Consider your needs and upgrade options carefully.
Hey there! I put together my second PC with help from the forum community. I’ve been enjoying many games, but Warzone 2 is giving me some trouble. It runs smoothly at 160-180 ultra, while WZ2 struggles at 90-100 unless settings are adjusted. My build includes a 6900xt Ryzen 7, 850W PSU, B550-A motherboard, a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO SSD, two TB of Berossuda, and 16GB Trident Z RGB 3000MHz RAM. The issue seems to be with the performance, but I’m not sure if it’s the RAM or something else. Could be the RAM is limiting things, or maybe there’s another factor at play? Thanks for your help!
Review the memory consumption and overall system load while playing. If it hits limits, you're likely hitting RAM constraints; otherwise, additional frames from faster RAM are improbable. This might point to another part of your setup. If your GPU is handling it well, upgrading isn't necessary—your current GPU should support most modern titles. Also verify the power draw on both CPU and GPU to ensure they remain within safe ranges.
Sure, I should have mentioned the power consumption as typical for both components, even though it wasn't very high. However, regarding your query, it mainly focused on games around 14 to 15 gigabytes in RAM.
Looks like RAM capacity is the focus. Consider getting a matching set of RAM modules and fitting them into your available slots (assuming you have four). At full load, the 6900X should consume around 280 to 260 watts, while the 5700X would run at about 45 or 35 watts depending on the percentage load.
Are you working with 1080p resolution? The 6900XT is significantly limited by a Ryzen 5700X at that setting. If this applies, consider turning off the Ultra Low Power State ULPS and the MultiPlane Overlay MPO. This could improve frame stability rather than overall performance.
Sure, I'm using 1080p and I'm curious if switching to 1440p would improve the frame rate and timing. The update is turned off, but I might test MPO too.
