PC struggles with low frame rates on high-end systems.
PC struggles with low frame rates on high-end systems.
Hello. I see you're a beginner in fish farming, maybe that's why you're confused. You mentioned having a high-end PC setup—specifically a 3900x processor, 3090 graphics card, and 3600 MHz RAM with 32GB of storage. The CPU isn't the strongest, but you're still seeing much lower frame rates than what you'd expect on YouTube with similar hardware and a weaker GPU. At 1440p resolution, could you share what you've tried so far? Also, you have two 2TB M.2 hard drives. Any advice would be helpful!
Don't rely solely on YouTube streamers for FPS results; it won't always match exactly unless your setup is identical. Settings vary, and differences in hardware will impact performance. Consider factors like GPU drivers, background processes, and system updates. Many benchmarks are tested on brand-new Windows versions, so minor variations can cause noticeable changes. Also, check if the creators are trustworthy or just posting generic FPS graphs without proper context.
It seems the CPU bottleneck might be significant. Let's check the details.
The 1440p should work just fine, though the 5800x3D would be even better. It really depends on the games, but you should still be able to perform well with the 3900x.
Ryzen configurations can be quite sensitive to RAM, possibly due to the processors or the boards themselves. I faced several challenges over four months, dealing with both intermittent and persistent problems. It wasn’t until I returned the board for an RMA that I found new issues emerged on a different setup. I learned that manufacturers maintain QVL lists, which serve a purpose despite common concerns. This experience cost me extra $325 and caused significant frustration that could have been avoided. The board was sent back with a message it couldn’t resolve, but components from the original build were moved to another case. A replacement machine was built using RAM from each manufacturer’s QVL list, and both now function perfectly—sometimes even better. I recommend verifying DOCP settings first. Interestingly, even though the RAM was listed in the QVL for my TUF B550-PLUS, it didn’t recognize the timings Asus specified, so I had to adjust them manually.

Also mention the exact benchmarks you're facing issues with, so we can pinpoint the problem better. Are you seeing slower performance on a particular benchmark like Cinebench or Time Spy Extreme? Is it with a specific game at certain settings? Also, let me know the resolution you're using.
Yeah.... Haha. I would love to do all of this. But im not capable to. I have set ram to 3600 MHz in bios. And thats about what i know how to. You guys is amazing with all your answers. I have thought its the ram the hole time. But i dont know how to fix it or find out how to know it thats the problem. And also now i have made a new family member and this pc was supposed to last me a long long time before i use any more money. I cant just switch motherboard or ram. My wife will kill me with a spoon or a frosen fish
