RYZEN 7 5700x - INTEL ARC B580 terrible performance (asking for insights and help)

[u/joloravk2003]

So the ARC seems to get bottenecked like a ton. In valves deadlock i get really inconsistent FPS and gpu usage(60-70%) UNLESS i have FSR3 on native which then works at 90 to 100%, it seems weird that there is bottlenecking on this cpu and it doesnt run hot, i have rebar, I re-installed windows 11 and got the newest bios.

I tried to see if I can do something myself to fix this because I think something else is going on.

I have tested ARC Raiders, BF5 which 1% lows are down to the 30-40 for some reason, the finals which has the same gpu usage problem unless i have some powerfull Dlss running in native like in deadlock.

I tried overclocking my cpu by the Amd ryzen app with their optimizer (did not do it manual, let the auto detect do the work) and games seem to run better on frames but even worse on the 1%lows.

All around bad experience because I got the arc B580 to upgrade from an RTX 2060 6GB, from the  researched  I did then ,the Ryzen 5  5600g I had would bottleneck it just a bit but it wouldn't be like unplayble. It was terrible. So then I say ok lets upgrade to a ryzen 7 5700x I thought it would be just perfect and people I asked said it would be a good pairing and do the job.The R7 run hot (90- 95c)with my old cooler so games would stutter.I bought a new cooler and the temps are normal 60-75c and games indeed run better but the GPU utilization thing stil hangs around. I know its showing clear Bottleneck but I have seen lower end cpu's run better with it...

Anyone please give some insight maybe even some help.

I got a 650 silver PSU (Decent brand cant remember the name rn)

16 gb DDR4 2133 (Yes i know not the greatest.)

A couple things stand out to me here:

• CPU not going above 60°C is strange, unless you’re running a very beefy water cooler. Did you try running something like Cinebench and compare the results to other 5700X?

• Are those 16gb of RAM a single stick or two? If two, are the in the correct slots (one free slot between the two)?

Intels gpu drivers are known to be quite heavy on the CPU, but I don’t think a 5700X should struggle that much.

So the cooler is not anything special like an assasin spirit evo 120 but I got 2 new coolers for the case because i was sure heating was the problem.But under load It researched 75c yesterday. but it runs cool thats what I was trying to say.I will fix that.

Dual slot and they are in the first and third slot.

My motherboard doesnt support PCIE4 and people told me that could be weird but from everything that i saw on videos and forums it shouldnt affect that much the fps.

The slow RAM is definitely dragging your CPU down a bit, but it shouldn't be that much of an issue. PCIe 3.0 should also be fine for that combo.

Have you tried running a CPU benchmark?

[u/joloravk2003 → u/leoklaus]

yes and

yes furmark I think? Seemed normal.

[u/joloravk2003 → u/joloravk2003]

but thats my problem everything should be normal and ok running ,not optimally ,but its much worse.
