Hey everyone! I need some help understanding whether my FPS numbers in various games are typical for my setup. Here are my specs:
- Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- Sapphire Pulse 9070XT
- 32GB RAM (16GB x2, CL30)
- 2TB SN7100 SSD
(All my games are on the SSD)
I've been testing some games at 1440p and here are my average FPS:
- **Cyberpunk 2077**: 50-55 FPS (max settings with psycho ray tracing)
- **Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2**: 60 FPS in forest areas, 86 FPS in Kuttengburg (using experimental graphics settings)
- **Counter-Strike 2**: 250-300 FPS (max settings; I know it's just for testing)
- **Red Dead Redemption 2**: 65-70 FPS (max settings)
- **Hogwarts Legacy**: 58-62 FPS (max ray tracing)
I turned off AMD Instant Replay for these tests, though I usually play with it on.
I'm particularly confused about my low FPS in Red Dead Redemption 2. I ran a benchmark without actually playing and I've put over 400 hours into the game on a fresh install, but getting 60-70 FPS feels too low for such an old title. I couldn't find a lot of benchmarks for the other games, and it makes me wonder if my GPU is underperforming. Are these FPS numbers normal for my setup?

Most of those games aren’t performing well on max settings, except for CS2 and Cyberpunk. The experimental settings for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 aren’t really designed for current-gen specs. For RDR2, the max settings are notorious for being poorly optimized. It's worth checking out some benchmarks on YouTube with your specific setup to compare.
Yeah, I get that the experimental settings aren't meant for someone with my setup. I did see a video of someone with the same specs hitting over 100 FPS on RDR2, which made me wonder why I’m only getting 65-70 FPS. Plus, when I enabled path tracing in Cyberpunk, I got 70-80 FPS, but it felt laggy like I was getting 20 FPS. Any thoughts on that?
