Question RTX 2070 underperforming no bottleneck

[NightZilla]

Hello fellow users,



I came across a problem with my newly built pc. I upgraded from a i5 4690k to a ryzen 5 2600 and yes I know the i5 4690k will bottleneck my gpu. I just didn’t know that during that time. When I play fortnite creative mode (basically a game where you can make anything thing you want in your fortnite island. It also gives you a lot of fps) I get over 400 fps, but when I go into the battle Royale game mode I get around 160-300 max but when it comes to build fights and end games it can get really laggy (I’m a fortnite pro player so when I say end game I mean around 40 people in a tiny circle). Anyways, I get around 90 fps and sometimes even 60 using around 23% of my gpu endgame. Keep in mind that I play on all LOW/OFF settings. It can be really aggravating when I’m trying to eliminate other players. And also no I am not bottlenecking, I am using around 30% cpu usage while my gpu is around 50%.



Here are my specs:

Rtx 2070 gaming z

Ryzen 5 2600 (3.9 ghz)

16 ddr4 ram 2400mghz

B450 tomahawk motherboard

240 ssd (which had fortnite downloaded in)

600 watt psu

1 tb hard drive





Really hope you guys can help me! If you have any solutions or suggestions please reply to this thread.

Thanks!

What PSU do you have?

Also 2400mhz is pretty slow for Ryzen as the difference between 2400 & 3200mhz could be as much as 20 FPS and also have more stable FPS.

Second the above.
Could try overclocking ram to 2666 or further.

I currently have a 600 watt power supply. And I think 2400 mghz is still fast though.

I will try but it’s still weird that I get 43-50% you usage in endgame and like 23% endgame where I need the fps the most.

We need to know the exact model, if it's a low quality unit then it's not going to be able to power the system properly and could cause performance issues or even ruin that 2070. As for the memory even if you think it's fast enough it's not what's recommended to perform well with Ryzen. If it's a single 16gb stick then that's even worse as it would perform better in dual channel. Overclocking both the CPU and memory would help with the FPS dips however you want to check your PSU first before doing so.
