Problems with AMD FX 8350 and XFX Rx 480 8gb gaming issues
I'm not sure if this is typical, but I've noticed that in Gta V and online play, my frame rate drops to 30-40 fps in closed areas while it's around 60 fps.
My system specs are: Crucial 8gb RAM, MSI 970 Gaming motherboard, AMD FX 8350 OC, XFX Rx 480 8gb.
Even when playing Fall Out 4, the frame rate stays between 30 to 40 fps in open areas.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? Could it be related to the RAM?

There is always a significant variation in frame rates during gameplay, especially when using detailed or high-resolution screens and considering the graphical distance. The level of detail and draw distance in a scene always plays a role. The greater the detail and distance in a game, the more it demands processing power or the number of stream processors in your graphics card. The higher the initial stream processor count on each GPU, the less likely the frame rate will drop. For instance, pairing an RX 480 with 8 Gb with 2333 SPs against a Radeon Nitro Fury with 3584 SP units under identical graphical settings.

But don't worry, 8350 shouldn't be restricting the Rx 480; I found out others achieved better results with it.
Ensure your graphics card driver is updated to the most recent version.
There is always a significant variation in frame rates during any game due to differences in output frame rates. This is especially noticeable when using more detailed or texture-rich screens with high resolution. The level of detail and draw distance in a game heavily influences the processing power required, which in turn affects the frame rate per second. The higher the detail and draw distance, the greater the demand on your graphics card's processing capabilities or the number of stream processors it contains. A higher initial stream processor count generally helps maintain a stable frame rate. For instance, using an RX 480 with 2333 SP versus a Radeon Nitro Fury with 3584 SP under identical settings would likely yield a better frame rate—around 40 fps—in a highly detailed scene or environment with extensive texture mapping and high visual fidelity. When selecting a graphics card, consider not only its speed but also its memory capacity and the amount of RAM available, as well as the specific specifications of the GPU model.

Sinistercr0c suggested using MSI afterburner to track GPU performance. It seems your CPU might be limiting GPU usage, but I think 8350 could actually boost the Rx 480's speed based on other users' experiences.

The FX-3850 works almost the same with all types of GPUs from Nvidia and AMD, including the Titan X and GTX 960. If it isn't a CPU issue, then what is? I don't care what you think—I just want the truth. That review proves his CPU will bottleneck his GPU in GTA V...end of story.
