RTX 2070 not experiencing any bottleneck issues
RTX 2070 not experiencing any bottleneck issues
Hello fellow users,
I encountered an issue with my newly assembled PC. I upgraded from an i5 4690k to a Ryzen 5 2600. Although I was aware that the i5 4690k could limit my GPU performance, I hadn’t realized it during that upgrade.
When playing Fortnite Creative mode—where I can customize anything on my island and achieve high FPS—I consistently get over 400 FPS. However, in Battle Royale mode, my performance drops to around 160-300 FPS max. During intense battles or endgame scenarios with about 40 players in a tight circle, lag becomes noticeable. My average remains around 90 FPS, sometimes dropping to 60 when I use roughly 30% of my GPU power.
I play on all low and off settings. It can be frustrating when trying to eliminate opponents, especially since I’m a pro player. Also, I want to clarify that I’m not causing bottlenecks—I’m using about 30% CPU while the GPU is around 50%.
Here are my specifications:
- RX 2070 gaming graphics card
- Ryzen 5 2600 (3.9 GHz)
- 16GB DDR4 RAM at 2400MHz
- B450 Tomahawk motherboard
- 240GB SSD (Fortnite downloaded)
- 600W PSU
- 1TB hard drive
I really hope you can assist me! If you have any solutions or suggestions, please reply to this thread. Thanks!
Which PSU do you have? Also, a 2400mhz is quite low for Ryzen since the gap between 2400 and 3200mhz can be as large as 20 FPS and often results in more consistent frame rates.
Additionally, consider increasing the RAM speed to 2666 or higher.
We must identify the precise model, because if it's a low-end unit it won't function well and might lead to performance problems or even damage the 2070. Regarding the memory, even if it seems sufficient, it isn't ideal for optimal performance with Ryzen. A single 16gb stick is worse than dual-channel setups. Overclocking both the CPU and memory can improve FPS, but ensure your PSU is ready before proceeding.
