FPS decreases in Rocket League when using an RTX 3060.
Hi all,
On certain arenas I experience 240 fps with drops to 60, while at others I get around 170 fps when it falls to 30 fps. It’s clearly *much better than 60 fps* consistently – Rocket League ran smoother on my PS5.
I’m hoping for improved performance and don’t understand why.
Here’s my setup:
HP Z4 G4 Desktop Workstation
CPU: Intel Xeon W-2135
GPU: RTX 3060 with 12GB GDDR6
RAM: 64GB DDR4 ECC
Storage: 256GB NVMe SSD
I play Rocket League at 1080p, with most settings optimized for performance (though it doesn’t seem to make much difference – a bit odd).
Any thoughts on what might be limiting or what I could investigate further?
1st - PS5 supports up to max 120 FPS, so keep your frame rate at that level and check if performance improves on your PC.
2nd - The internal GPU in the PS5 is roughly comparable to an RX 6700, while your RTX 3060 is less powerful than it would be with an RX 6700. See the comparison here: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nv...vsm1880631
3rd - Console games are typically tuned for specific hardware, whereas PC games need to work across a wide range of CPUs, GPUs, and RAM configurations, which makes them less optimized.
Thank you for your feedback.
The improvement in max FPS is minimal, and it doesn't match the consistent performance of the PS5.
From the benchmark data, the PS5's GPU appears to be roughly 15% more efficient.
Are you certain the GPU is the main issue, or could other factors be involved?
It's easy to test if build is held back by CPU or GPU.
Play your game at high/ultra settings and note down the average FPS.
Then, play it again but reduce graphics to low and note down the average FPS.
If the FPS increased quite a bit, build is held back by GPU (since you reduced the load on GPU).
But if the FPS didn't increase (or only 1-2 FPS), then build is held back by CPU.
Best to test it with several different games, since some games low vs high quality doesn't have much impact on GPU performance (especially CPU bound games).
While max FPS on PS5 is 120, the game can actually run 60 FPS. So, try limiting the FPS to 60 as well and look if things improve.
There's a diff between decent and good, especially since you want to have high FPS.
Your Xeon W-2135 vs e.g older Ryzen 5 3600,
comparison:
https://technical.city/en/cpu/Ryzen-5-36...eon-W-2135
Both are 6 core, 12 thread CPU. But yours consumes more than twice the power and due to it being 2 years older than R5 3600, is also worse in terms of performance.
Found this FPS test video of Rocket League, where the GPU is same as yours, RTX 3060.
But CPU is the Ryzen 5 3600:

You can view the FPS count yourself. I can't tell what the average of 1% low is, since it only shows current FPS.
But based on what i see there, just having a bit better CPU, it bumps up the FPS quite a bit, on 1080p high/ultra settings.
And another video, where CPU is bit better than in previous video; Ryzen 5 5500 with same RTX 3060 GPU on 1080p high/ultra settings:
