PC underperformes and games stutter !!!

[IneedanewPC]

CPU: Ryzen R3 1200 no OC
GPU: GTX 1050 2gb
RAM: 8gb DDR4 2666Mhz
SSD - Samsung 750 evo 250gb
HDD- Hitachi 250gb
PSU: XFX 550w (had problems with it before - the PC randomly turned off and wouldnt want to turn on, got it replaced)
I'm playing TF2 and CS:GO and im getting low low fps(under 100) along with very noticeable stuttering which is very frustrating. The system is less than 6 months old the gpu and cpu never go over 55-60C. Any suggestions how i can fix this? Thank you in advance!

Is that 8 GB one or two sticks? Because with the Ryzen you need 2 sticks to enable dual channel To get maximum performance from that CPU

I recommend a kit of 2x8GB sticks sold as a a kit. If you’re a gamer you need a minimum of 16 gigs of RAM anyway

It is just one 8gb stick.

Yeah you see you’re going to need 2 to make dual channel work for you and get you the higher frame rate you desire. Maybe sell your one stick and buy two more in a kit. Ddr4 3000 is really great

The bigger problem for me is the stuttering, though. Plus the system isn't very powerful so idoubt the extra RAM would be of much use.

And you obviously don’t know about the Rison and dual channel memory which you don’t have because you only have one stick and it looks like you’re not interested in finding out what that means In terms of performance so good luck

I actually do know about ryzen and i hava looked at performance tests and while dual channel is certainly better its not that big of a difference and i'm pretty sure that the stuttering is not caused by the single channel memory.

Makes a huge difference in CPu bound games. So. I don’t know what you’ve been reading but it isn’t these boards

Dual channel ram is needed.the single stick is most certainly a huge issue and likely cause of stuttering
