After installing a faster CPU, frame rate drops.
After installing a faster CPU, frame rate drops.
I recently switched from a Ryzen 7 5800x to a Ryzen 9 5900x and observed a drop in FPS. I have an ASUS TUF X570 PLUS WIFI motherboard with BIOS 4204, 3080 Founders Edition Ryzen 9 5900x, 32GB RAM, 2TB NVMe SSD and HDD, 850W Corsair Gold power supply. In Valorant, I used to see 350-500 FPS, now it's 180-350. My CPU temps reach 60-70°C during gameplay, while my GPU stays around 60°C. I’m not sure if the temperatures are normal. Could anyone help?
The 5800X runs games better due to its single chiplet design compared to the 5900X’s dual chiplets, though some crosstalk between them might create a minor slowdown. Still, the performance gap shouldn’t be huge—expect similar results. After resetting CMOS, try turning on XMP again.
