Performance issues with the Ryzen 5 5600X
Hello, I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 5 5600X. Despite my expectations, the FPS didn’t meet them, so I used Time Spy which showed a Physics Score between 4500 and 5000 (the target was around 8000). I’ve adjusted settings from PBO to off XMP and reset the BIOS several times. All drivers are current and temperatures stayed normal (50-60°C under load). My only thought is the motherboard might be struggling to keep up. Details: OS – Win11 Home CPU – Ryzen 5 5600X Cooler – NZXT Kraken X73 Motherboard – MSI B450 Tomahawk Max (1) RAM – Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3200Mhz GPU – MSI Ventus 3x RTX 3070 SSD – WD.Black 500GB SSD: 2TB crucial mx500. Thanks in advance! Edit: I captured a screenshot of the test (score here was 5962, better than before but still not great) Edit 2: Fixed: Returning to Win10 Pro resolved everything and now I’m getting a score of 8100.
In general, it influences two aspects. Your motherboard is a B450 and only supports PCI-E Gen 3, which limits GPU and NVME drive performance since your current specs operate much faster with PCI-E Gen 4. That’s not your concern—it’s your CPU. To stay on track, I’d focus on: ensuring your power supply can deliver sufficient energy to your CPU for maximum boost speeds, and activating AMD Ryzen High Performance Plan in power settings.
