[SOLVED] Fps issues with Valorant and other games

[albertlow_]

PC specs:
Ryzen 5 2600
32GB RAM DDR4
RTX 2060

These last few months I have had fps problems with Valorant and some other game like Sekiro. In Valorant I use all the settings in low and I use the resolution 1440x1080 in full screen and if I have the Brave or Chrome open, discord and Valorant open I get 100 fps with drops at 85-90 fps. In Sekiro I had drops to 0 fps every 15 seconds and I don't know why I have these performance problems.
My RTX 2060 is 2 years old, my 32GB RAM is 1 year old aprox and my Ryzen 5 2600 is 3 years old.


I made a test of all hardware and all is ok.
For testing the hardware I used this two test: Userbenchmark and BurnInTest and both said all my hardware is ok.

Any solution?

I had hardware accelerated gpu scheduling enabled . I did a test of average fps having it enabled and disabled and this is the results:

ENABLED: Avg: 129.650 - Min: 115 - Max: 167
DISABLED: Avg: 138.100 - Min: 115 - Max: 170

I made more test about this:

What should I do, keep it enabled or disabled?

i usually keep it enabled, also did you try the other way that's uninstalling all the processor list etc?

Then try to uninstall all the processor on Device Manager, and restart, then reinstall amd chipset driver, select amd ryzen balanced on choose power plan settings, and try to game on again:

I haven't done that yet because I can't right now, I'll be able to do it in a few hours, but yesterday I updated the chipset drivers to the latest version but without uninstalling anything, just installing it. Do I test what you say anyway or does it work by keeping it updated to the latest version since yesterday?

well try to uninstall them all and re install amd chipset driver and set the powerplan to amd ryzen balanced.

I have uninstalled everything and restarted. As soon as I restart I have looked to see if something appeared in the Processors section and there were the same as before, is it normal or should there be nothing after restarting? I have reinstalled the chipset driver to the latest version.

 

[Koekieezz]

yes, it's reinstalling the processor driver. Also set the power plan to amd ryzen balanced or high performance then try to game.

also did you set the nvidia control panel settings same as mine? also try to enable nvidia reflex + boost in the game and enable multithreaded rendering

where did you put the valorant in? ssd? hdd? you didn't mention the storage yet..

this should be a good one. i remembered one of my friend that uses r5 2600 + b450m steel legend achieved almost similiar FPS (170ish max), maybe it's the hardware limit.

All of this with power plan in high performance, should I change it?

AMD Ryzen power plans, not stock windows..

I know, Im using quickCPU to change it.

Hi again, I was talking with a friend who have i5 8400 and gtx 1650 and in Valorant he is getting 180-190 fps average with low settings and 1920x1080 resolution. So is not the hardware limit, probably something is broken or something in my pc.

is your average fps maxxed at 170fps at best? all low?

 

[albertlow_]

my fps most of the time is around 130-150 with peaks of 170 in certain cases and only for 2 seconds. My friend's fps is most of the time 180-200 fps with some drop to 160.

Ok i just got an update from my friend:

i asked him whats his average on all low settings using r5 2600 (2x8gb ddr4 3000mhz + 1070 igame), he said 150 fps. it seems like the game issue on optimizing certain cpus. He said his other friend who uses 5800X got better fps. Sincr ryzen 1000 series and 2000 series is more to multi core compared to single core, than this could be one of the problem, its just the game pretty unoptimized. i used to have 160 fps avg but after recent update i got 130fps avg with drop (most of the time) as low as 85fps which is weird enough since all game doinf just fine.

One last question, do you have any idea why if I have XMP enabled in BIOS my RAM still work at 2100mhz instead of 3000?

My motherboard is this: GA-AB350-Gaming
My RAM is: Corsair Vengaence LPX

some of my friend said that it "stucked" some how, gotta do manuual oc and increasing the voltage as the same as the XMP Profile, give it a try.

I did it manually and it works, now is working at 2933mhz, thank you for helping me, you are god. Does this kill RAM fast? I've always heard that overclocking shortens the life of the pc a lot

nah dont worry about that. it's always been "the worst case possible" which is unlikely to happen, yet you have lifetime warranty.

Perfect, thank you very much man, you saved my pc <3

Hi again, after this, all went good with my PC but now, my RAM is again in 2100 Mhz and in BIOS I have XMP enabled and manually applied the multiplier to get max frequency of my ram.Why is this happening?

Kinda Stuck settings in bios, might want to reflash the bios.

 

[albertlow_]

I downgrade the BIOS version and reinstalled and still doing the same, I dont know what is happening. Sometimes if I put the multiplier to 2400MHz it works but if I put it to get 2900 or 3000 Mhz it doesn't work and it get stucked at 2133Mhz.
