Unfortunately I could not think of a fitting heading, so I will go into more detail now, I would be happy if someone takes the time to read everything. Yesterday, my friend and I upgraded his PC;
New specs:
3200Mhz DDR4 2x8GB RAM
AMD Ryzen 2700X
MSI B450-A PRO MAX motherboard
Nvdia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card
Operating system is Win10 Pro 64 bit
We know that AMD benefits greatly from RAM Speed, which is why we have already adjusted the RAM Speed in the BIOS.
Now don't ask me why, but we used my friend's old drives (one HDD and one SSD), so we didn't set up Windows again. My friend has an older version of Windows, which he does not use, on his HDD, and his "Main Windows" on his SSD, which is why he also boots.
Strangely enough, when he boots from the HDD, he has more performance in Minecraft than when he boots from the SSD. For example, if he boots over the Windows on the HDD, he gets about 500 FPS in Minecraft without shader, and about 120 FPS with shader. If he boots via Windows on his SSD, he gets around 80 FPS without shader, with shader 7, so basically unplayable. Interestingly, the GPU utilization when booting via the SSD is about 10% for Minecraft without shaders, and about 3% (yes, less) with shaders. When booting via the HDD, the usage is generally always in the range of 60%
We updated the graphics driver and also completely reinstalled Java and Minecraft. Unfortunately no change. All energy saving modes are at maximum instead of "balanced" etc. VSync is off and the frame rate is uncapped. The graphics card is definitely used, because the CPU has no onboard graphics.
We think that the GPU may be botlenecked by Windows, because the only difference is Windows. Unfortunately we don't know what else to do.
And no, we don't want to just always boot from the HDD from now on, firstly, the Windows is not activated on it and secondly, it takes too long to boot up, etc., since it is an HDD, and the HDD is very busy.
Hope we can be helped here.
In short:
Set up Windows again, then install all chipset drivers of the new mainboard, graphics drivers, and the problem should be solved.
That's actually weird. Actually, Windows can't bottleneck this,
however there are possible reasons for this:
But actually it should run faster because it runs on an SSD, not on an HDD, but that wouldn't make much difference from FPS.
Have any settings been made in Windows that affect or enhance performance? If something was set on the HDD to improve performance, so would it on the SSD.
Was the graphics card overclocked on the HDD?
What is an SSD?
I would check all drivers again in detail etc.
Yes you are right. Actually, the HDD is always the slow problem child with something, which is why we're very surprised. The HDD also behaves normally like an HDD stop, the Windows there takes years to boot, the disk is 100% busy until everything starts after 5 years, etc. Etc. Only the FPS in Minecraft are just gigantic better, what we also see a very paradox.
We didn't really change anything on the HDD Windows. All settings should roughly correspond to those of the SSD Windows.
The graphics card was not overclocked anywhere.
SSD is here: https://www.mindfactory.de/...18799.html
That's funny.
Reinstall all drivers to the latest version.
I don't just mean the graphics drivers.
Because the SSD is not bad in itself.
