Question From 1050TI to 3060RTX [Same FPS]

[carevitch]

I recenty upgraded from a 1050TI to a 3060RTX 12GB OC series. However i feel 0 diffrence in fps and i might even worse. I am comparing these cards in Dota 2 on ultra settings. Dont tell me that the CPU bottlenecks the GPU, it is impossible. And yes, I have used DDU to remove the old drivers.

Benchmark Report

Intel Core i5-12600KF
32GB HyperX Fury 2400mHz
MSI MAG A650BN
MSI PRO B760M-P DDR4
MSI Nvidia GeForce 3060RTX

Did you enable XMP?

It was showing the RAM at 3200 in one of the 3dmark tests. It was the first thing I checked

From looking around DOTA seems to have a lot of similar issues with decent hardware putting our inconsistent fps. Seems to just be one of those games.

I feel that some other games need to be checked to understand if the hardware is performing in line with what is expected.

I have just looked up that motherboard and it is very basic with no heatsinks for a limited VRM. What case are you using and what cpu cooler?

Have you tried using a program like HWINFO to see what the VRM temps are like during load?

You can take a look here, HWINFO during 3D mark test.


I played Helldivers 2 recently and had an average of 60 FPS on native scale and ultra settings in FHD, which might be normal. After enabling Turbo Boost in the BIOS, I get around 180 FPS in DOTA, which is also comfortable for me.

Cooler Master Hyper 212

I built this PC by myself, guided by YouTube videos, and I probably messed something up. So far, I’ve achieved the FPS I was looking for, but it seems the performance could be higher. I just need to change something. Could you please tell me what could be improved in this PC?

See what you get by disabling efficiency cores in bios so there's no chance a game would use those instead of only performance cores.

If I remember correctly you have a 165hz monitor and so the maximum framerate you want to be going for is 165fps. Anything above that is wasted.

From looking at the HWinfo details then the VRM seems to be ok temperature wise which was my concern.

Helldivers 2 is also quite a cpu intensive game but getting 60fps with your setup seems fine and in line with what I would expect.

I feel that your system is running as it should be - the newer RAM will help in gaming. How much will depend on game to game.

In terms of what to do with your system is just try and enjoy it. Your 3060 is probably the next upgrade although at 1080p it will be fine as long as you manage settings.

So yeah, it seems we have found a 'resolution' for that. Thank you all.
But still, what kind of games are GPU-intensive? Just curious to try some.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is pretty good fun. 1050ti wouldn't run that game properly.

 

[MEMOFLEX]

A lot of AAA titles are GPU intensive it's just that some of them require a better cpu as well to get the most out of them as well.

Games like Helldivers 2, Hogwarts Legacy and Space Marine 2 are games that also require a stronger cpu to get the most out of them. If Ray Tracing is used then this will also increase the cpu requirements as there is additional work for the cpu to do.

By increasing the graphical fidelity you can out more load onto the gpu and again Ray Tracing really puts a significant load onto the GPU. Whether this is worth it depends on the implementation but Cyberpunk 2077 is a good example. This will bring a lot of GPUs to their knees though as even some of the top cards require assistance from upscalers like DLSS or FSR to hit playable frame rates.

At 1080p with a 3060 you should be able to play any game really but just find the settings that give you the best experience - balanced between fidelity and framerate. Hitting that 60fps mark is a minimum for me really in single player games - online shooters I prefer 120+

That 3060 is an ok GPU, but not for high refresh rates, with high/ultra details.

My game recommendations are 40k-based so Space Marine 2, Chaosgate, and Rogue Trader.
