It's not a small bottleneckYes using Identical benchmark settings, both stock cards (identical cards!) and both stock identical CPUs, only difference is that he has 8gb of RAM which wouldn't affect this benchmark. I will get him to check what his BIOS is in CPU-Z?
Hi there, thanks for your Input. Yes i realize that is a potential small bottleneck, but i doubt it would be very large and still be a noticable improvement. The issue is that when comparing to my friend i know that there is something not right. 134FPS vs my 105FPS. yes I almost got a 5600x but then decided to wait until Ryzen 7000 series
The 2700x is not going to give you high FPS gaming in modern engines, period
It varies per game engine of course - but when you're in a game that is CPU limited, you really do have trouble feeding the GPU
Heres a 3080 with various CPU's at 720P, from TPU's 12900KS review
It doesnt matter if you have a 3090 or a 2070 here, a 3900x cannot provide above 120FPS in that game engine (with those settings) - where other CPU's can
A 2000 series CPU will be slower again - no matter what GPU it's paired with
Heres from the 5600x review (it's older) - but shows more of the ryzen CPU generations. This ones with a 2080ti (You'll notice that after the 5600x, the 2080ti becomes the limit here even at 720p)
Notice the that a 2700x gains a good 30FPS to a 3700x, yet the 5600x is 50FPS up on it?
It matters.
As to how to improve the gaming performance of ryzen CPU's, it's limited but simple: Don't do all core overclocks - do stock with PBO on. Run four ranks of memory (2x dual rank sticks or 4x single rank sticks) at 3200-3600Mhz (depending on generation) at the lowest timings you can.
@JoeDaPandaNZ whats your actual RAM setup? 16GB is the size, but says nothing about performance. That could be a single rank 16GB stick at 2133, four 4GB sticks at 4GHz or anything in between - all of which affect CPU and gaming performance
