So after wanting to upgrade for the longest time ever my friends suggested to wait cause AMD has new CPUs that are constantly out of stock, I finally manage to snag a 3800x. and after installing everything, I was very disappointed to notice that alot of my games run worse than my previous build. Almost as if I downgraded. was I shopping into the wrong audience? Because I almost exclusively play fps games, and frame rates are very important to me.
Its weird, cause the CPU runs some of my games phenomenally and others (mostly big map games) the frame rate is all over the place.
My goal with this build was trying to stream or use shadowplay with zero drops or performance impact. No delay or anything I'd have problems with. Yet I get drops more often and more horrible than before.
My old build was
CPU- Intel i7 4970k
MOBO- MSI B85-G41 PC Mate, really shit mobo not that important
RAM- Vengance corsair RAM DDR3 1600MHz Quad Channel 16gb
GPU- Gtx 1070
PSU- evga supernova 850 watt battery,
h80i corsair water cooler
I only changed the MOBO, the RAM, and the CPU. Everything else is reused.
MOBO MSI MPG X570 Gaming PRo Carbon WIFI
CPU Ryzen 7 3800x
RAM g.skill FlareX DDR4 3200MHz 16gb dual channel
You would think that with a better cpu my games would run better at least, but no. I experience more detrimental drops. Again this mostly happens in areas with big maps. I mostly play fps, the games that I tested this build on was DOOM 2016, Wolfenstein 2 The New colossus, and APEX legends. In all of these games, the frame rate is fine in enclosed areas. I hit 144+ with ease. Going outside however where the skybox is visable and their is open terrain and alot to deal with. It dips hard, and it's really annoying cause my old build ran these games just fine.
Is it something to do with optimization? does windows 10 just not like this cpu yet? is there a driver that I need to install for AMD's Ryzen? I already installed geforce for my nvidia card, how is that not enough? Does ryzen just not like Nvidia cards? Do i have to buy a radeon or an rtx or something?
If the later is true I might as well just switch to intel and get a i9, because this is really disappointing.
Note: I have noticed that my dips mostly occurred when my gpu is at 100% via my task manager. This never happened when I was on intel, and yet it ran my games perfectly fine. 144+ with little to no dips or problems, or screwing over my GPU. The only reason I wanted to upgrade was because my shitty quad core cpu was horrible at multitasking. I have a friend that owns a 1080 who also runs a ryzen build and he is suffering from the same problems. I watched the benchmarks for the 2080 and they are also just as bad.
Although if there is a fix, or something I should be considering. It would be nice to know.
