Are you ready to boost your performance?
You recently purchased Star Wars Battlefront 2 and noticed low framerates even at medium settings. Your system includes a Ryzen 5 2600X, a GTX 2070 Super OC, and several high-end components. You're wondering which part—SSD or CPU—would see the biggest improvement with an upgrade.
Are you playing at 1080p? Then yes, the CPU might be limiting performance, though a simple upgrade won’t drastically improve things. For the R5 5600X, upgrading to a 3600 would likely be underwhelming. As resolution increases, the workload shifts more to the GPU during games. Your SSD doesn’t have DRAM, which is the biggest issue, but having a small cache helps. Fast read/write speeds matter less for gaming, but any cache can still help.
Your frame rate is much lower than expected—only 50-60 FPS. This suggests a problem with your setup. With this hardware, you should be seeing 140 FPS or higher at 1080p. There might be something interfering, like gremlins in your system. The Samsung 860 seems overpriced for its performance; it won’t boost gaming speed meaningfully. Investigate the performance issues and don’t discard parts without checking.
It varies with the drive. The system remains functional. The problem isn't the CPU; it seems to be software-related and linked to low performance.
Begin tracking temperatures and conditions. Was the 2070s a better upgrade?
I switched from an RX580 to this RTX 2070S a few months back. Everything looks normal—temperatures are stable, CPU peaks around 55°C, GPU stays between 75-80°C. The SSD and RAM also operate within acceptable ranges.
Have you cleared every driver before adding the new ones for your 2070S? If not, this might lead to problems, a frequent concern. Use DDU to remove all drivers, then reinstall the Nvidia versions for your GPU. Check if it resolves the issue.
