What should I fix or upgrade , my games dont run smooth at higher settings
Posted by Straight-Meal-480@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 18 comments
Just got spiderman 2 and was dumbfounded when it had so much lag and stuttering when playing at high settings and nothing crazy just more detail to things and a tiny bit of ray tracing. I even reduced shadows, crowd/traffic size, air particles. Also games like arc raiders, fortnite and expedition 33 needed tweaking to be smooth.
Graphics card- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB
Ram- Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB
CPU- AMD Ryzen 7 5700 up to 4.6 GHz 8 cores 16 logical processors
Motherboard -B550 UD AC-Y1
SSD NVME- 2TB PCI-E Gen4 + 970 EVO 500 GB
Power supply - 600 wats
I also have a Seagate BarraCuda 2TB hard disk drive, Speed: 7200 RPM Im just too scared to install it.

XMP (DOCP) is on? The base 5700 non-X is PCIE gen3 with a reduced L3 cache, so I would upgrade that. Download Hardwareinfo64 look for high temps, post a screen shot of the sensors page.

Xmp is on should i still upgrade the 5700?
xHopalong@reddit
Tech sites are reporting that AMD is re-releasing the 5800X3D in a few months, so I have L3 cache on my mind, so I am a bit biased right now :) I would first, check your temps, and then confirm your GPU is running at gen3 x8.
If there are no temp or PCIE issues I would upgrade the GPU to a PCIE (gen 4 or 5) x16 lane model. And after that the CPU.
This hardware unboxed youtube video is showing the 4060ti is getting hit hard in modern games: (I recommend watching the whole thing, they test 1080p, 1440p, ray tracing on/off)

Will watch thx for the info
DidAnyoneElseJustCum@reddit
It's the tiny bit of ray tracing. Turn it off and then game will run and look good.
Straight-Meal-480@reddit (OP)
Yeah I just cant believe my setup can't even handle the smallest of tracing.
FatalGamer1@reddit
What resolution and graphics preset?
I don’t think that GPU is powerful enough to handle even light ray tracing.
Straight-Meal-480@reddit (OP)
Display resolution is 2560x1440 and graphics preset is custom but i have texture quality medium, level of detail high and only ray traced reflections and geometry at high theres no medium with a range of 2.
FatalGamer1@reddit
It should technically run light 1440p fine. I would try with ray tracing off and lower more settings and see how that goes.
Straight-Meal-480@reddit (OP)
So should upgrading my gpu let me have better graphics? And should i focus on vram?
FatalGamer1@reddit
I’d say yeah probably best you upgrade. You could go for something like the 5060 Ti 16GB.
Straight-Meal-480@reddit (OP)
Will look into it thx!
5k-Native@reddit
Try turning rt off...

You’re probably running out of vRam tbh. I have a 4090 and often see usage peak at 12+gb in all sorts of games.
Fire up a monitoring software and see where your bottleneck is.
Straight-Meal-480@reddit (OP)
Would vram be the issue regarding the other games too? I believe arc raiders and fortnite shouldn't be that taxing with my specs but idk anymore.
Maverick842@reddit
What resolution are you playing at?
Straight-Meal-480@reddit (OP)
Display resolution at 2560 x 1440
Naerven@reddit
I believe this is one of the games that wants more than 8gb of vram with higher settings at 1080p.
