SO I recently built a new PC with gaming being a strong part of the reason.
I did some research to figure out CPU/GPU compatibility and bottlenecking.
My "budget" PC consists of:
MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000071BOX Desktop Processor
MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT DirectX 12 RX 5700 XT MECH OC 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Patriot Viper 4 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Extreme Performance Memory, Black Sides / Red Top Model PV416G300C6K
Corsair TX750W - Power supply ( internal ) - ATX12V 2.2 - 80 PLUS - AC 90-264 V - 750 Watt - active (CMPSU-750TX)
No SSD or M.2 stick yet.
2: 1tb Seagate 7500rpm hdd ( hard time commiting to a ssd or m.2 before my next paycheck)
monitor is a generic 1920 x1080 res monitor.
Issue I'm facing:
every build i have seen using a 5700xt/ryzen 7 3700 combo are pulling over 100+ average fps on CoD Warzone at highest graphics setting. I'm using CoD as the test game because soo many people playing it.
My average fps stays around 65.
Temp stays below 75 degrees so I dont imagine it is overheating
packet loss is under 3%
Am I expecting too much? Does my setup have some incompatibility issue I don't know about?
Is my build garbage and I'm lucky to get what i'm getting?
I know the ryzen 7 3700x is bottlenecked slightly by the RX5700XT. somewhere around 15-20% I assumed( hopefully not foolishly) that bottle neck because of GPU would affect less than bottleneck because of CPU, initially I was trying for the ryzen 7 2700x, but opted for the 3rd gen model because of current sale.
Any input is appreciated
