Performance drops below normal speed when using Ryzen 5 5600x and RTX 3070
Hi. Over the past couple of weeks my computer's performance has suddenly slowed down without any clear reason. Previously, I could achieve 350-450 FPS in CSGO even with all settings at their maximum. In COD Warzone I used to get around 140 fps with high settings on 1080p, but now I see about 110 fps even when using the low setting and with DLSS enabled. During intense fights I notice fps stutters. I ran MSI Afterburner for benchmarking to check for issues, though I’m still confused about what it showed.
My PC specifications are:
MSI B550-A PRO
Ryzen 5 5600X
RTX 3070
16 GB 3200MHz RAM
500GB M.2 SSD
Corsair RM750x
My CPU and GPU temperatures look normal. During Warzone the CPU stays above 60°C and the GPU temps range from 60 to 70°C while playing heavily. In other games the temps are lower.
Verify your present motherboard BIOS version and compare it with MSI's support information. If there are pending BIOS updates, avoid upgrading immediately; progress to newer versions step by step (excluding Beta). What operating system are you using? Where did you obtain the OS installer for?
I changed my BIOS during the update, but noticed that the local PC shop technician installed my RAM in the incorrect slots and didn’t enable XMP mode. This likely led to FPS drops.
