Unusual slow performance detected...
Hello, welcome to this space of endless learning. I recently attempted to assemble a new system from scratch (originally built with 10850k) targeting a 7800x3d configuration with 32GB DDR5 6000MT CL40/CL36. The process was extremely challenging—I struggled to achieve stability, experiencing frequent freezes during desktop idle, sudden crashes while booting, and even BIOS issues. I tried updating the BIOS, adjusting RAM speeds, swapping out motherboards and RAM modules. It seemed like a potential failure.
Eventually, I switched to a 13900k with 32GB 6000MT CL32, which worked smoothly in about 20 minutes. Now, my main concern is performance in CSGO:
- On the 7800x3d setup (4800MT, 32GB RAM), I managed ~800 FPS in a 10v10 match.
- With the 13900k (6000MT, 32GB CL32/CL40), I see around 400–600 FPS, reaching up to 5.5GHz on similar servers.
I’m curious if the lower frame rate on the 13900k is due to my PSU being underpowered. I attempted enabling Multicore Enhancement in the BIOS, but the game crashed during launch. My current setup uses a SuperFlower Golden King Pro 600W PSU (80+ Platinum). Could the power limitations be affecting performance? Full specs: Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X AX, 13900KF, 32GB 6000MT CL32, Arctic Freezer II 360 AIO, 2TB NVME SSD (Intel/Samsung), 4070ti SuperFlower GoldenKingPro 600W.
The 13900ks temperatures can spike and lead to reduced performance. After some investigation, it seems the 7900x performs better in CSGO benchmarks. It might be that AMD gives it an edge. How does your 13900k stack up against other models? You might want to run some tests to see if it lags elsewhere. Make sure all settings are correctly configured. From what I observed, a 380 fps was typical for a 7900x in CSGO, so the 7800x3d should match that level.
Temps - 40-50 max during gameplay, using all low configurations only in-game on both builds. Other demanding titles I don't often play besides CSGO; Tarkov occasionally, but I'm not sure it's reliable for benchmarks. In-game CPU usage is typically around 80-120 watts, while other applications can spike to 150 watts or more. This gives it some headroom if needed.
It's frustrating to see these numbers, honestly. I usually get lower frame rates in CSGO, but Diablo 4 on Ultra is solid. Dota2 on ultra high with a 12v12 feels great, and Tarkov on Medium+ with DLSS gives decent performance. All set at 1920x1080.
Everything appears to be functioning correctly. It might be what Shimejii mentioned.
I understand. I was considering upgrading to a higher power supply, like 850W, to see if it would make a difference.
It's feasible. You mentioned you can't handle multicore improvements, but it depends on whether it makes sense for you.
