Resolved: Performance issues at reduced frame rates with a powerful system.
Despite my computer being quite capable, I'm experiencing consistently low frame rates. My friends with comparable hardware are achieving around 200 frames, but I'm struggling to maintain a stable performance in games like Destiny 2. It’s perplexing why this is happening, and I suspect there’s a reason related to my system configuration. You can view my parts list here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zcTHZR
Could you describe what components your friends are using?
Initially, the first generation Ryzen processors lagged behind Intel considerably in terms of single-core speed, which is important for gaming.
Your current configuration appears promising, but a 1600 processor will likely struggle to keep up with a GTX 1080 Ti. You should consider upgrading to a Ryzen 2600 or, ideally, a Ryzen 3600. Remember to update your motherboard's BIOS to the version suggested for either processor while it’s still connected.
