So I recently bought the RTX 3090, and uhh so far it’s on par with my 1080ti… literally with everything… cyberpunk for me to get a steady 60fps on a 2k monitor I have to play on medium settings… if I use Ray tracing forget about it… playing WoW I get 60-70 fps which was about the same I got from my 1080ti… actually I think I got the same fps on cyberpunk on my 1080ti too.
Need help! I’m not tech savvy but I’m sure I should see better performance no?
Completely uninstall your old drivers (DDU is good but any will do).
Double check your bios settings for your pcie slots
reinstall the latest drivers and restart
I did the driver thingy, followed a guide, I have no idea what bios settings are though.
What are you expecting exactly? Wow’s engine is still heavily CPU based, the ray-traced shadows or whatever WoW’s implementation was isn’t going to do a whole lot visually, and it’s not likely to give you a big performance boost.
Also, what CPU do you have? There might be a hardware bottleneck issue between the CPU and the GPU.
I have a 3080 and play aat 3440x1440 with everything max and ray tracing off and can keep a steady 100fps in almost every situation.
What CPU do you have like the previous person asked? That could have a lot to do with it.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16-Core Socket TR4 3.4GHz Unlocked CPU Processor With a ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme X399 TR4 E-ATX Motherboard.
Just copy and pasted from the invoice haha
That’s an older gen threadripper I believe and WoW relies heavily on single core performance, so that could be an issue.
Edit: for reference, I have a 5800x, a newest gen Ryzen CPU with great single core performance.
Now I’m curious why you’d be using a Threadripper to play WoW.
But yea its mostly just WoW’s engine isn’t GPU based so using an RTX 3090 with 24gb of RAM isn’t really going to get you much better performance than using an older gen RTX, all things considered. You can turn on the ray-tracing for smooth shadows but your FPS isn’t going to shoot up like it would on a game with an engine built for GPUs.
It seems like your CPU is a bit old, it is probably a bottleneck for that huge card.
I literally went to the pc guy at the time and said build me a good pc for games, that’s what he used 
.
Sounds like the person went with the “more expensive = better” method unfortunately.
So maybe need a new cpu and motherboard, I was just hoping to play cyberpunk at 2k with more then 60 fps on medium settings 
Is DLSS turned on? Doesn’t matter what card you have, without DLSS turned on in some capacity, ray tracing will destroy your framerate in Cyberpunk.
I’m still running two 1080 ti in SLI (DX11), generally the game runs at 120-150 FPS with a g-sync monitor. Most of my settings are high/ultra.
Even if I run cyberpunk medium everything off I just reach 60 fps…
wow is a cpu based game. and a single thread one at that. you can have the best gpu in the world but if your running a 5 yr old cpu or a mediocre one don’t expect any performance increases. you need to check if the game you want to run is cpu or gpu based first. having a 3090 in say a dual core 2.8ghz broadwell cpu is like having a turbocharged v12 in a volkswagon beetle. not very useful.
Yeah this probably explains it, first gen threadripper is fantastic for multithreaded loads, but it’s not a gaming oriented chip since it has low IPC and games tend to run better on fewer faster cores than on many slower ones.
The newest Threadripper chips have a significantly better IPC (nowhere near as good as Ryzen 5000 series though), but the older ones aren’t really the best option for gaming.
#1 - there’s a tech forums, this is GD
#2 - WoW is a CPU intensive game, not GPU, which is why you barely noticed a performance difference shelling out $1400 for a new piece of hardware.
#3 - Why on earth are you using such a dated processor paired with a cutting edge GPU??? Makes no sense.
1st gen threadripper CPUs were known to have poor gaming performance due to the nature of how the chiplets are being handled. You have the 16 core variant which is by far the worst one I believe. Since it has to deal with 4 chiplets (They are 4 cores each). Plus the lower CPU frequency doesn’t help WoW. You are basically bottlenecking the 3090 with that CPU.
I have a 3090 and. AMD Ryzen 5900x.
Playing at 3840x1440P I got about 90-140FPS with everything maxed
This game is strictly a cpu based game. I got no extra frames jumped from my 2080 to this 3090 but got a noticeable jumped when I installed my 5900x
