Hey All,

Last year I was lucky enough to get my hands on an RTX 3090. I play a fair amount of Warzone and I posted some threads about my FPS sucking, which has not improved.

I have uninstalled everything, checked drivers etc and I'm still only getting 110-120 FPS and very unstable. I know the game is rubbish but clearly something is bottle necking me.

My spec is:

AMD R7 3700X
Giga APRUS P750 Plus Gold 750W
Giga X570 GAMING X mobo
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4
Alpenfohn Brocken ECO Advanced CPU Cooler
ASUS PCE-AC56 AC1300 PCI-E adapter
Everything at stock

I'm thinking I would like to upgrade the CPU and RAM. I'm unsure whether a mobo upgrade would be worthwhile, and also whether my network card could use an upgrade (I get weird lags in game, but not sure if this is the connection or my CPU - latency is generally around 30 and I am plugged into network adapters).

My temps are around 70-73 when playing games, so possibly cooling needs looking at too?

Any advice would be gratefully received on what to upgrade.
 
I don’t know that PSU but I’d have gone with a 1000 watt unit to be safe.

Edit: seems like 750watts would be enough but I know that the RTX cards can spike in power draw so just take note of how much strain your putting on that PSU.

I’d also upgrade the CPU - definitely your bottleneck in the system.

install a 5800X or 5900X to really make use of that lovely GPU.
 
Thanks @JollyJamma

The rest of the build was purchased in 2019, upgraded an RTX SUPER 2070 to the 3090 last year. The 750 seems to be enough, but I have been keeping an eye on it. Might be worth doing anyway if I'm going to upgrade a few other components.

Agreed on the new CPU. I'll be honest, I didn't realise warzone was more CPU dependent than GPU when I purchased the 3090. Not that it won't come in useful for other games and the future.

Try this fix, set it to 8 since your CPU has 8 cores.

I just tried that and some how the frames are worse?

You would still benefit from a 5800X/5900X in warzone as it is quite CPU demanding but the 3700X should be performing better than it is.

I just tried switching back to my 1080p monitor and frames were less than 100...

No idea what is wrong but something is clearly messed up with my system. Every time I ADS in the game the latency spikes and my game lags out.
 
Have you tried monitoring stuff like core usage, RAM,VRAM, dusk usage etc?

Ether log to a file, or since you have a second monitor set the monitoring software you display to that. Although observing can make a difference as logging isn't totally CPU free and driving a second monitor well put more stress on the GPU (although I suspect either your CPU is your bottleneck or you have CPU hogging background task.
 
have you tried turning off reflex in the Nvidia control panel and setting the game to full screen rather than borderless window?

I did try it just after getting the 3090 and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, in terms of the RAM and disk usage. I will try again tomorrow though and see if it picks anything up.

I always run full screen but will try the Nvidia changes. I did try endless Nvidia and other tweaks prior with little to no effect. My issue is I just don't know enough about PCs. I know enough to know it's wrong, but not enough to know how to fix it :confused:
 
CPU-Z says 1796.4 MHz but it's dual channel so 3600 essentially which looks right.

Not sure about the D.O.C.P. Last time I checked the bios it was standard?
 
Sorry for the double post.

I have found a company that offer remote PC optimisation. At this stage I think I need someone who knows their stuff to look at it.

I'm thinking I am probably better off upgrading first, then getting them to look at it?

That being the case, if I upgrade my CPU, RAM and PSU, is my current mobo, cooler and network card sufficient to keep up with a 58/900x and rtx 3090?

Try monitoring DPC latency of drivers during gameplay:

At least that could give hints to what cause might be.


Really lots of plain scamming in that area with likely very hard to find companies with genuinely knowledgeable workers...

Thank you @EsaT Will try that next time I am on.

Yes, that is my concern. Unfortunately the only IT people I know are more tech, rather than gaming. There is a PC repair place with decent reviews in town, but I need someone to look at my setup, rather than lugging everything down there.
 
So I spent yesterday afternoon playing around with the following:
  • RAM speeds
  • Nvidia control panel settings
  • In game settings
  • Windows game mode
  • Monitor profiles
And probably a few other things I can't think of. End result...no improvement, if anything I was actually getting <100 FPS at the start of games.

At this point I have no idea what else to try, other than upgrading a few components and then paying for someone to look at it remotely (and keeping my fingers crossed they are legit).

In terms of upgrades, if I were to go with a 5900X, should I:
Appreciate your help.
