[SOLVED] Fps decrease after cpu upgrade

[Mxares]

Hello, i have some troubles with my pc. Recently i upgraded my pc from an i3 4160 to fx 8320 black edition. i got it from a friend so i didnt pay for it. only bought a motherboard. But problem is i noticed my games are choppy now, despite low cpu and gpu usage. My temps are normal too gpu- 50 while gaming and cpu 35-40 i use water cooling . Here is my benchmark after i installed the cpu https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/39339589 , after that i upgraded my bios, as i saw people suggest, but that only made it worst, benchmark after bios upgrade https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/39384120 . I mostly play dota 2 on ultra and back on my i3 it worked like a charm no problem at all. But now the game feels choppy. At times i get 100 fps but then if i go to the middle lane my fps drops to 60 and it becomes really choppy, for a second my fps drops to 40 , even tho cpu and gpu usage remains 30 to 40 %. I stress tested the cpu and gpu so i know they can go to 100 %. Any advice will be appreciated.
Specs:
MB: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
Gpu gtx 750 ti
Cpu fx 8320 black edition
Psu: 550 Wats
ram 2x4 1333 mhz
ps. it says different about my ram on the benchmark but i use 2x4.

With this hardware swap, did you do a fresh OS install?

 

[AlexTheFern]

your gpu usage should be at 100%...

Yes i did a clean install 2 times

The game is not that demanding. I dont know.

What games are you playing? That AMD is a dog when it comes to single core performance.

Edit - besides DOTA 2

I don’t even think its OS or drivers. I think it’s your ram that is the issue personally

What about the ram is the problem? Is it the speed? Because when playing the game its usage is 5.7 gb

Are you using a single stick?

personally i’d look at the best ram your motherboard can run and get 2x8gb

Im using 2x4 1333hz,

First of all the Intel CPU crunches numbers faster than the AMD, second, your RAM speed is very low and that effects AMD more than Intel.

I think its Ram speed. the speed is very low i think u should have atleast 1600Mhz.

Thanks, i shall try with 1600 then im just curious as somone said ram speeds affects amd more then intel, but does it affect it so much that it starts ti feel chopy

Thanks, do you think 1600 mhz is enough for now?

If you cannot afford an upgrade and 1600MHz is the most you can get or use it will have to do even if it is not fast enough. Some old motherboards could use 1866MHz but don't know if you can find the RAM even if your motherboard and CPU can use it.

Yeah i cant find ddr3 now, plus im not sure it is the RAM that is causing the problems

Why do you not think it’s the ram? You have a slow single core cpu and low amount of extremely low ram.

Because you said in your original post that you did not have this problem with Intel stating, "... my games are choppy now, despite low cpu and gpu usage." indicating that you did not have this problem with the Intel CPU. If that is the case I would put the Intel CPU & motherboard back in your computer.

Yeah on i3 it worked fine, i might do that, just trying to find a solution if i dont find one, im just gonna put everything back

I had the same ram with my i3 setup it worked fine, but i guess the fx 8320 is a little more demanding

The FX 8320 is not more demanding, it is simply slower than the Intel and AMD's CPU was much more affected by slower RAM than Intel. Intel's ring bus did a great job for many years.
