Ryzen doesn't have the greatest single core performance and tf2 pretty much relies on IPC + clock speed, you can try overclocking which should help a decent margin.
edit: also ryzen gets pretty big performance gain from ram speed, iirc 3000/3200Mhz is recommended for optimal performance.

make sure you install the ryzen chipset drivers, that makes a surprising difference ive heard. same with gpu drivers

where can't you get over 200fps? 200fps in 24 player pubs is pretty good for this gam, try mastercoms or comanglia's config tho

When i play pugchamp 6s I can't even get 200 fps, I spent around $2k on my pc and the game is 10 y/o.

without an fps config that's pretty normal

I'm on dx8 and I can't get enough fps

why do u need more than 200 fps lol, all you need is 144

I mean I spent $2k on my pc and this shit can't even run tf2 on high or even dx9. I get crazy fps drops on every mid fight

240hz glory

In all seriousness ryzen is perfectly fine in terms of IPC but the main issue is not can't be overclocked as well as Intel. In order to have 200fps plus in a 24 person server you'll need a fps config and a clock rate of close to ~4.4GHz with no background programs open.

Also being a 10 year old + valve game means tf2 doesn't support multithreading well

how did you manage to spend 2k on a pc

Verify your build and software installation is OK by running a benchmark like Heaven and checking your scores against similar builds.
Your build should be more than strong enough to run TF2.

Which Ryzen 7 exactly? Overclocked?
RAM speed and timings?
Actually plugged the monitor into the GPU and not integrated graphics? Drivers installed?

850W PSU for a ~300W build. I will never understand this.

I'm on a ryzen 5 and a 1060 with no OC and get around ~320 that only dips badly on full pubs. Running on dx9 because I like shiny ubers. My guess is there is something up with the ram, or a driver issue somewhere down the line.

put your ram at maximum speed and overclock your cpu
make sure you have the latest bios update

i think this video explains it well:

I think you guys both missed that he's running the game on "high" in dx8 I can only assume this is the preset or a max quality config

If it wasn't on high the GPU wouldn't matter. That's why I asked.
More or less expected, yes, but can't hurt to check.

Correct I just saw the dx8 and quit paying attention because I didn't know "high" and dx8 were things that exist together in this timeline lol.

you’re not gonna run tf2 on high settings with 300 fps constant without a cpu clocked at at least 5 ghz

Define "can't even run", as in stuttering or low fps or..?

Also, friendly reminder that overclocking risks overheating, so make sure you got your cooling down.

Do you have a config?

Game is shit. That is normal even on i7s without a config. What R7 did you get? The 1700 is very low clocked by default but overclocks nicely and should make a big difference. Did you get good ram or the cheapest garbage 2133 kit you could find? That makes a big difference on Ryzen.

Ryzen 1700 and I bought expensive ram 16GB can't really find the name lol

get another pc

Weird, I've seen a benchmark of a Ryzen 3 1300X paired with a GT 1300 @ Max settings running TF2 at a consistent 115+ fps.

I tried running it on dx9 with cfg and everything and I get around 80 fps in 6s and around 50-40 in casual.

Ryzen 7 1700, GTX 1070, 16GB RAM

what cfg?

Everytime I overclock my ram speed It won't let me turn on my PC after.

dx8

Did you try Comanglia's Max FPS for High Quality PCs? Or even default settings?
Toaster settings don't make the game run better for most recent builds.
I'm fairly certain DX8 features need to be emulated.

I didn't try this one yet, I tried dx8 and dx9 and still getting low fps.
