Fps drop following minor GPU upgrades
I own a Ryzen 3 2200G APU with an integrated Vega 8 GPU. Ryzen Master assigns my GPU "GFX" a 400htz setting even though it's meant for 1.1Gtz. When I increase the GFX settings, the performance generally stays stable, but it fluctuates significantly—sometimes dropping to 14fps and then jumping back up repeatedly.
Hello, it seems the CPU is throttling due to high temperatures. Verify the CPU temperatures using tools such as CPUID, HWMonitor, ThrottleStop, etc. If they exceed 80 degrees, explore cooling options like a laptop cooler or fresh thermal paste.
Discovered it was lacking both voltage and excessive heat. Operating at 80-85°C. Adjusted frequency to 900MHz with a bit more voltage, achieving stability though temperatures remain near 75-78°C under full load. Installed an aftermarket cooler (Gammax 200t) tomorrow. Others reported that similar coolers on their 2200G rigs reduced temps from 70-80°C to 40-60°C even with overclocking.
Your CPU is rated at 65 watts, the cooler supports up to 100 watts. It's more than sufficient for stock performance and a bit of overclocking. If possible, adding some inexpensive fans can improve airflow, provided you keep the intake and exhaust separate.
