Hello everyone!
Here are my PC's Specs:
Ryzen 7 1700,
GTX1080ti,
Asus Crosshair VI Hero,
16gb of Gskill Trident Z RAM
I recently updated my bios and reset my PC to factory settings because I was looking for a fresh start. When I did so I decided to move my overclock slightly higher than I had it orginally (Under the presumption that further BIOS updates and more stability for Ryzen would help provide a better overclock.
My chip was originally at 3.7Ghz and my RAM was at stock - My chip is now at 3.9GHZ and my RAM(which is rated for 3600Mhz) is at 3200 at 14-14-14-14-28.
Now when I've tested the games I looked at before I started my overclock my FPS has barely changed (and in one instance has got worse!) I apologise for the very small testing pool but I didn't really think it would take as long as it did to get stable and the performance gains would be noticeable everywhere(wont make that mistake again).
In Yakuza 0 my FPS has dropped off by about 3 or 4 frames consistently, sometimes as many as 9.
In Battlefield 1 I've gained about 2 FPS in the same areas.
Fallout 4 has stayed about the same.
FFXV has stayed about the same
Should note that I'm playing all of these games at 4k Ultra (I know it's a luxury in itself but now i'm interested in the lack of difference)
The strange thing is outside of games plenty have other things have improved:
My haven benchmark has gone up 350 points, my firestrike one has gone up by 200 or so and i've got better scores in Real bench and Cine Bench - as well as (and this could be placebo but im almost certain of it) the load times of games actually improving.
Here are a few things I've checked so far:
My temps are fine - CPU never goes over 55 degrees
I've put windows into High Performance Mode
VSync is turned off
Drivers are all upto date.
Now - I'm not sure if perhaps i've just reached the limit of my chip - or maybe my GPU is actually the bottleneck, I'm out of ideas so was hoping that someone could help!
Thanks!
