i had my xmp profile unchecked and i lost about 80-90fps in game. ram speed was 1066 instad of 1500. it does make a big dif. But since you try to figure out what is going on, go step by step. Game check, drivers clean install, software BS like power options in windows, disable other background programs of yours, download afterburner to check gpu and cpu usage.

I think that you should just buy a 4TB SSD and an RTX 3090. Supplement with 64 gb of DDR5 RAM and get a 17-inch CRT monitor.
Thank you JumpyWizard and JokerCell about the xmp thing.
i check the xmp setting in bios and now my ram is a little bit faster now.
i dont know how much it effect fps but i will never aware it by myself.
Have a nice day.
If you have a slot I’d highly recommend getting another 8GB RAM stick. It’s pretty cheap and I upgraded from 8 to 16 and the difference was huge. I only have a 1060 NVIDIA as well.
Yes, your ram is too slow for that CPU. Ryzen, specially the first gen, benefits greatly from ram speed, 2133Mhz (effective) is very low. If that is in fact your ram limit, that’s gonna be a limiting factor in all CPU bound performance scenarios.
Ryzen CPUs are a tad different. They effectively use ram speed for a core to core communication unlike the DDR3 CPUs.
DDR is double data rate. the advertised speed of such ram would be 2x what he said, or 2133MHz, which is the stock DDR4 speeds.
Never seen anyone advertise speed like this, 2x normally stands for 2 sticks of ram
It’s what DDR means. OP was reporting the clock speed of the RAM, which is 1066Mhz. DDR will run at double that, at 2133MHz. I’m not saying they use “2x” in the advertising, I’m saying they advertise the 2x number as the speed when selling it.
There’s a chart below that shows DDR-2133 and you can see the corresponding clock rate of 1066.
If your pc have proper cooling system and all temps are good to go. Then:
Reduce Buffering ON, can reduce the input lag, so your gear can handle just fine, leave that on. Because doesn’t matter if you have 100 or 300 fps if your input lag it’s bad, better a constant framerate than suffer from jitters. That can generate more heat on CPU and GPU
Before target the memory, you got 8gb or 16gb? If you have 8gb can be that because of disk issues and other stuff opened at same time.
Check your disk and your network:
You have a SSD which are shared with operating system right? That means that sometimes other stuff can mess with some data got from the disk meaning more time to actually access the data. Sure SSD have good overall performance, but sometimes they can perform similar or way worse than default HD. If your SSD it’s a budget one he can be the issue. Try to use more than one disk on pc, reserving that disk to your game to make sure that it’s not the bottleneck(can be a mechanical drive). Blizzard app sometimes can get resource hungry, also windows 10 updates a lot.
About network, if you have some latency issues or IND issues, can actually affect your framerate. That happened to me on overwatch in the past, diablo3(with latency above 300ms) and heroes of the storm(some data from other players and uploading my data) when my ISP provided a poor service.
I Play with fx-8350 + gtx1080 + 16gb ram on DDR 3 1866mhz and I can play just fine fixed on 100 with ultra settings(with little tweaks on shadows - low). If I put everything on low I can get around 180-240fps, If a tweak a bit can reach 260-280.
I have 2 ssd, one for the OS and programs and one for games and most of my issues vanished. I only have problems with old games with poor cpu utilization(fx-8350 have poor single thread performance).
