Will the 5950X be more suitable for me?

[Zeebedy]

Hey guys,

I built my PC the other day, im happy with it all round, stability and performance etc..but I fired up PUBG last night to play with a few mates, and was getting micro stutters, I changed a few settings and helped out a lot..

I have a 5700X3d and according to MSI AB my usage was pegging my CPU and my 3090 was running at probably around 60-70% usage..

would a 5950X make more of a difference to the 1%'s etc..apart from that, the system is solid. Also running 32gb RAM.

i might be wrong but does pubg really use a 3090 fully ?

i would have thought the 5700x3d would easily have handled it without bottlenecking, have you considered debloating windows ? last resort is a 5950x but then you leave some performance on the floor for games which arent multi threaded

Not sure about PUBG specifically, but the 5950X would generally generate less frames and less framerate consistency than the 5700X3D. I think your problem may be elsewhere.

no

tweaking ram might
some PBO and curve optimizer might

did you look into background processes perhaps hitting CPU?

the pc was built several days ago, fresh install of W11. so nothing I dont want on the PC is there.

i mean its fine in CS2 without micro stutters etc...mabye i should look closer at settings? im running at medium detail, might go custom and seee what I can dig out of it.

thanks, i have not thought about the RAM overclocking..or looked into background tasks...need to get that done i think also..

99 times out of 100 the 5950x will be a little worse in games. A lot of open world games tend to stutter the first time they load new textures. I've not heard of pubg doing it specifically, but have experienced both fortnite and apex legends running like poo the first game or two, but will even out after that and the stuttering goes away

 

[Zeebedy]

now i think of it..i haven't changed any setting for "performance" or that in W11..can someone recommend me a few settings that might help out?

I assume you have your RAM running at the rated speed via XMP/DOCP?

Yeah, it could be, or just early teething issues. I've certainly never heard of anyone with a 5700X3D/5800X3D complaining about CPU utilisation and saying they saw better FPS from a 5950X. A 5700X3D should be more than sufficient for decent gameplay with a 3090.

yeah mate, its only at 3200MHz but is enabled.

yeah, it seems to get better in game, is that mabye textures loading in etc??

and yeah, otherwise in game im seeing great FPS and performance, even though CS2 can run on a potato!

Have you checked BIOS updates, some earlier versions had micro stutters if fTPM was enabled, I switched to a physical TPM and everything runs smoothly for me.

Yeah, my bios was from 2022!

So I have upgraded to the latest which is I think April this year.

have you tried to ddu the gpu driver and reinstall it again. maybe its a gpu driver issue causing it to act irregular and peg the cpu as a result, long shot but worth a go
