FPS Drop every 10/15 seconds.
Hi everyone.
When I play video games, the FPS drops every 15 seconds on average after about 5 minutes.
In Red Dead Redemption 2 I experienced around 70/80 FPS, GPU temps reached 70°C at full usage (90% CPU), and CPU temps hit 50°C with 30% load, causing FPS to fall to 30/40 every 15 seconds.
In other games like CSGO or Valorant it doesn’t happen, possibly due to driver updates. I’m using Windows 11.
My PC specs: CPU Ryzen 7 5700G, GPU RX 570, RAM Corsair 16GB 2400MHz, PSU 550W Corsair, M2 1TB Kingston.
Single or Dual channel? Frame time inconsistency is to be expected for Ryzen at sub 3200C16 either way though, really. You could try framerate lock to 60fps and see if the frame time improves. There's FRTC for AMD but if you just want to try a quick dirty check you can use Radeon Chill just on Red Dead Redemption 2 to limit to 60 minimum and maximum. Mind you if you use FRTC, it applies GLOBALLY, including in games where you dont want it like aforementioned Valorant and CSGO.
I recently played another game, Dying Light.
I captured two screenshots—one showing the game running smoothly and another when the FPS drops.
From these images, I noticed the GPU frequency falls to the lowest level (300MHz).

It's expected to be. A dual channel setup is necessary for optimal frame times in gaming. Benchmarks show you're losing a significant portion of your performance, especially at lower framerates. The frequency characteristics align well with modern GPU behavior, so it's not an immediate issue at this stage.
I possess a single module of RAM, consisting of one stick with 16GB capacity.
