Frame rates are below anticipated levels.
Frame rates are below anticipated levels.
I recently purchased an MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max motherboard with a Ryzen 5 3600 processor, alongside an RTX 2060 Super and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. Despite this configuration, I experienced disappointing performance in my favorite games. While not entirely inadequate, the frame rates were significantly lower than expected, particularly in demanding titles like Escape From Tarkov (achieving 55-80 FPS). I have attempted various solutions, including maximizing power settings and updating drivers, as well as performing a clean Windows installation. Benchmarks indicate that the issue is likely software-related, leaving me uncertain about the next steps. Currently, I suspect a RAM problem. My system specifications are: MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max, RTX 2060 Super, Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB DDR4 RAM (dual channel), Windows 10, two SSDs, and dual monitors at 1080p. Here is a benchmark result: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/23906957. I am seeking a second opinion to confirm whether RAM is potentially the cause of my low frame rates.
Fast memory significantly improves AMD Ryzen performance. Switching from 2133 MHz to 3200 MHz can result in a 25-30 FPS difference in some games, or at the minimum, eliminate frame rate drops.
Edit:
Your 3200 MHz memory is currently running at 2400 MHz. Verify that the sticks are installed in the appropriate slots (typically A2/B2) and enable XMP in the BIOS to ensure the memory operates at its intended speed, voltage, and timings, thereby resolving performance problems.
Random Access Memory exhibits a notably low performance rating on the YA benchmark.
Have you verified your CPU’s FPS in the games causing problems, or did you rely on general benchmarks? Because most benchmarks are for AAA titles at maximum settings, effectively becoming GPU benchmarks.

The BIOS update appears to have disabled XMP, and I’ve set it to profile 1, which is effectively doubling my FPS in Tarkov. I feel a little foolish but also relieved. Thank you! I would like to ask, should you use A-XMP profile 1 or 2 in the MSI BIOS?
It’s resolved, I experienced a comparable problem previously with my device and it was easily rectified. Either XMP profile should function.
