Hey.
Can someone please help me get rid of most of the fps lag?


I have a beasty pc but get low fps and fps spikes in different games.
All the games are stored in ssd (Steam have own ssd, Blizzard games on own ssd..)

Wow I have around 30-50 on middle settings (start to lagg when in crowded places) Raid boss battles around 7-20...
CS Go I have fps spikes. I've seen that it drops like 50-60fps when it freezes. I have around 225-270 fps on low settings.
Hunt: Showdown I have 50-60 on low settings and the textures bugs out like crazy.

For some reason it works perfectly on BF1, Destiny 2, Dishonored 2 on ultra settings.

(Using Shadowplay to record the last 3min if something happens. I know that it lowers the fps but it shouldn't be a problem for the Xp ??)

Specs:
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X
Asus ROG Zenith Extreme X399
Nvidia Geforce GTX Titan Xp 12GB
G.skill Trident Z RGB 32gb 3600Mhz
120GB Team L3 SSD (Blizzard)
240GB HyperX SSD (OS)
500GB Samsung Evo SSD (Steam)

I've tweeked the Advance System Preformance tab to the maximum preformance without windows looking like shit.
Changed the power settings and Nvidia 3d settings.

Downloaded the lasted graphic drives and recently did a clean install of windows and some of the games I play to test.

CPUs with a massive amount of cores generally are slow for gaming, especially at stock speed. The more cores you add, the lower the clock speed has to be due to heat management. Besides that, the 1950X is a very complex CPU which basically has 4 quad core dies, all interconnected by Infinity Fabric. While you DID equip yourself with high speed RAM to account for the Infinity Fabric being tied to RAM speed, you need to make sure you are running the RAM in XMP mode, or it will not run at it's rated speed. Otherwise it could be running quite a bit lower speed.

Also, there are many ways the 1950X can be set up for gaming, even beyond the recommended Game Mode. Game Mode basically cuts the thread count in half, because many games will not...

Also, there are many ways the 1950X can be set up for gaming, even beyond the recommended Game Mode. Game Mode basically cuts the thread count in half, because many games will not process 32 threads. It also has to do with the Windows Creator updates, and limitations in Windows.

Tom's has a thorough article on it, showing many bench results in various settings configurations. I highly suggest you read through it and try their recommended settings. Honestly, I'm not at all surprised you're getting hit and miss results with a CPU like that, especially if you've not tweaked the RAM and CPU settings at all. Note Tom's recommends bumping the base CPU speed up from 3.4 to 3.9 GHz as well, though it's advised to have a decent aftermarket CPU cooler first.

Lastly, I advise not setting Windows to High Performance power plan. That will just cause lots of excess heat and wear when you're not gaming. Instead download the latest Nvidia Inspector, and set "Power management mode" in EACH game profile to "Prefer maximum performance". That will enable High Performance power plan while in the game, then revert back to Balanced plan when you exit the game. Note you need to do this for EACH game profile, NOT in Global settings, which would make it run at max speed all the time, rather than just while gaming.

Sorry for the late respond. Managed to freeze the Bios update and complete mess it up without flashing an old bios update for backup if something went wrong.

On wow i play with 3840x1080 with graphic setting 7.
On other games where i want to record with shadowplay i use 2560x1080 and 1920x1080.


Read the article and it explained alot.
I changed the Bios setting so it would combine both creator and game mode to some extent.
Enabled SMT, Numa, XMP mode and managed to overclock the CPU speed to 4Ghz so it still uses 16/32.
It did improve the performance ingame to some extent.


Still have some stutters and fps drops in CsGo but not like before.
Haven't tested much so cant exactly say if its best for my use yet but il probably tweek more on it later when i find more info on it--

One more thing.
The LED display on the motherboard says that the temperature are 30-42*C and speccy and other programs say 47-55*C. I know its hard to find a program that can display the exactly temperature on the CPU but what should i follow?
