Hey hey!
Here I am, my first AMD processor and I'm running into major issues right away.
Okay, I jested. It's pretty lovely, actually. Waaay faster.
But there are some performance issues I experience I'd love your opinion on, which probably aren't technically AMD related, by I can't rule that out yet either.
Hopefully, this is the right forum. First time here, so apologize if I barge in.
My specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 Gaming V2 X (rev. 1.4)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU: ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 3070 TI 8GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3000MHz C16 XMP 2.0
If you need any other information, please let me know.
First, a description of the issue and then a list of what I already tried / am planning to do.
Description:
When playing games (in this case, Resident Evil 4 Remake, I shall try other demanding non-FPS games but RE4 remake is pretty much my benchmark right now),
I experience lags after while.
With continuing playing they tend to get worse for a while, then stay on the same level, i. e. occasional slight lags, screen tearing etc.
(I shall check the FPS count today to see if that's true and not just imagination).
What I tried to fix it:
0)checked the system load via Windows resource monitor
-> CPU stays below 30% load, GPU below 20% even (LMAO)
-> for RAM see below
1) My available physical RAM (IMPORTANMT: NOT installed or reserved RAM,
I'm talking about what's ACTUALLY free to be used) is almost non-existant when playing.
Thus, I have bought another 16GB RAM card (same model as written above).
This is my current best guess, as I also had lags on my old system in very demanding game scenes / certain settings and a new RAM improved it.
2) I removed the old and slower RAM cards I bought when I first build this device in 2017
(8GB each, but only 2400MHz in frequency, compare that to the new ones having 3200MHz and the processor 3400MHz, lol)
-> don't think that improved anything, but using RAM cards with different speeds and specs is stupid anyway
3) enabled XMP via BIOS
-> don't feel any improvement
4) -installed all driver software I could find on Gigabyte's page (ofc. only the processor software, as I'm not using an AMD GPU)
-deinstalled the Nvidia drivers via DDUI and did a clean reinstall (no Geforce experience, just driver, as the former often lead to issues in the past for me)
Didn't try anything else Windows/BIOS-wise yet, energy saving mode is disabled (obviously lol),
but please tell me if there's anything, especially, if you have the same/similar build.
Looking forward to your ideas!
