Why is my Framerate lower when XMP is enabled :confused:

USERMAC
Level 9
I am confused as to why my performance is worse when I enable XMP on my memory. If I leave it at stock I am getting 23 fps more
I Have tested the memory in another system of mine but I do not lose any frames with XMP enabled it is just when using this motherboard I get lower framerate.

SYSTEM SPEC

Hero XI WIFI
i9 9900k
16 GB TRIDENT Z 3600 MHS "F4-3600C16D-16GTZ
RTX 2080 TI FOUNDERS
PSU HX1200I

I have taken two screen shots of the performance hit on and off

Any ideas on what is going on :confused:

Hi,

Try switching to XMPII instead of XMP1

Thanks for the idea but using XMP II Does the same thing.
It is looking like it is just Dirt 2.0 that does not like xmp with the hero xi and i9 because I took the memory out and put it into an older system of mine which is using a MAXIMUS VIII GENE with i7 7700k with the same GPU and had no issue using XMP, I even got a slightly higher framerate than the 9900k but I am guessing that is down to the memory XMP.

This is bizarre

we have very similar specs.. too bad i do not have dirt 2 to test, it can just boil down to some type of compatibility issue with dirt 2 and the 9900k's. I would let the developer's of Dirt 2 become aware of the issue if I were you, might help.
