Mynameaintneman Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Recently moved out of state temporarily so I brought many of my PC parts with me and built a new PC here.The only difference between the old PC and new one is I left behind my i5-7600k and Asus z270E mobo and bought a Ryzen 5 1400 and Gigabyte GA-AB350N mobo My graphics card is a EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC2I have 16 GB of RamAll drivers are updated The old PC ran Skyrim Remastered with 200+ mods at 1440p in ultra above 60 fps, and this PC which only has those two parts changed, runs everything the same at less than 30 fps in 1080p...Literally bewildered as to why.. is the Ryzen bottlenecking me? Is there something I am missing? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iXenite Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) In games that will be pushing FPS higher than 60, that CPU is bottlenecking you very hard. What is likely pushing your frames down in Skyrim is Ryzen's low IPC in comparison to Intel chips. I don't think it's enough to push it that hard, and there is no meaningful bottneleck in this scenario since you only need 60fps. Regardless, you should have stuck with your i5. Try overclocking the CPU and see if that makes a difference. I'll link a video on the bottleneck.

Dragonborn2020 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 What is probably is happening is because you are using a EVGA GTX 1080Ti, a your only using a Low quality CPU, Well you want to know the bad news first or the good, the bad news you would need to replace your risen i5, and up grade to a i9 7520X thread ripper, to benefit the compatibility relationship between the communication between 1080Ti gpu and cpu to reduce the bottle necking, i had to do that when my MSI gtx 1080Ti gaming x gpu came i had to get rid of my i7 motherboard and cpu watercooler to upgrade to a MSI X299 LGA2066 motherboard so i can run 2 way SLI MSI gtx 1080Ti gaming x gpu, and use a intel core i9 7520X 12 core CPU, and able to run also 8 Corsair Dominator Platinum 8x16GB 128GB of DDR4 4000MHz Rams, the good news is you hav purchased a very beutiful Gpu. I think Skyrim should enable core numbers 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 cores to improve game running capability to run game better as Skyrim is a huge game.

TheGreatFalro Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Why would you replace your i5 7600K with a Ryzen 5 1400? That is a strict downgrade in all ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mynameaintneman Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Why would you replace your i5 7600K with a Ryzen 5 1400? That is a strict downgrade in all ways.I didn't replace it, I still have it at my house. I just didn't want to pull it out of the PC and take it with me. Probably a bad move according to what everyone is saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
