CPU : Ryzen 5 2600 (With stock cooler) GPU : RX 6600 (MSI Mech 2x) PSU : BeQuiet System power 9 400w MOBO : Asus TUF b450 plus ii STORAGE : 1x M.2 SN550 , 1x 870 evo RAM : Patriot 2x8 DDR4 2133 Hello, I recently acquired a used RX 6600 to swap in my outdated 1050 Ti. I've only managed a slight boost in FPS on certain games, even after optimization. In titles like War Thunder and Squad Assault, I occasionally experience sudden lag spikes—sometimes dropping from 115-150 FPS to around 20, or from 50 FPS to just 10 for a few seconds. This has led me to suspect the CPU might be the issue, though it's not reaching its maximum speed. Additionally, my GPU memory tends to run full during Squad or Escape from Tarkov, and my RAM usage stays high at 90%-95%. I've updated all drivers, reformatted the SSD, tried uninstalling and reinstalling games, and even used FSR, but it doesn't improve performance regardless of settings. The graphical bar resizes automatically, and I always end other processes like Chrome or Spotify while playing these demanding titles.

Did you apply DDU to remove the previous Nvidia firmware? If not, visit the helpful forum thread, download and set up DDU, then uninstall all graphics drivers (both AMD and Nvidia) before reinstalling the AMD version for your 6600.

Yeye, I removed it using ddu but that doesn't matter because I set up my computer a week ago for this problem.

I recently faced a comparable problem—does your setup use a riser for the GPU? My experience showed that the new GPU wasn't fully compatible, causing several issues like significant frame drops. @Tsokerinos

No problem, the PCI slot connected directly had the same problem with both boards. It's a 16x Gen 3 port, yet the GPU only works with an 8x Gen 3 version.

The number 2600 isn't sufficient for this GPU, which is why reducing settings or FSR doesn't help. The PSU also appears to be a bit underpowered. I don't have much insight on the RAM setup, but it seems unimportant right now.
