How to maximize my performance

thomasjamesbullock · Nov 14, 2017

Hi guys,
I have a
ryzen 1700x clocked to 3.7GHz
asus strix 1080
16gb of DDR4 at 3200MHz

However, I feel like I am not getting the most out of my pc, e.g I play destiny at reasonable settings but rarely get over 100fps
I dunno if its drivers etc. but something doesnt quite feel right
maybe its just normal
any help would be appreciated

Are you monitoring utilization of the CPU/RAM/GPU? What about temps?

What resolution are you playing at?

thomasjamesbullock · Nov 14, 2017

playing at 1080p
cpu doesnt go above 55 Celsius and not above 50% utilization, dunno about gpu not very high though

What settings are you playing at? When the CPU/GPU are vastly overpowered, they don't keep churning out FPS exponentially .... so on low(er) settings or resolutions, it's not unrealistic for the CPU/GPU to be barely stressed at all when it's already achieving a "good" (depending on the metric) framerate.

Try turning up settings to V.High/Ultra at 1080p.....

I have been playing on max settings just a few things off like v sync and shadows
on csgo I 200fps on 16:9 and 1080p should I be getting more?

Is your 1700X underclocked?? Should boost to 3.8GHz out of the box.

Looking here:

Ultra settings >100FPS, High >130FPS.

Now, "some guy" on Youtube is not a definitive result by any stretch, but gives you some idea.
Those 1080's are paired with a 7700K though, so the lower IPC of the 1700X could be holding you back some. OCing the 1700X above stock speeds (3.8GHz) should help some....
