Question A new RX 590 limits the CPU performance

[Dead_Dann]

A friend bought a new Sapphire RX 590 just a week ago, and since then he been experiencing a poor cpu performance and a high gpu performance, I mean, that cpu was only at 22%-27% and the gpu was at 97%-100%... We thought it was the power supply or even the cpu but we try my own gtx 1060 and everything was running great, then I try his gpu in my rig and got the same performance even when I have a better cpu, ram, power supply and storage, so we don't know what to do now... Any ideas of what it could be?

That's the way it should be. How's performance?

Full system specs?

Are you uninstalling the Nvidia drivers?

That's normal.

 

[Dead_Dann]

That's normal.

it's not normal that a gtx 1060 works better than a rx590

Full system specs?

my specs:
ryzen 7 1700x
2x 8gb ram 2666
msi x370 gaming carbon

Are you uninstalling the Nvidia drivers?

not yet, but my friend's pc didn't have a gpu before this one, so it was the first time he install any graphics card driver

That's the way it should be. How's performance?

my gtx 1060 run almost any game around 65/75 fps and this rx 590 can't handle more than 62 fps

Here's the issue: we're comparing the performance of one PC to a second mystery PC and not even comparing any actual A/B performance data. Like the FPS on specific games at specific setting-levels. We're mostly working off your subjective opinions.

Well, I don't have my 1060 right now to do a specific test, but that gpu run cod black ops 4 with my settings at 124fps and more, but the rx 590 only handle 79/95 fps and sometimes reach 112 fps with the same setting, I also put my 1060 in my friend's pc that have aryzen 5 2400g, 2x 8gb ram 2400mhz and a gigabyte a320 and every game in that pc were running a lot better

What frequencies is the GPU hitting during testing?

What frequencies is the GPU hitting during testing?

In both pc's was 1725mhz with the rx 590 and with the 1060 went up to 3600mhz in my friend's pc and 3900mhz in my pc

sorry, actually the frecuency of the rx 590 was 1500+ and the 1060 was 1800+, those other frequencies were from de cpu

 

[tennis2]

I was gonna say...3600MHz on a GTX1060 has to be a record even for LN2.

yeah, I read cpu… my bad

Try using DDU to uninstall Nvidia drivers
