Hey everyone! I recently upgraded my graphics card from a 3080 to a 4070 Super, and I've noticed that both my GPU and CPU utilization are lower than what I was experiencing with my previous setup. I have a Ryzen 9 5900X, and someone suggested that my RAM might be the culprit since it's currently running at the default speed of 2133MHz. I have 2 sets of Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM, both rated at 3200MHz (8GB x2 each), but I've heard mixed things about using two different types of RAM in a quad-channel setup. Should I enable DOCP to utilize the 3200MHz speeds? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You should definitely consider turning on DOCP. It might help with your RAM speeds, and if you encounter any instability, you can always disable it again. It's possible that your CPU is limiting your GPU's performance, especially since the Ryzen 5900X is often seen as overkill compared to some GPUs in certain games.
Should I upgrade to a Ryzen 7 5700X3D instead? I was looking at the 5800X3D, but that one is pretty pricey. I'm not ready to switch to AM5 right now since I just bought the new GPU, so should I just hold off on a CPU upgrade for now?
