My 2600X holding my system back?

[Zeebedy]

Hey guys,

yesterday I setup my new Ryzen system.

Ryzen 2600x - GTX 1660ti - 16gb G Skill Ram)

I have just been in CS today to see how everything stacks up.. and upon my exitl, afterburner was telling me this :

GPU averge temp : 50c
GPU usage average : 45
GPU power avegare : 25-30

CPU average temp : 50c
CPU average usage : 60-100 (high fluxuation)

I care more for performance than FPS (believe it or not ) and that was low detail, 1080p..

Am I right in saying that my CPU is holding the GPU back? I was only getting around 150-270 FPS


Cheers guys!

Is that 16GB of RAM one or two sticks? Play the game and use HWINFO64 to monitor how the cpu is behaving - i mean if the cpu is boosting properly.

This vid is with same gpu but a 2600 and using Ultra settings getting same fps as you.

This is with 2x8 gb sticks.

According to Afterburner my boost has been peaking at 4250mhz which I assume is correct??

How about the gpu? Clocks should be straight line while the gpu usage may fluctuate. On that video. looks like both cpu and gpu were underutilize but still getting a good amount of fps. With HWINFO, you would also see other temps and voltages that may give a better clue of what's going on. Close afterburner, though. Just use one app at a time.

thanks, will try that out later.

Did you put your RAM in the correct slots, making sure dual channel is enabled?

yes, slots 2 and 4, but how do i go about enabling dual channel? bios? perhaps also the RAM is not running at full clock speed as i have not done any bios work yet!

 

[Zeebedy]

Sounds right if you have one in channel A2 and one in channel B2, if you've not set the DOCP/XMP up in the BIOS then the RAM is most certainly running below the specified speed. What RAM do you have?

Its the G SKILL Trident RGB 3200mhz kit.

also, on this motherboard :

opened up the BIOS for the first time..greeted with a message saying BIOS reset or somthing or other? Im guessing as it was a first boot..anyway..

went to memory and was default at 2333mhz so i changed the XMP profile to Profile 1, and changed to 3200mhz so i saved and rebooted..and seems ok, no crashes so far!

well i just loaded up what i thought would be a better representation of power usage, therefore... Battlefield 5, conquest, 64 man server was in order..and the ram changes seemed stable in a demanding game of it..
