Hey! Your PC setup looks solid for gaming. The Ryzen 7 2700 with an RTX 2080 should handle most titles smoothly, especially at lower settings. You mentioned the CPU stays around 3400MHz without overclocking, which is great—your OC settings seem fine. The low FPS numbers you're seeing might be due to game quality, resolution, or other factors rather than your hardware. Double-check your graphics drivers and ensure they're up to date. If performance remains an issue, it could be a software or driver problem. Let me know what you find!
It's common knowledge that Ryzen processors rarely reach their claimed boost performance when they're in use.
It's not about the time it's been since you last updated, my friend. The issue might be with how your system handles the game or settings. Even with similar hardware, factors like driver updates, background processes, or slight configuration tweaks can affect performance. Check if your GPU drivers are up to date and see if any recent changes impacted CSGO.
Locate the Ryzen master in the top right corner, press the reset button. Power off the system and enter BIOS, selecting "restore defaults" via F10, then save changes. Verify Windows settings and ensure the power plan is set correctly. Enable Ryzen Balanced to begin. Configure Ryzen Master to prevent startup with Windows. Restart once more. Observe the CPU behavior afterward.
I tried pressing the reset button and it confirmed everything was ready out of stock. I believed the issue stemmed from not enabling Ryzen Balanced power mode, so I adjusted it but it didn’t help. I also set Ryzen Master to not launch with Windows initially. The BIOS reset was done because I thought there might be a small mistake affecting performance, but it had no impact.
