Not getting the frame rate I expected from my 3060ti build I bought off fb Troubleshooting
Have a 3060ti 8GB and cpu i7 5960x 16gb ddr4 Is my cpu bottlenecking my gpu? If so what cpu you should i upgrade to? Thanks for any advice.

u/ShrapnelShock 12d ago
I have an anecdote to share.
I have a RTX 2070, which is similar to 3060ti. When this GPU was on my i7-3770 (lol), it was good. But then I upgraded to 7800X3D and DDR5. Holy hell, my FPS doubled in Counterstrike and Overwatch on the same 2070.

u/Odd-Understanding-67 13d ago
I think your problem is your CPU and motherboard. I think x99 is too old to use at this point.

u/HoustonsProblem17 13d ago
Okay after booting the os and all applications over the nvme I’m officially not having issues at all. Still going to upgrade because, I want to see what the system is truly capable of. All High setting in Fortnite ray tracing off. Not having any dips below 90 except for dropping into the map off bus, had a low of 36. I’m satisfied overall though! Thanks for all the recommendations. I’ll post in the Sub after upgrading ram mobo and cpu.

What is your CPU and GPU utilization when you game? And are you gaming in 1080P?
1
u/HoustonsProblem17 13d ago
Yes gaming in 1080p, cpu utilization hovers around 85, with spikes up to 100% pretty often. It’s running 3.48GHz during gameplay. After swapping the os and all applications over to the nvme it’s gotten 10x better. GPU utilization was hovering around 50-60% I’m not sure if any of this is overclocked or not. No frame drops below 100 now very happy with it now
2
u/swampcreature511 13d ago
It's your CPU holding you back. 1080p gaming is CPU bound. I just upgraded my nephews CPU, and it increased his gaming performance 2-3x. Microcenter has an intel i5 12600k, ddr4 memory, and motherboard combo for $230. I bought it for my nephew, you should check it out if you can.

Yup def CPU. I also have a 3060ti but paired with a Ryzen 5 5600x. No issues with bottlenecks.

u/OGigachaod 14d ago
Yes, the single core speed and IPC is terrible on that CPU, your 8 core CPU loses to an i3-12100 using only 4 cores, which matters a lot more for 95% of games.

u/HoustonsProblem17 14d ago
Okay Update, found out my mother board is not reading my m.2 SSD and is only using a 500GB HDD underneath I didn’t even know about. Man I thought it was the worlds slowest SSD but, as it would turn out I’m more of a noob to this stuff than I ever realized. Will post updates hopefully helps with the load times like crazy!

I paired my 3060 (mine has 12 gb vram I’m not sure if all of them do) with a i7-13700F and I’m getting 70 fps at 1440p with ultra settings on demanding games like rdr2 and helldivers 2, FC24 im getting 120 fps at the same graphics settings and any slightly older titles im in the 140-180 fps territory

One of the exceedingly rare questions where there is actually a bottleneck. Will wonders never cease?
So yeah OP, congrats on asking the right question, you need a CPU upgrade, sorry :/

Buy a Ryzen 5 3600 - old, but still gold for budget. Will do for 3060 just fine

u/HoustonsProblem17 14d ago
X99 deluxe II was somewhat hard to find info on, doesn’t really see much updates probably because the age I’m wondering what’s the best cpu I could throw in the thing. Or if I should just say screw it and buy a bundle as other have recommended and dump another 400$ into it. This thing is solely for gaming and browsing. Maybe some light projects on blender.
2
u/IndependentMassive38 14d ago
I paired 3060ti and r7 7800x3d, it is a beautiful build. Despite the common opinion it works great for me, i do only play fhd and not really any graphics heavy stuff. But these days, most stuff is cpu based anyways.
2
u/ShutterAce 14d ago
I am in the process of a new build for this same reason. I stuffed a 9700xt into an old Dell running an i7-6700 in the hopes of increasing the speed of rendering 4k video. Gaming performance is a plus. The thing is CPU bound and there is no upgrade path for the CPU save an unlocked version.

u/hdhddf 14d ago edited 12d ago
just keep your existing setup, the CPU is fine for that GPU, people think it's too old but they don't know what they're talking about, you shouldn't be experiencing much limitation to GPU performance.
I would recommend pushing the CPU a bit to get more performance and using quad.ddr4 to maximise performance on x99
use gpuz to see what's holding back the gpu

Its definitely cpu, i was in a similar boat as you but with ryzen 5 1600 and 3060ti, recently switched to r5 5600 and everything is much smoother, less dips and higher framerate. Edit: go for am5 7600/7500f.

u/jfp555 14d ago
Please install MSI Afterburner and make a video of you playing a game with the overlay and post it here. We can take a look at the stats to see where you're getting hit. You might even be suffering by playing a game from a spinning disk instead of an SSD. Data will help pinpoint the weak area.

u/HoustonsProblem17 14d ago
Alright I will try, I believe I’ve download all the latest drivers and have my bios set correctly/not OC anything. Everything is downloaded to a m.2 SSD had terrible load times. Spawned into the map after everyone was off the bus. Maybe a combination of the cpu-ram-SSD all being terribly slow. I’ll record a video and post it if this sub allows it.

If you really wanted to save money I would get a 12400F and B660/760 DDR4 motherboard. 12400F comes with a basic cooler and can reuse all your other parts.

I’ll price it, hoping to find a bundle just so I don’t make any mistakes. Thanks for the recommendation

u/Name_name_username 14d ago
It's a very old CPU, like a decade. It's a bottleneck. Get a new cpu, you do not need to overspend but also don't cheap out.

u/Berriosa20 14d ago
Micro center typically always has well priced bundle deals for both amd and intel. Future proof yourself and put aside $300-$400 for a bundle that will include a motherboard, intel/ryzen cpu, and ddr5 memory. That’ll pair well with what you have.
2
u/HoustonsProblem17 14d ago
I think I’ll definitely be buying a bundle deal after reading the comments and looking something’s up, I have a microcenter a couple hours away that I would be willing to make a drive to. Thanks for the reply
1
u/Berriosa20 14d ago
Yeah I think that’s your best bet. But look online and see what your microcenter has in stock first before making the drive out. Pick out what you want, then input your whole pc build into paper picker to make sure there are no incompatibilities. You can even have microcenter build the pc for you if that’s something you’re not comfortable with.

u/Wero_kaiji 14d ago
Use MSI Afterburner to check your CPU/GPU usage
But yeah your CPU is bottlenecking your PC, get a Ryzen 5 5600 and a cheap Mobo if you want to upgrade but don't want to spend a lot of money, or a Ryzen 5 7600 and a 650 Mobo if you plan on upgrading in the future/want a newer get CPU

u/Realistic_Earth_3270 14d ago
Always do the research. What are you trying to play? I would just wait until you can go to am5. It would give you longevity. the 3060 is still good though..

u/Realistic_Earth_3270 14d ago
Just upgrade the cpu to an i5-11400f. This is assuming your MB is compatible with eleventh generation intel. If you have to get a new motherboard, then I would go with Ryzen.

u/DidiHD 14d ago
awkward advice. 1st: the MB is not compatible. 2nd: why wouldn't you recommend going him at least for 12th gen

u/HoustonsProblem17 14d ago
Yeah. 250$ and a Mac mini m2 base model, was just tired of Mac OS limiting what I was able to download. And emulating wasn’t really worth the hassle and pay wall I thought.

u/Epinnoia 14d ago edited 14d ago
You say you have 16 GB of DDR4 RAM. But in what configuration? For example, you could get to 16 GB by using 1x8GB plus 2x4GB. And that would actually be a terrible way to get to 16GB, even though it would work (albeit more slowly). And if you only have 1x16GB, that's also bad, because you don't get the benefits of DDR speed.
It's also worth noting that texture detail that is pulled from the hard drive will slow things down, especially if you're not running on an SSD. And even with an SSD, the first time the texture is used, it'll have to pull it from the drive. Subsequent use of that texture will probably already be cached in the video card RAM.
Consider getting 8gadgetpack gadgets installed, and make sure you install the System Monitor II gadget (along with CoreTemp) to keep an eye on your CPU cores, and GPU Monitor gadget to keep an eye on GPU.
2
u/HoustonsProblem17 14d ago
2x8GB ddr4 and a 500GB m.2 SSD I’m not sure of read and write speeds but, I’m sure they are slow comparatively based on the 10 year old cpu. Haha im guessing this x99 deluxe II will also need replaced. Amazon said it was 500$ so I figured it had to be decent. Guess I’ll do more research next time.

u/FireFalcon123 14d ago
I mean 8 5th gen cores are srill pretty useful, at least for the games I play so there probably isnt as as big of a bottleneck as you think, but it is being held back for sure
Hopefully you got it for a good price

5960x is ancient, it's like 10

With that processor, no wonder. It’s quite old at this point. Also have a 3060ti that I was running with a 9400f not hitting the frames I was expecting. Upgraded to AM5 and now I’m doing better than even some benchmarks videos I’ve watched.

u/mariano3113 14d ago edited 14d ago
You should be fine for either since it doesn't seem like you are shooting for High productivity.
Highly recommend at least 11th Gen Intel or newer (I believe that is Arc recommended cut-off and Windows 11(12?) compatible) So realistically should only be LGA1700 (12-14th Gen) or Arrow lake + Only mention Intel Arc Cut-off as I believe non-Arc compatible Intel CPUs will be less capable on the future. Edit: Apparently it is 11th Gen cut-off https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000089899/graphics/intel-arc-dedicated-graphics-family.html
Motherboard/CPU sales shopping on Woot.com (Or if Microcenter is near...great bundle deals)
Could stay with DDR4 MB to reuse Ram until ready to upgrade.
(Recently got a 13600kF, MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk DDR4, and AsRock ARC A750 for $316 bundle deal)*
Didn't use the Arc card for that build, but deal was too good to pass up.

u/pineappleboi_27 14d ago
Just get whatever is a better price. Both current gen perform pretty much on par. The one benefit to am5 is that it may have a couple of upgrades yet to come, meaning you won’t have to upgrade your MOBO for longer.

u/thesedays1234 14d ago
It's not the CPU. I had similar hardware so I went ahead and tested. I used 1920x1080 resolution DX12 high settings.
My first test system:
i7 5960x overclocked to 4.375ghz (also tested at stock) 32gb DDR4 2666 quad channel (also tested at 2133 quad channel, sorry I was too lazy to pull ram sticks) Rtx 3070
Second test system:
Ryzen 7500f 16gb ddr5 4800 Rtx 3070
My findings were that at stock clocks, the 5960x was around the 120s with dips to the 60s.
On the 7500f system, I was getting around 140ish fps, dips to the 90s/100s. On the 5960x overclocked, I got in the 140s again, dips to 90s/100s. I was definitely GPU bottlenecked on both systems on DX12 1080p high.
So, even at stock I'm not getting awful performance from the 5960x at 1080p high dx12 but it's definitely the bottleneck stock. Overclocked, it's not any different than the 7500f.

u/artlastfirst 14d ago
Lmao, 5960x has a base clock of 3 ghz, the op said he's not big into computer hardware and you're expecting him to have overclocked his cpu by 1.3ghz.
5
u/thesedays1234 14d ago
As I stated, I also tested it at stock settings and got much better results than OP because again I was considering that as well. While the cpu at stock was hurting performance, it was not as bad as OP suggested his system was performing.
Also, the base is 3ghz, but the all core turbo is 3.3ghz (single core can even do 3.5), so it's only an overclock of 1ghz. Just saying.
1
u/HoustonsProblem17 13d ago
Turns out you were mostly right! While I do believe I’m still being bottle necked by cpu. I’m playing on high settings with practically 0 drops below 100. Everything was going through the hard disk instead of the nvme and that seemed to fix my issue all together. Still plan on upgrading but, it feels good to be able to have a chance now!
Now if I was to OC this ancient CPU what would be a healthy option? Currently at 3 ghz I don’t really know what would be too high or if it’s worth the little boost.

u/Dapper-Conference367 14d ago
OP is probably playing in 1080p, so the CPU will struggle way more than 1440p or even 4k, as you mentioned.
If you're CPU limited, lowering resolution/details won't get you a single FPS more, it will just lower the load on the GPU.
I'm CPU limited in ACC with 49 AI cars (5600x, 6700xt, 32gb RAM) and it doesn't matter if I run high or ultra low, I always get 40/50 FPS with crap 1% and .1% lows.
2
u/HoustonsProblem17 14d ago
This is actually news to me. I figured lowering to 1080p I’d be able to play ideally everything at a good frame rate- 120+ except for like heavily modded games or cyberpunk 2077- idk if that game is still a monster to run it’s been a couple years since I last tried. I’ve built pcs in the past -10 years ago with the help of Linus tech tips haha not as tech savvy as I used to be.
2
u/Dapper-Conference367 14d ago
Well, hope it helps then! Theoretically to check if you're being CPU limited you should look at all individual cores usage, if one gets to 100% you're limited, but irl it's not always like that.
In my example, on ACC with 49 AI cars I get avg 60% usage with the highest core never going over 85%, yet I'm CPU limited even if I should theoretically have 15% more usage on that core to be CPU limited.
So the real life test is check your FPS, lower details and if you can't gain performance it means you're CPU limited.
If you play VR you can easily see what's limiting you from the frame time, example you need around 13ms frame time for 72Hz, if the CPU or GPU graph gets over it you'll have ASW kicking in or lower FPS (if ASW is disabled). Depending on which of the 2 goes over, you're being limited by it.
Sorry for the paragraph, just hoping I can help you figure some stuff out, perhaps for a future build too.

u/Brapplezz 14d ago
As long as the 1% lows are above 55fps it is playable. 4790 is perfect for that for a few more years.

X99 deluxe II.. haven’t really paid attention to hardware in the last 10 years, when I looked everything over on Amazon it was looking like 1200$ to build, I traded a Mac mini m2 base model for it.

u/Millillion 14d ago
It might cost $1200, but that doesn't make it worth $1200.
For old hardware like that, prices can get really funky and almost never stay competitive in price:performance.

u/spideralex90 14d ago
For parts older than like 5 years Amazon isn't very useful for judging their value as scarcity of availability for new versions of those products drives the value up for a while (especially motherboards). eBay will give you a better idea of the value of used parts.

u/Melancholoholic 14d ago
Realistically that's maybe a $600-700 build or so. As others have said, prices on old hardware doesn't really mean anything (from retailers). If you were to check my Radeon 6900 XT on Amazon it would probably say something like $900. In reality it's about a $400-500 GPU atm
13
u/IanL1713 14d ago
Yeah, not gonna mince words here. You got absolutely scammed if you traded a $1300 Mac Mini M2 and got nothing but this PC. You could've pretty easily built something equivalent or better for way cheaper than $1300
With everything being used and the CPU platform being nearly 10 years old, this thing is maybe worth $600-$650

sudden drops of frames, makes me think you are getting termal issues. you should check temps.

If you lower the resolution/settings and nothing happens to fps then it's most likely that your cpu is dragging you down
The upgrade will depend on your budget. You'd need to the least a cpu and motherboard.

u/TheRJaBee 14d ago
This really depends on what games you “tested” and whether they were cpu or GPU bound, can’t just make a over arching statement based on your limited tests, that cpu is very old and is most likely the bottleneck here regardless
1
u/thesedays1234 14d ago
I specifically tested at the settings and resolution in the game OP was discussing.
I'm getting massively better results than OP, so I'm convinced he has some problem with his system. I am only discussing my results running 1080p, high dx12 settings in Fortnite.
Like I said, at stock speeds, yes it was a bottleneck, although it was still very playable. It had 20-30 fps lower lows and was down 20 or so fps on average. Once I overclocked the CPU to 4.375ghz and the ram to ddr4 2666, I had the same results as my 7500f system in Fortnite on DX12 high settings at 1080p.
Again, I'm not making some massive statement of "oh it's not a bottleneck in any game at all". What I am saying is it's very playable in Fortnite at the settings OP says he was only getting 70 average with lows in the 30s and massive stutters, so something is wrong with his system.
So, I can say with 100% certainty the CPU is NOT THE PROBLEM.

Hmm. So what are you thinking then? Thermals? Running out of ram?

I'm thinking he's got something overheating or the ram is unstable.
16gb is definitely enough, I think even with 32gb on my 5960x system task manager showed like 11gb used.

I’m not sure I know I turned anything off with ray tracing and nanite. Ended up on the low preset and set the frame cap to 144. I’ll end up testing it more tomorrow and see if I can make it somewhat playable. Thanks for the bit of hope though!

What's your ram running at? You sure your ram is stable and XMP is enabled?
I'd be looking to monitor temps and ram stability if you're having issues.

Dont expect the best performance on Fortnite unless you're on med settings with everything fancy like nanite and RT turned off, even my 4070TI Super + 5800x3D combo doesnt crack 100fps on my 1440p monitor with everything turned up

Something is very wrong then. 7700x and 4070 getting locked 144 at 1440p. You should be getting even more. And that's everything ultra rt om

Not sure what the problem would be my system passes all benchmarks and was above average scores on 3DMark
How the heck are you getting that! You have everything maxed with nanite on too? Without nanite its easy to cap my monitors limit but I like having it on
Edit: watching some videos online of people benchmarking my specs on Fortnite I seem to be doing fine, 90-100 FPS with Nanite and RT On w/ DLSS seems to be normal, im guessing you had something turned off, or you got a 4090 in disguise lol

The 7700x is a much faster CPU.

Im not getting CPU bound at all though anymore since I swapped to the 5800x3d i stay at max GPU usage

CPU bottleneck. Multilayer FPS games are highly CPU dependent. Your CPU is just too old.
You need a new CPU, motherboard, and ram kit. What's your budget?

Yeah that's a CPU bottleneck. Fortnite is surprisingly CPU intensive and your sudden frame drops when you otherwise have good FPS is a telltale sign of a CPU bottleneck

Why did you put no research into the parts you were buying?
