Low FPS on my pc i built yesterday

[ninoverlasevic]

Hello Community!

Yesterday i built my very own first (gaming) pc. I diden't have a big budget so i decided to spend 600$ in total, since this is my first gaming pc and i would upgrade eventually.

My pc has the following parts:

- Processor AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega Graphics, 3500 MHz, 4 core('s), 4 logische processor(s)

- G.Skill 8 GB DDR4-2400 Kit

- ASROCK X470 Master SLI Motherboard


My problem is, when i play a game like Overwatch, i get around 30-40 fps, when i play the game in windowed mode, in 720p, with all the settings down to the lowest they can go.

I have seen a few video's on youtube showcasing the Ryzen 3 2200g, and playing the game in 1080p in medium-low, and getting fps of around 80+....

Is there something i am doing wrong? I hope you guys can help me out, since i don't know allot about building a pc, and all the things I read online are kinda hard to follow....

Anyways, thanks for taking your time and I hope someone can help me out!

Yeah that's not normal performance for that CPU. You have to make sure what you're comparing to though. Some may have OCed their CPU, and some may be using much higher speed RAM, which is very beneficial to Ryzen performance since it's Infinity Fabric is tied to RAM speed. Using at least 3200 speed is best.

Also, make sure you have the latest chipset driver for your MB, which can affect performance.

Next, try using the "High Performance" vs the default "Balanced" setting in the W10 power plan settings. I stick with Balanced for the most part on my 8700k, 1080 system, but I always run the Nvidia Inspector profiles for all my games which has built-in driver level tweaks. If a game is still struggling I'll check the PCGamingWiki for the game and set Power management mode in Nvidia Inspector to "Prefer maximum performance". That way it's the same as using "High Performance" mode in W10, but it goes back to Balanced automatically when I exit the game, so my CPU runs at only 800MHz and 30c when idling. RadeonPro may have a similar option for AMD systems.

The performance differences could also be related to how good your system's ventilation is, ambient room temps, and system temps. Other factors include any conflicting software you may have installed, including malware, and lack of proper maintenance, like too much fragmentation on the HDD the game is installed on, or HDDs that are filled beyond the Windows recommended 85% capacity of ACTUAL space, not advertised space. In fact exceeding recommended file space on the HDD that has the OS installed can even corrupt system files due to non system files leaching into their space, and cause the drive to not defrag properly.

You should defrag regularly, and now and then run an sfc /scannow test to check for missing or corrupt system files. This is how to properly do it. Make sure you run DISM.exe first.
