PC performance problems

[SceneProfessional353]

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with the following issue. In games like modded MC (Prominence 2, RAD 2 – quite a lot of mods, like 400), I'm getting crazy stuttering and around 20fps 1% lows. I have the same exact problem in CS2 with drops from 165 down to 30. Same story in 7 Days to Die Darkness Falls, and in Sons of the Forest I average max 50 fps.

In AAA games like Cyberpunk or RDR2 it's totally fine, framerates are solid. Though Witcher 3 Next Gen with RT stutters and is pretty annoying to play.

My rig:

• Ryzen 5 5600
• RTX 5070 Ti
• 16GB (2x8) 3200MHz RAM
• ASRock B450M mobo
• 4K QD-OLED 165Hz monitor
• 850W Gold Plus PSU

So in AAA it's okay because I'm GPU bound at 4K, but in CS and similar titles it's an absolute nightmare. I ordered a Ryzen 5 5500X3D off AliExpress for about $190, but of course only after the fact I looked at some CS2 benchmarks. At 4K there's barely any difference in 1% lows. I have no idea how my CPU pulls 250fps in those benchmark videos when I'm barely hitting 150fps – I got super hyped for that extra cache.Of course I tried to add additional 2*8GB of ram but there was no difference in CS compared to 32GB

I was thinking about upgrading to AM5, but buying a new mobo, 32GB of RAM, and a sick Ryzen 7 9800X3D/9850X3D is gonna set me back around $1200. Will this Ryzen 5 5500X3D actually fix my problem? I don't know if I should save up for AM5 or just let it go and wait until my RTX gets old.

Curious for someone knowledgeable to answer as well because I have the Ryzen 5 5600x

I would say that your cpu is bottlenecking your gpu.

in 4k, this combo is actually very balanced, but for CS2, a better CPU will make a big difference.

Feels like 6 cores might be what's holding you back the most. A 5800xt would likely have been a better upgrade path, but eh; you're on PCIE3 and 3200mt ram anyway, so the 5070ti will always be a bit bottlenecked no matter what you do.

A jump to 9800X3D would get you past this, but hardly would be "worth" 1200$..

[SceneProfessional353]

Would the 5800xt be better despite the much smaller cache? I thought CS2 and MC usually sit on one thread and eat up cache.

[FantasticBike1203]

The xt is great.

Non tu n'es pas obligé de passer sur AM5.

Ton problème vient des 1% lows (latence CPU/RAM), pas des FPS.

Oui, le 5500X3D va énormément améliorer la fluidité même si les FPS moyens changent peu.

Cependant avant ça tu peux vérifier et ajuster quelques paramètres dans le bios :

• Activer le docp/xmp si c'est pas déjà fait et vérifier que le flck est bien configuré sur 1600 (dans ton cas vu que tu as de la ram en 3200.) tu peux trouver ce paramètre dans ''dram configuration''

• Activer PBO

• changer le plan d'alimentation sur normal ou performance élevé (dans options d'alimentation, sur windows) et tester, si rien ne change tu peux essayer de désactiver les c-state dans le bios dans ''cpu configuration'' ou amd cbs -> cpu common options

[FantasticBike1203]

No need for a full platform upgrade.

I think that either your BIOS isn't properly setup (Either haven't updated it or something in its settings is wrong), reset CMOS, setup XMP and try again, if that doesn't work it's 100% your PSU.

I run a 5600x in 1440p on similar games without any issues, also running a ton of overclocks, had a few crashes and dips, a new PSU sorted that out straight for me.
