Hello! I understand your concerns. You're experiencing low FPS on your AMD RX6650XT even after adjusting settings, and switching between 1440p and 1080p still doesn't improve performance. Since you play many multiplayer games like Cod or GTA V, you might want to check if upgrading to a 5700x display could help. It would be a worthwhile investment for better visuals and potentially smoother gameplay. Regarding cooling, a better cooler might be necessary depending on your current setup. Your brother's 2600 model also needs an upgrade, so sharing the cost could be beneficial. Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.
I understand your concern. It's normal for GPU performance to fluctuate, especially in certain games. The drops you're seeing—from 99% to 60-70%—can happen due to various factors like system load or background processes. You shouldn't expect high FPS in all titles; performance varies by game and hardware. Check your settings, update drivers, and ensure your system has enough resources for smoother play.
It looks like a good mix, but it’s puzzling why it works this way. Review your available power modes and adjust settings in the control panel—check which ones are recommended. Also, ensure proper airflow to prevent the GPU from throttling due to heat.
1. Performance settings are set to high performance; unsure if this causes any issues.
2. Temperatures remain stable, CPU stays below 50°C in some games, GPU under 70°C, generally 60-65°C, with spikes up to 70°C in more demanding titles.
3. Recent problems appeared with older titles such as Black Ops 1 or similar Mw titles in MW2 and MW3. Many crashes and freezes occurred, FPS dropped below 90fps. Driver reinstallation helped somewhat but not significantly. Currently, other games are also experiencing issues.
4. After upgrading to 1440p monitor, even with 1080p settings, Cold War still struggles to reach 90fps in some sections.
The 5700X offers little improvement over the 5600. Performance changes typically stay around 5% across various titles—especially noticeable with high-end GPUs like a 3090 or 4090 at 1080p. Your 6650XT won’t noticeably outperform it. The main upgrade inside the socket is the 5800X3D, though even that provides only a modest 20-25% boost for gaming. Low performance might indicate a CPU bottleneck, which is common in some titles. For games like CS2, running at lower settings helps prevent the GPU from straining. Adjusting settings ensures the GPU isn’t overworked. Which games are you struggling to hit your target FPS?
Recently in Call of Duty Cold War and GTA 5. The Cold War is almost unplayable. Around 80-90 fps at 1080p low settings. I've tried various configurations, but the results remain the same. GTA 5 online works at 90 and 100 fps with 1440p mid settings. It's functional but I'm curious why it doesn't hit higher speeds. I'm trying to figure this out. I plan to upgrade my PC today to test. Using DDU and reinstalling drivers didn't help, though swapping GPUs from 1650 to 6650XT helped. After a full Windows reinstall, it worked fine. Some older games like Old War II, Modern Warfare 2, and Black Ops 1 consistently cap at around 90 fps, which suggests this isn't a CPU issue.
The higher the resolution, the greater the load on the GPU. A 6700xt might not fit your budget if you switch to a 6650. You'd likely need to reinstall drivers, adjust the GPU voltage, enable PBO in BIOS, and ensure XMP is active for your 16GB RAM. As others mentioned, the 5600 is similar to the 5700 but with fewer cores—your decision depends on what matters most.
