Are my Xeon's too slow?
Are my Xeon's too slow?
Hey everyone, I recently purchased a new CPU and GPU combo on eBay for $600. It was a solid deal at the time. However, my system is experiencing significant lag when running games like Fallout 4, Crysis 2, and Payday 2. The performance drops noticeably, causing stuttering and frame drops. I used to have an i5 setup that handled these titles smoothly at 60 FPS, especially with ultra settings enabled. Although my current build isn’t built for gaming, it seems the hardware isn’t optimized for it. Additionally, I run Premiere Pro for video editing and need sufficient power, but I’d still like to play games if possible. My system specs include an Intel Xeon E5-2670 at 2.6GHz, 64GB ECC RAM, an EVGA SR-X motherboard, a 1000W PSU, and a Gigabyte RX480 with 8GB RAM. The Seagate 2TB HDD is connected via a 480GB SSD. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is installed. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I believe it's the Intel Xeon processor causing issues, possibly limiting performance of the RX480 graphics card
This won't help. Without a boost clock for the Xeon, it wouldn't make any difference.
I overlooked that certain CPU pins are bent on pin 1 even though I turned off CPU1, and the issues continue.
The Xeon processors are fast enough. When we look at laptops running at 2.30GHz, they handle gaming well. (It's not identical, but it works) You might want to check Task Manager and restrict games to using just four cores. As you mentioned, some titles slow down when the system has too many cores.
