Question Why is my FPS so low?

[Jeroen18_ps]

Hello everyone, im new here but got a important question, i have build my own pc lately, but my fps while gaming is incredibly low, i have a AMD ryzen 7 1700 CPU, a GTX 1060 6gb, and 8 gigs of ram. Im using two minitors, but that shoudnt be a problem since my friend has two as well with worse stats, and is gaming on 150 fps, Any help please?

Did you install the AMD chipset drivers?

Also, the Nvidia drivers?

Is Windows fully up to date?

did you use XMP profile in bios? is your ram 3200mhz, ryzen loves high mhz

Since your from Holland, I will be continuing this reply in Dutch:

Bij welke spellen krijg je een lage fps en op welke graphic settings speel je die spellen?

 

[Jeroen18_ps]

i've downloaded all the latest drivers, without succes, the games my pc is struggeling with are games like: Gta 5, Fallout 4 and Resident evil. I'm playing on the highest settings, since they are recomended. My RAm is indeed 3200Mhz, and i'm not using a XMP profile, and to be honest, i've got no idea what that even is... 🙁

Thank you guys for helping me

Update: I tried XMP, it seemed to work, bit then my pc wouldnt boot, not even in the bios, so i had ti reset my motherboard to restart my pc..., note that i dont know if dual and single channel has something to do with it

Hey, I'm having the same problem as you, I own a 1080Ti and Ryzen 1800x and get about 65 fps in GTA 5. You said that XMP seemed to work but you also said you couldn't boot your PC. So how do you know it worked? I've tried XMP in the past and couldn't boot either.

So you manually inputted all same exact settings? But just had XMP off?

i went to XMP settings, chose profile one that was on 3200mhz, and hit save and restart, afterthat my screen went black, and stayed that way until i had reset my motherboard to dicart the changes made to the XMP settings...

Try setting to a slower speed. Try 2400 first.

this worked, my memory speed is now on 2400Mhz, i did this by setting my ramvoltage to auto, but is there any way i can get this up to 3200Mhz??,
thanks for the help man

nvm according to CPUz only 1396,7 Mhz is being used...

 

[COLGeek]

Try increasing your speed settings until no longer stable and then lower a notch to the last stable setting (via XMP settings). Just because rated for 3200, you may not achieve that speed in your particular system.

 

[COLGeek]

With DDR type memory, you double the speed reported to get the actual speed being run. Also, look at the SPD tab for additional info.

Yeah I managed to mine up to 2667. And it's rated for 3200. Also. My framerate did improve but not dramatically. It's still fairly low for the card I have.

Are you using a single stick of RAM? That'll effect performance.

i am using 2 sticks of 4Gb Ram, that makes it 8 Gb, but its in single chanel, i dont know if that is right, and i also dont know what dual chanel is......

That's an issue. If your motherboard has 4 slots you need to have RAM installed in the 2nd and last from CPU. Then enable XMP/D.O.C.P in BIOS.

If they're not listed on your motherboards QVL they may not work above that speed.
