and this is the 3080

#

Setup:
R7 3800x
32 gb ram 3200mhz 4x8gb ram
2 tb samsung 980 pro
rtx 3080 / rtx 3060 ti

What resolution are you playing at?

#

See how the GPU usage is super low for both? That's because it's not being pushed very hard. There's something else in the system that's holding it back

#

In other words, something else, probably the CPU, is bottlenecking the GPU

#

If you're in 1080p, this is expected

solemn orchid
#

your CPU might be causing a bottleneck

#

like

#

it doesnt let your gpu use its full potential

glacial jasper
#

Low-poly games like valorant will likely never see the GPU at full potential, unless at higher resolutions and graphics settings

solemn orchid
#

what is your CPU?

#

oh i see

glacial jasper
#

3800X is a good CPU but it's not gonna keep up with how many frames the GPU is pumping out

solemn orchid
#

so the problem might not be the CPU

#

try seeing if you updated the drivers

glacial jasper
#

If you put the per-core CPU usage on that overlay, I bet cash money a few of the cores are pinned at 100%

solemn orchid

#

That is a loaded question

  1. There will always be a bottleneck of some kind. Otherwise it'd be a computer with unlimited power
  2. Depends on the game, resolution, and graphics settings
solemn orchid
#

oh

#

so

#

basically

#

would they work fine together?

glacial jasper
#

Yeah probably

solemn orchid
#

k, ty

Have you tried to update the GPU drivers?

late gazelle
#

games like Valorant and CSGO are cpu bound games

#

unless 200+ fps isnt enough for you, new CPU it is

#

or try to overclock

@grizzled geyser

#

Do you only have this problem at valorant?

#

Try something like cod warzone

grizzled geyser
#

I just play valorant and cp2077 or a bit vr

solemn orchid
#

And you only see this problem at valorant?

grizzled geyser
#

1080p

solemn orchid
#

Oh

#

So it's right

#

Isn't it?

grizzled geyser
#

sry I rly dont get what you mean

dapper sierra
#

Games like valorant and cs are definitely CPU bound. If you are wanting the most frames id recommend going with a newer gen processor.

#

Beat me to it lol

late gazelle
#

and youre gonna buy a new gpu? again?

grizzled geyser
#

to be precise Im thinking bout the 5800x3d

grizzled geyser

#

If you dont want to change the motherboard, instead going with X3D, would just to R7 non x3D or 5900

grizzled geyser
#

according to him the 5800x3d is the best cpu in am4 series for gaming

#

and can hold up with the never cpus in terms of gaming

hollow crater
#

yes

#

it is indeed true

glacial jasper
#

I really don’t think you need to you need to upgrade your CPU anytime soon

#

Like yes technically you’ll get higher FPS but the cost-benefit ratio isn’t quite there

hollow crater
#

Especially imo if you’re already saturating your refresh rate

grizzled geyser
#

Im using a 240 hz asus monitor and its just sad I cant run my games that fast

solemn orchid
#

Can you send a photo of what appeared?

grizzled geyser
solemn orchid
#

Oh

silent talon
grizzled geyser
#

you mean am4 ?

silent talon
#

No I mean am5

grizzled geyser
silent talon
grizzled geyser
#

but I m not really doing cpu bound stuff other than gaming anyway

#

and if the 5800x3d can hold up in gaming I ll go for it

silent talon
hollow crater
#

I would suggest microcenter for that, but it’s a US thing

silent talon
#

I hear Newegg had a 13700k,a mobo,and ddr5 ram for 600 usd

hollow crater
#

Depends on which motherboard and ram imo
