Question 650W not enough?

[brandonreyes545]

CPU: Ryzen 7 1700X
GPU: RTX 2080
RAM: G.Skill 2x8 2400mhz
FANS: 3x 120mm
CPU FAN: Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo
PSU: Corsair CX-M 650w

I've recently just upgraded my 1060 6gb to a 2080 and decided to benchmark some games. For most games like GTA 5, Minecraft with shaders, and WarThunder, I would literally get like 40 fps difference from when I had the 1060. So I figured it could be my PSU undervolting evrything?Any thoughts?

High end GPU and budget PSU......

You're acting like I'm supposed to know this. Why do you think I asked for help in the first place.

While your psu is not the best it couldn’t cause this problem. I would suggest monitoring gpu and cpu (across all cores) usage while in game. Let us know if any cpu cores or the gpu are getting close to 100%.

What resolution are you gaming at?

PSU should be fine with a 2080. Not ideal, but fine.

Make sure CPU and GPU temps are under 80 couple. Also, try updating your GPU drivers.

I always game at 1920x1080. I'll also let you know what the percentages are as soon as possible. I'll even provide screenshots.

Run this and post the link here: www.userbenchmark.com

And bottlenecking too, the 2080 will be bottlenecked by your CPU at 1080P.

No way around it either other than a CPU upgrade or get a 1440P monitor.

You should see a bigger increase tho, depending on the circumstance of course.

Not really...., Depends on the games though I suppose, but in general it will bottleneck it. Could be severe depending on the game.

Very well known and well documented issue with the 1080Ti and 2080 and faster.

The information I have asked for should help indicate a bottleneck. If it looks likely there is another test to prove it. While I do think a cpu bottleneck is a strong possibility we should prove it before suggesting the OP spends money on upgrades.

AMD doesn't make a CPU that can keep up with a GTX 1080Ti or RTX 2080 at 1080P.....

Maybe the new one.... The Ryzen 3 or whatever it is, haven't paid attention one way or the other on those.

Look at the facts before making a statement like that.

 

[jankerson]

You have got to be kidding.

Go do research and come back with facts.

Facts everywhere and well documented all over the internet and has been for awhile know.

And from honest reviewers. 😉

A Ryzen 5 3600x performs like an 8700k.

That's the latest gen. CPU... 😉

Not the last 2.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

I'm agreeing the 1700x will indeed bottleneck.

Isn't the latest supposed to be better than the last two?

In gaming I mean?

Haven't really looked at it....

Much better.

The 9700k and 9900k are still kings, for now, tho, but AMD are barely behind.

The 3600x alone ties the 8700k in games and wins in everything else.

I thought I read that someplace. 👍

Not that it matters to me, but it's good for AMD.

So what? It’s also possible there is something else stopping the system reaching its full potential. As I said earlier I think a cpu bottleneck is a strong possibility but let’s prove it first so we can give the best advice. A cpu bottleneck should be easy to prove.

 

[brandonreyes545]

So I got the results in and it seems that my GPU is close to 100% load every time. I used GTAV to benchmark my PC with everything on max. I also have the userbenchmark results as well.

 

[brandonreyes545]

These are the graphics settings if anyone is interested

 

[Phaaze88]

Oof. Slow ram. This also affects the cpu.
3000 - 3600mhz for the best performance with Ryzen cpus.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

DDU and reinstall drivers.
