Hello everyone!

I’m posting this because I need help upgrading my PC components. However, I don’t know where to start.

Here are my current specs:

Operating system : Nobara Linux

Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 5600, 6x 3500 MHz

CPU cooler : Deepcool Gammaxx C40

Graphic card : ASUS Radeon RX 6800, ASUS TUF-RX6800-O16G-GAMING, 16 GB GDDR6

Motherboard : ASUS TUF B450-PLUS GAMING II

RAM : 32 GB DDR4-RAM, Dual Channel (4x 8 GB), 3200 MHz

Storage :I have several SSDs so that’s fine

Case : Deepcool CL500, black.

Power supply : 750 Watt MSI MPG A750 GF, 90% efficiency (80 Plus Gold certified)

I would like to point out that I play on a 2k 144hz 27" monitor and I want to stick with full AMD because it’s more convenient for me on Linux.

Even though I don’t think there’s a bottleneck, I’m looking to improve my setup primarily because I play The Finals in 2k, and with the graphics on low, I often drop below 80 fps at times (I would like to stay at 120fps).

Thank you for reading!

    I use a single SSD on the M2 port (the one for the OS + files). My games are stored on an SSD connected via Sata.

    Otherwise, my monitor supports AMD FreeSync (I don’t know if that’s what you’re talking about in relation to VRR).

    However, I just noticed that my 4 RAM sticks weren’t exactly the same (I didn’t build the PC).

    This image comes from the CPU-X software. 2x Kingston 99U5428-063.A00LF 2x Kingston KF3200C16D4/8GX

    They are all configured in the same way:

    • Type : DIMM DDR4 Synchronous Unbuffered (Unregistered)
    • Size : 8Go
    • Speed : 3000 MT/s (configured & max)
    • Tension : 1.2V

      Yes, VRR is a generic term for G-Sync, FreeSync and other VRR standards.

      Is it enabled? It might be running out of the box, but it probably isn’t. The way to enable it will depend on your display server (X11 or Wayland) and your DE (gnome, kde, etc.)

      Also, weird. One of those RAM sets isn’t even supposed to be DDR4, it’s DDR3.

      Either way, running a mismatched set will disable XMP, so your RAM is almost definitely not running to its full potential. You could figure out and set their clocks and latency numbers manually, to something that works on both sets, but that is not simple.

      You can’t configure individual RAM sticks differently in a system, that they are running the same settings goes without saying. That’s why you shouldn’t mistmatch RAM. Because then you can’t run the settings that are “correct” for either.

      You may actually get better results by pulling whichever set is slower, and going down to 16GB but with faster settings.
