There are a couple things about my PC that are leading me to believe that it's running much slower than it should for a PC of these specs.
Ryzen 9 3900XT CPU clocked at 4.26ghz
RTX 2080ti GPU
32gb 3600mhz RAM (XMP Enabled)
NVME SSD
B550I AORUS PRO AX Motherboard
I can't quite pinpoint any oddity in particular, but there are a few things that have stuck out to me.
1. Most VR games i can't hit 120fps in, no matter how far I lower the graphics and resolution. Half Life Alyx hovers anywhere between 70 and 90fps. My CPU and GPU are not maxed out.
2. Some games exhibit stuttering that doesn't seem to be shader cache related. The ones that stick out are hitman 3, no mans sky, and resident evil 2 remake (post RE engine update). These games are unplayable if i set their textures to anything but low. Since these games have small file sizes, it's likely an uncompression issue.
3. Emulators tend to run slower on my machine than it does on others with weaker specs. Pokemon Legends Arceus runs at 22fps on yuzu emulator while most other people with these specs hit anywhere from 45 to 60fps
4. Overall lower fps in games than I should be getting. I cannot get Elden ring to run past 55fps, it usually hovers at around 50. My CPU and GPU are still not maxed out.
5. Minecraft tends to hitch and stutter at an over 20 chunk render distance. It's not even a drop in FPS, it's stuttering. Even with performance mods this remains an issue, though sodium mitigates it somewhat. Memory allocation does not fix the issue either.
My temps aren't fantastic but they're serviceable. at idle my GPU runs at 50C and 75-80C at max. My CPU runs at similar temps, but never hits more than 75C. I also tried a new windows install and although the OS became snappier, games ran similarly. Is there something I'm missing? Is my CPU just defective somehow? I'm confused.
