You're facing significant performance issues with your PC setup running Doom Eternal on Ultra Nightmare. It seems the drop in FPS is likely due to compatibility or power constraints. Let's review the components:
- **GPU**: RTX 2060 6GB (stock speeds) – not the most powerful for modern games.
- **CPU**: Ryzen 2700X – solid, but may struggle with demanding settings.
- **RAM**: 16 GB DDR4 – adequate for most tasks, but could benefit from more.
- **Storage**: SSD + 1TB HD – good for loading times, but not a bottleneck.
- **Power Supply**: RM850X – sufficient for your build.
- **Monitor**: 144Hz G-SYNC enabled – good refresh rate.
Possible causes:
- **GPU limitations**: RTX 2060 may not handle Ultra Nightmare settings smoothly.
- **CPU bottleneck**: Stock speeds might not match the game's demands.
- **Power supply**: Ensure it can handle the load, especially under stress.
- **Driver issues**: Outdated or incompatible drivers could cause instability.
Check if you're using the latest drivers for your GPU and CPU. Consider upgrading to a more powerful GPU if possible. Also, ensure your system has enough RAM and stable power delivery. If you're still experiencing drops, try lowering in-game settings or testing with a different game.
Running certain visual effects or background services like Discord with hardware acceleration may lead to performance issues in games. Your system appears capable, but it could be due to conflicting background applications. Consider switching to the Ryzen High Performance power plan. If you've installed chipset drivers, they should appear in your power settings interface.
You can adjust the Ryzen High Performance power plan using built-in Windows settings without needing third-party tools.
It's a Windows configuration you can modify. Use the start menu to look for "Choose a power plan" and you'll find it. If "AMD Ryzen TM High Performance" isn't listed, you can either use just High Performance or install your motherboard chipset drivers and try again. Your power plans panel is somewhat active, but this should point you in the right direction.
Sadly, I can't provide that information since I don't have the necessary knowledge. But you're right—regardless of your chipset driver, you can always upgrade to newer ones.
Unfortunately, despite updating the chipset drivers and closing everything around me, I still face issues with my frame rate. Even after installing AMD Ryzen Master to monitor CPU activity, I discovered my EDC is at its maximum. Could you guess what this might mean? I’m just sitting idle on my PC.
On my machine—compatible with a 5GHz 8700K and a 5700XT—I run at 1440p resolution, often using high settings. Sometimes I hit the 70s. I don’t even use Ultra Nightmare.
