well

Check windows power profile, you want max performance not economy / power saving.

Make sure all drivers up to date.

What gpu do you have ?

shaun2007182 · 25 Jul 2017 at 13:09

evga gtx 1080 sc

In BIOS, this all sounds like something is wrong so would advice you check the BIOS for your settings and then check in Windows environment what it is running at. SMT is generally a good thing though, simultaneous multi threading.

Check Nvidia control panel for the GPU settings. Check GPUz and CPUz for clocks on all.

If you just installed things I would wipe it all clean and test one program at a time in case something went wrong. Download the latest AM4 drivers direct from AMD and don't install the board software until you know it's all ok. Maybe just clean install and then test Cinebench score to see how the CPU performance looks.

hmm I will try this tonight thanks

As part of trying HWMonitor and CPU-Z, check if it's running at clock speeds you'd expect. Also use GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner to check GPU usage in-game.

shaun2007182 · 25 Jul 2017 at 14:15

I am going to wipe and start again but only installing bios update and amd cpu update. Then test it

One game I played on old rig ran at 50/60fps on this rig its 15fps. Another game that ran over 100fps is now running at 40fps

That sounds like something is wrong, what games are they?

shaun2007182 · 25 Jul 2017 at 17:00

Empyrion which is not optimized but still with this set up should be quicker that 8 year old 2500k cpu The other game I tried was shellshock which I always got very high fps. The fact that these games are slow to load as well has got me confused.
