I currently have a Ryzen 5 2600, RTX 3080, 16 GB of RAM, 650W PSU, and I play at 1080p. I was going to upgrade from 1080p to 1440p after the holidays as well as later down the line buy a better CPU because I am not getting the performance at 1080p that I want in my video games. Obviously, my Ryzen 2600 is holding back my 3080, especially at 1080p but it got me thinking. If a game is not maxing any of my cores to 100%, my GPU is barely being touched, my RAM is being used less than half, and my PSU has room to spare, why am I dropping frames in my games? My CPU is stock, and my GPU is undervolted to 0.925mV. To add onto this, let's say I'm standing still and am getting around 80-85 FPS when one of my cores never goes above 90% usage. Shouldn't the game keep pumping frames until something gets capped?
HWinfo numbers below on Tales of Arise at 1080p maxed out 10 mins of gameplay.
