I made this setup a month ago. It runs smoothly for a few weeks, then suddenly becomes very slow—like stuttering—not just during games. I tried several fixes but concluded the issue lies with my RX 6600 GPU. After plugging in an HDMI port on my motherboard and everything worked, I reinstalled the drivers and connected the HDMI to the GPU again. It fixed the problem this time. Now I’m still in warranty, but I’m worried about doing this repeatedly. Should I replace my GPU or just update the drivers?

It seems the operating system is behaving oddly with the GPU drivers, leading to instability. Since updating the drivers resolves the issue, it suggests the hardware itself is functioning correctly.

It seems there might be a problem with the display driver. I'll also verify if the power connectors to the GPU are correct.

I simulate high power conditions on my GPU and confirm everything functions properly.

It's been nearly a month since I completed the Windows installation, everything looks good. Thanks!
