uh it seems my CPU is bottlenecking the GPU. Shit. If it goes like that I'll be able to put together a second PC.
Ryzen 5 2600
16GB ddr4 @3200
RX6800
3440x1440p
I use high preset with SSR bumped up to ultra. I can get anything between 30 fps and 70 fps. Anything above 45-50 feels nice smooth thanks to the freesync.
But here is the curious thing:
The biggest frame drops, and I mean those which I can feel, happen when GPU is far from 100%. It can be even 30fps and GPU at 60%. Usually they happen when there is a big crowd. I just got out of my apartment, so I didn't see a lot, but it starts to look consistent. I got massive frame drop (55-60 -> 28 for a sec, then 30-40) when exiting the building to that square, and had around 40 fps in lizzies bar where there also are a lot of people.
Am I right to assume it is actually the CPU not up to the task? Could even be that I would be able to increase the settings with a better CPU? Even if not and it would just give me more stable FPS, this is kind of surprising for me tbh.
IDKFA
as promissed - maybe that RX6800 is not that bad.
