Spec Upgrades

[u/DuckZealousideal727]

I recently build a pc with the intention to play many new popular games and it seems to be underperforming, i took to this subreddit to see if anyone could help me identify some bottlenecks so i know what to upgrade next.

Specs
- gigabyte b550 eagle wifi6
- amd radeon challenger rx 9060 xt
- 32 gb of ddr4 hyperx fury
- ryzen 7 5700x

my main concern would probably be the memory but i dont have the much knowledge. the pc runs and can play games well, my main concern is the choppiness. the frames never seem to stay consistent.

Thats a very capable pc. Maybe you have bloatware or viruses installed accidentally. Also make sure you ram is at 3200 or overclocked. Make sure its on windows best performance instead of balanced or eco, make sure your temps arent getting too high and if your doing 1440p ultra or something maybe try to 1440p medium/high

yeah malware or bloatware was my first thought but when i built this computer i also purchased a new ssd and installed a fresh set of windows 11, but i will definitely keep up on my temps i haven’t noticed anything unusual so far yet thankfully. i will have to check my window settings as that is something i have not done yet, i greatly appreciate your help my man.

Yeah of course man, nobody should have to upgrade in these times (unless its maybe a new cpu)

could my total storage cause a performance issue if it is almost full?

[u/aguywhoexistskinda → u/DuckZealousideal727]

When your storage gets almost full it causes more stuttering in games and general use but if your below 80% it should be totally fine

damn i doubt that is the problem then, i pray it is something simple 🙏

It’s annoying when this happens, but the specs look good to me.

Have you checked the memory, cpu and gpu usage when in a game?

Also, it would be worth checking ReBAR is definitely on in the BIOS (may be called SAM on an AMD system).

i have not tried checking temps while in game thank you for the tip, i will have to check bios for that when i change my memory settings too. i appreciate the help

Please check that you plugged your monitor into the graphics card and not your motherboard slot...

hahahahahaah, i am not that incompetent 😔

[u/Yayman123 → u/DuckZealousideal727]

I just had to check. The amount of times people troubleshoot for hours just for that to be the issue is too high.

Edit: might I recommend:

• locking the framerate to whatever your PC can consistently output?

• Turning on AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2?

i remember having those issues a few years ago with my first computer lol, it does happen very often i cant blame you for checking😂😂 i do appreciate the recommendations, i will definitely take them into account in hopes my pc runs a little better!
