Hey guys, been facing low performance on almost every game , at least lower than expected by most benchmarks on the web.
The system in use is :
8350FX @ 4.2Ghz (Acceptable Temps)
Gtx 970 Gigabyte G1 Gaming
2X4Gb (8gb) 1366Mhz DDR3 Ram running on dual channel
990fxa-ud3 Latest available bios version for this REV
700W Vitsuba PSU 80 Plus Bronze
Running most games from HDD , but swapping to SSD didn't make no difference
Some of the games in the matter are :
(MIN/AVG)
Doom 2016 (30/80fps) ---- Benchmarks on the web : (90/104fps)
Insurgency (20/40fps) --- No need for online benchmarks thats just too low for this cpu
Arma 3 Extremely low... Not over 40 fps (I know its badly optimized, this is just to mention it)
Fallout 4 (30/50fps)
The thing is , cpu is never over 60/70% use and the GPU is also not getting 100% usage...
Most of the time the games slow down below 60fps the cpu is at 60% and the gpu is not over 50%...
When the fps go up to the hundreds , most of the time the cpu is still at 60%/70% but gpu is at 100% which sounds a bit more reasonable.
I was thinking of a cpu bottleneck, but the benchmarks on the web say otherwise.. Is ram speed important for gaming? Is 1366mhz too slow ? Is RAM bottlenecking my cpu??
Not even one of the CPU cores reach 100% load in any time, which is weird.. Shouldn't it at least be at 100% on one of the cores if the cpu is actually bottlenecking?
It all sounds too weird but i haven't found any posts anywhere explaining if ram speed as low as 1366mhz could generate a bottleneck.
Thanks guys for your time!
