Discussion getting the same fps after installing a crazy new cpu

[ifiendi]

So I went from a i5-9600k to a i9-12900k and Ive pretty much gotten no performance change whatsoever. I play escape from tarkov which is an insanely cpu reliant game, so I thought upgrading would do the job, but i literally have not noticed any difference in the games performance. I avg around 70-90 fps and was aiming for about 120+, which is why i ended up buying a new cpu, but im unsure if maybe there are some steps i havent taken after installing a new cpu? pc doesnt even rly feel faster, im a bit concerned on whether or not i just wasted a lot of money on a useless upgrade.


specs
msi z690 a pro
rtx 2070 super
i9- 12900k
32gb ram

What resolution?
Did you reinstall Windows after changing motherboard?
What speed is the RAM running at and is it in dual channel mode?

1920x1080. I haven’t installed a new version of windows yet. I’m on windows 11 and I couldn’t find any way to redownload windows 11, i’ll have to look in to it more later. When I get home i’ll also check the ram.

Just reinstalled windows. Boosted fps a little bit (around 10%). Ram is running at 2133MHz. Think there's anything else I could do to boost the cpu to its max?

well get that ram speed up for sure. Is the CPU thermal throttling? 12900k runs extremely hot

Run userbench and post link results page.

As above, what ram speed can they run at?

Nope I have pretty decent temps (30-60C) . Just replaced my aio a few weeks ago. How would I go about increasing my ram speed?

Enable xmp in bios to 3200.

Also, that game has fps issues itself after some update not long ago.

Low FPS on a High End Rig?

Hi! I realize that the game is still in beta so there are bound to be bugs. However, I don't think my PC is getting the fps for this game as much as it should be. It's a brand new Rog Strix GD15K. Here are the specs: Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 22000) (22000.co_release.2...

Yes I know the game is not perfectly optimized. Before purchasing the 12900k I watched some videos with similar specs to mine and this person would get 100fps+ consistently on HIGH graphics. I'm running every single graphic setting on low and Im barely able to break 100+ consistently with better specs then he has now. I don't understand how this could be.

That video is from 2yrs ago, things have changed since then.

Your RAM is running at default speed. You need to enable XMP in the BIOS.

 

[boju]

Yes try set your ram. If not much change then you're going to have to look at game specific tweaks because there's otherwise nothing wrong with your system.

 

[geofelt]

Run the cpu-Z bench test.
Your single thread score should be over 800 for a 12900K
If your score is good, then go to the game forums and look for settings to adjust.

I've set the ram speed to 3200. Is that alright?

Verify xmp speed saved and is running at 3200 in task manager > memory.

Yuh I did and it shows 3200. Retested in the benchmark and got 104% compared to the near 70% I got last time. Im gonna run the cpu-z test that geo mentioned.

https://ibb.co/vHmtXXX Is this bad? Didn't get over 800.

Not bad.
I suspect that in the bios, there is a setting that will allow a full turbo clock when conditions are right.
This will be more effective as a rule that overclocking.

That said, I think your performance issue is not with the cpu, but with some game setting.

Yea, after changing the ram speed I actually ended up hitting 144+fps with frequent drops down to the 110s. I just feel that this is a little underwhelming considering compared to my last cpu, this is a massive leap in quality. I still feel that there are a lot of tweaks I can make like you said to still keep pushing the best performance out of my cpu.

Was searching about possibility of turning off efficiency cores in bios might improve performance if game doesn't like or doesn't support ignoring ecores but found this in relation to forcing game to using physical cores rather than hyperthreading which people have been doing to improve performance. Maybe since your last cpu didn't have HT that might be hurting performance now.

Yes that could be a possibility. Ill try and play around with the settings and see if they end up helping at all.

Regarding the tidbit reading that just now, try disable full screen optimisation too under compatibility for game's exe. If win11 has that feature, not sure, 10 did so i assume 11 would as well.
