DX 6600 runs slowly in games. System specs: Desktop GPU Powercolor RX 6600, CPU Inter Core i7 4790K @ 4.0Ghz, Motherboard Gigabyte GA Z97x Gaming, BIOS version F5, RAM 2x8GB Kingston KHX1600C10D3/8G DDR3, 12800 MHz, PSU Chieftec Navitas GPM-750c, 750W, 80+ Gold case, Fractal Design Core 3300, OS Windows 10 Home 22H2. GPU drivers are AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 23.3.2, chipset Intel 11.7.0.1040 (found via device manager), background apps include Logitech G Hub, Corsair iCue, Steam, Bitdefender Antivirus. Problem description: Just purchased and swapped the card yesterday. Performance has dropped noticeably compared to my previous GTX 970 in titles like CS:GO and League of Legends. I suspect a bottleneck but expect FPS not to fall below old levels. Passmark test shows much better scores than with GTX 970, which aligns with my setup using PCIe 3.0 board, older CPU, and slower RAM. There have been a few crashes from the AMD software—could this be related? Troubleshooting steps attempted: set Windows power to high, disabled amd chill and amd lag, reinstalled drivers after fresh Windows install, no re-installing yet.

What frame rate are you seeing in your games? Please share the details about temperatures, power usage, and CPU/GPU load so I can help further.

Check the performance metrics in the AMD software for CS:GO and League of Legends. Look for average FPS and GPU/CPU temps at different settings. For monitoring power and temperature, consider using a dedicated hardware monitor or logging tools that track these values automatically. Save the data regularly to review trends over time.

Have you checked boosting the graphics options in CSGO?

Sure, I can help with that.
On the 970, my scores stayed consistently high at 250 or more, and in League under the same settings, my performance remained above 200 as well. Could you give more details about what you meant by "this idea"?

Overloading the CPU can be resolved by boosting GPU usage.
