What's causing my frame rate to drop compared to others with identical hardware?
What's causing my frame rate to drop compared to others with identical hardware?
Hello, I'm experiencing the problem described in the title. Components:
AMD Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT
Ryzen 7 5700x3d
Asrock b450m motherboard
Adata DDR4 2x8GB 3000MHz RAM
Adata SU630 480GB SSD
High Power 850W 80+ Bronze PSU
Windows 10 currently,
First of all, I recently upgraded my graphics card from 1660 super to 9070 xt. When I play Cyberpunk 2077 with my 1080p monitor, I think I normally need to get 120 to 110 or 130 FPS in the city on CP2077 in YouTube gaming tests. I'm in raw mode with RT FSR off, but I'm getting 80-90 FPS. I see up to 140 FPS in isolated areas. But sometimes i experience fps drops and this causes stuttering. People on the internet seem to have smooth gameplay, but I either have lower FPS than them or stuttering. This happened to me in the poe2 game too. I know the optimization of the game is terrible, but players with my card seem to have a smoother gameplay than me.
Here are the things I tried while searching for this;
1- Clean installation with DDU (I learned this after installing the graphics card, but later I deleted both amd and nvidia with DDU and installed a clean driver while there was no internet connection.)
2- FURMARK 2 test;
3- Heaven benchmark(also 1080p):
FPS:348.8
Score:8785
Min FPS: 59.4
Max FPS: 638.9
4- Monitoring the temperature during gaming or benchmarks wasn't a problem. Also, graphics card usage appeared normal.
5- Tried 2k gameplay with Virtual Super Resolution.
Also, the power is connected to my graphics card via a single cable from the PSU. This is something I should have changed, but people said it didn't have much of an impact on FPS.
What could be causing this or how can i spot the problem? Is it because I'm not getting power from 2 cables? I'm looking forward to your feedback!!
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
High Power 850W 80+ Bronze PSU is the official product from OEM. The 850W rating reflects the power output, while 80+ bronze indicates the efficiency level. Could you share your unit’s model and the age of your PSU?
ASRock is the board manufacturer, B450 is the chipset, and M denotes the form factor. Which board matches your setup? Also, please mention the BIOS version you’re using for your motherboard.
Adata DDR4 2x8GB at 3000MHz RAM is ideal for a Ryzen processor on the B450 chipset, paired with tight-latency dual-channel memory. For B550 chipsets, a better fit would be DDR4-3600MHz or DDR4-3600MT/s.
Is it because you’re not receiving power from two cables?

Sorry for not being more precise;
PSU: High Power Element Revo Atx 3.1 850W 80+ Bronze Pcie 5.1 Atx Power Supply (I purchased it with the GPU a week ago.)
Motherboard: I'll update my message with the BIOS version once I get home.
RAM: It was actually below 3000MHz, but I opened an XMP profile to reach 3000MHz.
and this is how my GPU is connected to the PSU.
It is already activated. Are you asking about raising its frequency further?
Can you show screenshots from CPU-Z - memory and spd sections,
to verify XMP has been enabled properly?

Others might have increased their system speeds.
Are you using any additional applications during testing? For instance, Discord, performance monitors, update checkers, startup programs, or any unusual applications appearing in your installed list.
Also, it's important to note that running two 8-pin connectors from a single power supply lead can be risky. The single cable may overheat or cause damage.
Always use two cables.
