New computer and low fps
I recently built a computer about two months ago and I experienced low fps issues. No matter what game or settings I adjusted to (all low or ultra), I received 30-50fps. I reinstalled the drivers, reinstalled windows, reinstalled all of my games, performed clean boots, fixed my settings in the Nvidia panel to best optimize fps results from youtube videos and nothing worked. One day, my fps went up to about 90-120 and I didn't question it. It wasn't the best but it was bearable. After I moved to another state, I started experiencing the same problems. During this time, there were new driver updates and new updates for windows. My pc was not harmed in any way during the drive because I made sure to protect it with cushion. Now I did what I did the first time but nothing is working. I need help. Here are the specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor

MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC ATX AM4 Motherboard

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory

Western Digital Blue 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB GAMING OC Video Card

Cooler Master MB600L ODD ATX Mid Tower Case

EVGA BQ 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

Hello,

Can you list some of the games you had the fps issue with? That would be helpful.


Can you do a 15 min test to see your CPU/GPU usage and temperatures while playing those games?

Usage:
- Open up Windows Task Manager and go to performance tab. Here you will be able to monitor CPU/GPU usage. Make sure to leave it in the running in background during your test

If either CPU or the GPU are reaching ~90-100%, that means that your PC is running at its max. If none of them are reaching ~90-100%, that means that either the game is poorly optimized, or it is a configuration issue.

Temperature:
- Download "AMD Overdrive" to monitor your CPU temp
- Download " GPU Temp" to monitor your GPU temp

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X max temp is 95°C, so it will start thermal throttling if it gets near that temperature.
GTX 1660 Ti also has a max temp is 95°C.


Also, check your VSync settings.
If adaptive VSync is not enabled the game will drop to 30FPS if you cant get a constant 60FPS.
It is best to disable VSync completely for now.

Edit:
Also, check you DIMMs to confirm that all of them are inserted properly.

Use HW Monitor to check temps, use DDU for GPU drivers. Make sure the RAM is in DIMM slot 2 and 4. Make sure your HDMI cable goes to the GPU and not anything else.

It could possibly be the PSU. 80+ Bronze is not very good, you should be buying 80+ Gold and up.

You have clearly no idea what you talk about... Not using RAm in dual channel mdoe just halfs the bandwidth but has nothing to do with the FPS.
Ryzen 2600X has no iGPU. If the monitor cable wouldnt be connected to the GPU, he wouldnt get a picture on the screen in the first place...

A PSu has nothign to do with FPS. Espacially not the efifiency rating. Gold or Bronze makes no difference and also dont tell fi the PSU actually is good or not. There is a fair ammoutn of Bronze rated PSU outthere that are build quality wise better then some Gold OEM's. But again is power converting Efficiency from AC to DC not a ratign how good a PSU is.


@Op

Have youa ctivate AMP or a translator from XMP to AMp like DOCP in your BIOS so that the RAM actually running at 3200MHz.
How is your temperature of all components? What is runnign in the background (there is always soemthign runnign in background) what is the load of GPU and CPU? have you tried an older driver version already?

Games: Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch, CSGO
My GPU fluctuates from 22-26%
My CPU fluctuates between 13-16%
Temps are 75 C for GPU
Temp normal for CPU as well
VSync has always been turned off

@tacoshy I already activated the DOCP to reach 3200MHZ in bios. I have already installed older drivers but nothing works. There is nothing else running in the background but the game
