Literally the entire time I’ve had this computer, xmp (some mobos call it docp) wasn’t enabled! This means there’s a bunch of games I’ve marked as “wait for upgrade” that probably don’t need to wait lol. As well the times where I had to turn things down, I probably didn’t need to.
I’m going to enable it now, I totally forget my ram speeds but I know it ain’t that slow lol. If you have DDR4, double check this!
Much better. I feel stupid.
In FF VII Rebirth I gained 15-25 fps in any given scene and some areas that had bad frame timing are smooth now.
It is not for DDR4 only. I have DDR3, and there are several profiles for RAM speed. A 25 fps boost is crazy, though. I’ve read that for DDR4, the difference in speed can bring a 5-10% increase in fps, but 25 seems a lot.
It’s dependent on what the game uses the system ram for. If it’s barely anything you’ll see no diff. If it needs to read/write a metric fuck tonne of data before and/or during and/or after every frame you’ll see a diff. Though for this game I’m more grateful for the frame timing not being a problem anymore because I was never going below 60fps anyway and there’s nothing more frustrating than seeing stutter when you’re above 60fps on a high refresh rate monitor that has gsync.
Didnt know you have intel CPU. Thought you were always an AMD guy haha
It is AMD. Ryzen 5900x .
Hmmm, then its weird that use use XMP instead of EXPO. I wonder if EXPO is only available for for AMD 7000 and 9000 series. Gonna check it later.
My mobo called it docp. It’s all the same shit.
It is annoying that it never defaults to the XMP profile.
Yeah. Not sure why they do that.
It’s also weird that they have X3D profile turned off by default. So if you have a X3D CPU, you might lose performance because that profile is off by default.
