The Discrepancy Between Anticipated Outcomes and Actual Results
The Discrepancy Between Anticipated Outcomes and Actual Results
I completely reset everything and began anew.
The hard drive is reporting 100% utilization on Userbenchmark, rather than the previous 81%.
Anthem hasn’t improved significantly; it continues to perform poorly even with reduced settings and within a confined space. I'm baffled by this issue.
Battlefield V, however, operates smoothly at maximum settings with minimal fluctuation around 60 frames per second, even on the heavily populated map Devastation. This is before considering switching to DirectX 12, which would likely further enhance performance.
I lack the time for additional testing currently, but I plan to conduct further diagnostics and obtain precise data regarding my CPU, GPU speeds, and temperatures when I return home this evening.
Following my arrival home and launching Ryzen Master and Afterburner, I conducted a test run of Battlefield V. The following data was recorded:
Processor: Operating at 4.050 GHz, peaking at 55°C.
Graphics Card: Running at 1936 MHz Core, 5005 MHz Memory, achieving a temperature of 53°C.
I'm uncertain if this information is particularly insightful; however, please advise if there are additional details you require that could be beneficial. I believe the system performs adequately since I can execute Battlefield V on maximum settings with occasional frame fluctuations. It appears to be primarily due to random game occurrences. Notably, Anthem presented an unusual challenge related to its underlying engine, despite not being developed by DICE.
Possibly. It’s unlikely a networking protocol would lead to such significant frame rate drops. As previously mentioned, I can generally achieve the highest settings in The Witcher 3, excluding dynamic hair features. FFXIV, ESO, and WoW are all enjoyable. The only MMO I haven't fully completed is GW2, but it appears to be widely regarded as poorly optimized – which makes sense. Perhaps like with Anthem, you’ll experience some performance issues even with considerable effort unless you opt for a forceful approach.
I’m considering purchasing an EVO 970 now that my payment has cleared; that should provide a noticeable improvement when transitioning from a traditional hard drive to a PCI solid-state device. It will be like shifting from a bicycle to a jet plane, I suppose. …I might also acquire Metro Exodus while I'm at it.
It’s regrettable, but installing from the beginning on the M.2 drive is advisable due to its unique access method; ensuring correct setup early on is beneficial.
Completed the task.
Performance Metrics: Game 120%, Desk 140%, Work 123%
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X – 97.8%
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 1080 – 129.7%
Solid State Drive: Samsung 970 Evo NVMe PCIe M.2 1TB – 320.9%
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 C15 4x8GB – 95.6%
Motherboard: MSI B450 GAMING PLUS (MS-7B86)
These are my latest measurements. Everything is progressing smoothly. I believe my subsequent improvement will involve acquiring something other than this 27” 32-bit display. I may opt for a 2K, 144Hz, 32” curved model from MSI. We’ll observe how it unfolds. I consider 4K to be excessive unless viewed on a large screen.
