hey guys, so i built my own rig a few months ago but lately i am getting some lag spikes after a few hours of gaming. My fps always show high however def getting spikes.
Here is a list of my components, i have been using asus tweak to optimize and i am going to try ryzen master when i get home but maybe those of you smarter than i am can point out any flaws as well. thanks guys

Asus rog strix B350-F gaming motherboard
Asus Geforce GTX 1050Ti 4gb graphics card
Samsung 860 evo SSD
Toshiba X300 4TB hard drive - wow not on here
Corsair 550w power supply
Ryzen5 1600 cpu
corsair vengeance ram (24gb)
HP 25" LED gaming monitor with DP
ATT fiber gig internet hardwired
in game i usually show 100-200 fps but again after time it gets laggy… maybe the cpu?
thanks guys
24gb? That’s a weird configuration.
Are you in single channel mode then?

so i had 8 and i purchased 16 more… would that throw something off? sorry for the noob question… i can always by 8 more…
I’m not sure it would cause a loss of performance over time played, but you definitely want dual channel memory configuration.
Needs to be populated in the correct slots same size/speed/timing.
Think you can do 4/8/4/8

Check your CPU temps during the time you’re getting spikes.

Change your card to nvidia 1070 or 1060.rest of your configuration is fine .

If you can find either of them for a decent price. Lot of places 1070s are going for 400+ and they are NOT worth that.
and 580s are better then 1060s

The wow game is optimised for nvidia graphics card so 1060 or 1070 will perform miles better then amd cards.even the bfa 8.1 graphics card optimisations only came for nvidia cards
Looking at a Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ RX 580 8GB GDDR5 now… thanks bro
At this level? It won’t matter, the 580 will be cheaper and like I said, if you can get 1070, sure, but don’t over pay for one. They’re not worth the price people are charging now.
And people play more then WoW usually. If you absolutely HAVE to have nvidia, wait for the 1160.
New World of Warcraft Optimizations Send DirectX 12 Performance Soaring
For a 14-year-old game, World of Warcraft has continued to evolve and grow at a surprising rate. Earlier this year, the game added DirectX 12 support as part of the run-up to the launch of its current expansion, Battle for Azeroth. We [benchmarked the addition at the time but found the change to be of minimal value on both AMD and Nvidia hardware. Nvidia GPUs performed sharply better in DirectX 11 mode (which isn’t surprising) but even AMD cards were hitting higher minimum frame rates in that API as well
There are now four additional flags for multi-threaded CPU optimizations that users on the PTR (Public Test Realm) can set and experiment with, including Apple users (Metal support, apparently, is also included). WoWhead [took the game out]for some testing in Boralus, the new capital city of the expansion for the Alliance, and saw some interesting results. The test itself was primitive — standing only, with DX11, DX12 (standard) and DX12 (with new optimizations enabled at the same time).

The thing is he is facing problems .what if his performance goes worse after buying amd card .will you be willing to buy him a replacement?
It won’t be worse, a 1050ti is a garbage card. And that only talks about nvidia being better at dx11 btw. You need dx12 now for the multicore optimizations.
Oh… and my vega 64 and my wife’s 1080 perform equally in wow.
At the same time though… i don’t think his graphics card is the issue… it would lag from the start.
There’s something else going on, either in heat or in background apps.

I can’t 100% say this is the issue buy I experienced weird problems when I ran 24GB of ram in a dual channel motherboard with 3x 8GB sticks.
Girlfriend and I already had 16GB of RAM in our PCs so I went out and bought another 16GB kit to make it 24GB total. We both experienced way more crashes and performance issues after doing this.
I went ahead and took out those 2x 8GB sticks in our PCs and threw them in a streaming PC and it seemed out performance issues stopped after that.
We were constantly having BSODs, program crashes, etc when we did this.

this is what i keep seeing online as well, i searched after the first response of it being odd, i figured it was odd when i did it because more ram is sold in pairs but ran with it cuz i got a good deal. I just grabbed another 8gm stick to plug in and it should be here tomorrow
I can tell you Ryzen is picky with memory and unless you are doing some specific tasks, you won’t really notice a benefit of going past 16gb
well newegg has 3 free games with the asus Radeon RX 590 and all three games are upcoming so i did it mainly for that and it is a pretty sweet upgrade too… should be here next weel
Yea, got those with my vega! awesome, and nvidia cards are over there giving fortnite and monster hunter world…

thanks for all the help bud!!
Not the case anymore. Nvidia Turning or AMD’s GCN will get you better performance. DX11 works faster for older Nvidia cards than AMD ones. 8.1 has a lot of DX12 that slingshots AMD cards further in heavy scenes if you have the CPU to keep feeding the GPU.
