I just finished building my new PC and I can see some cool graphics drops at this link. I want to check things out while playing games. I don't know how to fix it, so could someone help me? Here is what I tried: I updated the BIOS and turned on/off many settings in AMD software that I almost forgot all of them too. I changed performance limits for my GPU in the tuning section of a program. A friend told me to turn off UPLS in MSI Afterburner, and another said to disable HPET so I did both. I also enabled XMP from my BIOS and turned on high performance mode under Power Settings at pcpartpicker.

Check out this link: https://www.xfxforce.com/shop/xfx-speeds...-xt-core#2 Your power supply might be a problem. But I've already updated my BIOS. Can you tell me what version of the BIOS is on your motherboard? Having random drops that make games lag slow down your PC. Do you want to know which specific game titles are having this issue? Which operating system are you using and where did you get the installer for it? When the frames start dropping, what temperatures do you see for your CPU and GPU?

My computer BIOS version is 1.11.AS03. I ran some tests on DMC5, Nioh 2, Elden Ring, both the Nier titles, Shadow Warrior 2, Gunfire Reborn, RE 2 Remake, Assault Spy, Star Ocean Divine Force, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Remnant From the Ashes, and MH Rise. Most of these games usually show this spike at some point. I downloaded a boot drive for Windows 10 using https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software.../windows10 To check temp like in the picture it spikes but the temperature does not change much. I am unsure about CPU temp. I don't know if this is relevant but I do hear a buzzing noise from my pc when playing more graphically intense games.
