Ok, i made a thread about my pc getting low fps in rust but i got no good explanation so i will try one more time with more detailed information, i just cant let it go..


I have a 2080 RTX OC with a

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
32 gb of RAM
750W PSU
ASUS ROG Strix B450-F GAMING, Socket-AM4 motherboard.
Screen :
Asus 27" MG278Q
2560x1440, 144hz, 1ms, FreeSync, 2xHDMI/DP,



My friends have 1070/1080 cards with Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor and they get 100+ fps, while im stuck at 75. With the same settings and resulotion.

The fps wont change if i change the settings.
My GPU usage is only at 25%-38% and CPU around 35% and its killing me, i bought the computer just for better fps in Rust because its the game i play the most. I had the same fps with my older laptop with 4k screen with a 1070 card..

The GPU usaged would go up to around 66% with all setttings on high.. but then my fps goes down lower, 60-65 fps

Tried all types of resulotions.
Gsync is off
Vsync is off
Powermode is set high

Ive done everything people have told me and i cant get more fps, i know rust isnt optmized but cm on.. 75 fps?

And in Battlefield V

GPU% is 66%
CPU% around 70-75%

And im at 80-90 fps


Should i go for 2080TI ? And go back to Intel i7 or i9 ?
 
Solution
As gaming demands increase your system will start to do better due to superior multicore performance and especially playing higher res 1440p resoltions via the RTX 2080. Right now he's winning up front because the i9 9700k has superior single core performance that give's you higher up front FPS. I guarantee your system will have a smoother gaming experience with better 1% lows in fps.

If you click on the memory tab in CPUz it will tell you if it is in Dual or Single Channel mode.
Having the RAM in Slots A2 and B2 Or A1 and B1 would be Dual Channel.
But yes, A2 and B2 are the recommended slots.

Hm i tried to swtich from A2 and B2 to A1 and B1 and because it didnt say DUAL channel like it did yesterday before the install. It showed less DRAM frequenzy 1199,78 MHZ and i switched back to A2 and B2 and it still the same Frequenzy. And it says its not in DUAL MODE.

To be said i did a fresh install of Windows this morning.

Is it showing your full 32 GBs of RAM in the BIOS and in CPUz ?

I got a pair of 3200mhz 16 gb Flarex.

Its was wierd, i put the the RAM speed to 3200mhz in bios, but on the system infromation in bios it only showed ram speed of 2600.

I had to put it on 3200 2 times before it showed in the system information.

So i benched again and it showed the same results.

Then i went back and put it to auto and im back at 1199.7 MHZ (2400mhz)

Yes its showing 16 GB

Did you buy one of these exact kits:
F4-3200C14D-16GFX
or
F4-3200C16D-16GFX

Those are the only 16 GB 3200 FlareX kits stated to be compatible with an Asus ROG Strix B450-F.
https://www.gskill.com/configurator?page=3&cls=1529635169&adSearch2=Capacity§16GB (8GBx2),Multi-Channel_Kit§Dual Channel Kit,Tested_Speed§3200MHz,&manufacturer=1524725352&chipset=1532079044&model=1532079165
If it isn't one of those kits you will probably need to run it at a lower speed, possibly 2666 or 2800 or 2933.

Yes i have the first mentioned.

But it shows the right speed.

It's weird that CPUz doesn't show what channel mode it is in (Dual or Single channel).
Like mine does:

Test it with the Aida64 Cache and Memory Test (on the tools menu) and post the results:
https://www.aida64.com/downloads
That will show us if it is performing like it should be (at 3200 in Dual Channel Mode).


Should i put my bios to normal?

I have it on lvl 3 OC and standar o.c.p.d or whats it called.

I would leave it alone.
Your RAM is performing like it should according to that Aida64 test.

It didnt make such a big difference in Rust, im at 100 fps average.

With peobple With 2060 and 7 3700x performing 25 fps better.

Maybe the game isnt optimized for 2080 Cards?
But im tired of this and going to let that slide.

he also has more gpu usage than me in the game so maybe thats why.
