[SOLVED] Low FPS in Rainbow Six Siege with Ryzen 2700x and 1070ti

[Zhaithe]

So I recently watched a video of someone running benchmarks on Rainbow Six Siege while using a rig with same specs. He was averaging over 100 FPS on Ultra settings while I average 70~80. If I remember correctly, his hardware was not overclocked at all.

I have a Ryzen 2700x @ 4.0 GHz, Nvidia GTX 1070ti, 16Gb Memory @ 3200MHz.

I've noticed that I get lower fps than other people in other games as well (like Monster Hunter World).

Could anyone help me out with what could be causing lower frame rates as well as some solutions?

Thanks!

What temps are your components running at? That could be the determining factor.

CPU is around or below 70C during a Rainbow Six benchmark and GPU never goes above 75C

Are you running the same resolution as them? Latest drivers? Hows your network connection?

Yep, same resolution, all drivers should be up to date. BIOS should be up to date as well. Usually don't have issues with my network connection unless it's after midnight.

Ok so lets test your system. Do you have 3dMark? Can you run timespy and firestrike and post links to the scores?

Ok thanks numbers seem fine, so that tells me a few things, his numbers may be overclocked. Also its hard to trust youtubers, lots of fake stuff out there.

Another question when you built this system you did a fresh windows 10 install?

Have you disabled Windows 10 Game bar and DVR?

Yep, did a clean install of Windows 10 but I never disabled Game bar and DVR. I'll do that now and run another benchmark.

I know that there are some people that aren't truthful about their specs and results but even then I felt like my rig should have been performing better. A 70~80 fps average in a game like Rainbow Six Siege felt kind of sub-bar.

Maybe but its very likely because of your AA settings. Nvidia has an article about it:

I'd bet your AA settings are higher than what the YT guy has. The card should be around 95fps average using base T-AA.

So I just ran another benchmark and averaged a little over 100 FPS. I'm not sure what exactly fixed my issue because I did a couple of things before running the benchmark. Apparently Ryzen 2nd gen CPUs perform better for single core applications if you're on a balanced power profile (did not know that). After disabling Windows Game Bar, I changed my power management profile from "High Performance" to "Balanced". I'm going to re-enable Windows Game Bar to see figure out what was causing my rig to under-perform.

Thank you for your help!

Edit: Was definitely the power profile. Ran the benchmark with game bar enabled and was getting the same results. Averaging 100~150 FPS on Ultra settings and 120~160 on High settings.

Ah forgot about that, I run a Ryzen 7 1800x, balanced used to not work right but has been fixed for a while now. Glad it worked out.
