bad fps 2700x/1080ti

[idleidleidleidleidle]

so i just upgraded to a 1080ti to partner my 2700x. and my fps in games is just not what i expected/see online. a lot of the things i read in forums etc say that 1080ti is just not great for 1080p but i play on 2560x1080 and also tried increasing resolution scale in games like bf1 on ultra/low and get 60-80fps which isnt great for 120hz refresh rate. i do only have 12gb of ram at 2400mhz rn but did plan on getting 16gb for 3200 but i didnt think it would make this much of difference. cpu temps are fine about 34c idle and 50-65 on load. sorry for bad english but i would just like help thank you

12gb ? So you're running single channel as well as 2400mhz?

Thats going to drop 30% perfoemance wise compared to dual channel,3000mhz , maybe more in some scenarios

Yes, as stated above, you need the fastest pair or set of 4 matched, DDR4 Dual Channel that you can get to make your Ryzen shine, pun intended ;-)

i did have 16gb before but it was 3 sticks, but one stick of 4gb stopped working when i updated mobo, was making games crash and running memtest showed it being faulty. i guess i shall just buy better ram then.

ok it will be my next purchase, is it normal by the way for my cpu usage to be above gpu in game like bf1? cpu was about 70-80 whilst gpu on 50-70

 

[Peter Martin]

yes! BF1 is CPU intensive so getting that PC 3200 DDR Dual Chanel working is a must

 

[madmatt30]

I would still wxoect more than 60-80fps in all honesty & the most ive tpuched on bf1 mp with a ryzen 1700@4ghz is below 70% usage.

Something,does seem a little off to be honest.

Id pull another 4 gb stick out just leaving slots 1 & 3 populated so it runs in dual channel,& see if theres any improvement .

You have enabled xmp/docp to ensure that ram is actually running at 2400mhz??

 

[Peter Martin]

he will see lots of improvement with dual channel for sure, while gaming, run Resource Monitor and see what it is eating all the resources for CPU, Drive, Network and Memory

I found once it was my security stuff scanning and such

so even tho one stick is 8gb and one is 4gb, running at both 2400 and in slot 1/3 it is not running dual?

 

[Peter Martin]

use a program called CPU-Z and look at the memory channels tab and see, it may not be.

yes it says it is in single channel mode, i am guessing this is because one is 8gb and one is 4?

i am an idiot it was in slot 2 now it is running dual with slot 1/3 so i try bf1 now again
