Hey all,

I am writing this thread today to find why my rtx 3070 is running like dogshit.

I have put my speccy down below, so any help as to why and whether or not i have to upgrade specific parts is appreciated.

I see people getting 200 fps on BFV with a 3070 and a Ryzen 5 5600x when I can get barely 90-100 with nothing happening and 50-60 on 1080p on low when all hell breaks lose.

I would appreciate any help you guys can give me because I've been googling stuff for weeks with no help whatsoever.

thanks!

Solution
If you want to overclock a good Z490 or Z590 motherboard. If you care less about overclocking the new B560 Tomhawk Board is 180 at MicroCenter. The 10850k is 349. Be 529+ tax. Use your RAM you got.

Then just sell your CPU/MB you have.

Be sure to have a good air cooler I like the fUMA 2.
Is your RAM the same speed? Are you using the same driver? Both of these could easily explain that difference.
i have ddr4 3200 mhz ram. I just updated my graphics drivers and windows to see if that made the difference, which it didn't. I will double check to see if xmp is on, even though I am pretty sure it is because its the first thing I do when i reset/ Upgrade parts.

EDIT: yes XMP is on
