Config:

5600xt Red Devil
Ryzen 5 3600 (overclocked 4.3ghz,without same result)
b450 gaming plus max
Ram ballstix 16gb dual channel overclocked 3600mhz

Playing FHD or HD same results. Settings on lowest.
Driver up to date,vbios gpu up to date. Tried ISLC,reinstalled the game,malwerbytes scan,disabled hpet.

Online on the same configs and settings i see 180fps+ more.

Gpu and Cpu tested on Cinebench and Superposition = Normal Results

Can anyone tell me how this is even possible? Pls help me

Hi
Rig :
5600xt Red Devil
Ryzen 5 3600 (overclocked 4.3ghz,without same result)
b450 gaming plus max
Ram ballstix 16gb dual channel overclocked 3600mhz
I updated my old i5 8400 and old rams with the Ryzen 3600 thinking to get the ultimate gaming experience,eventually i got lower fps than before.
I post benchmarks here :
Warzone https://drive.google.com/file/d/182lXbmz7gThZdQ8AeMlqnOaSJrbTRywI/view?usp=sharing
Apex https://drive.google.com/file/d/182lXbmz7gThZdQ8AeMlqnOaSJrbTRywI/view?usp=sharing
In other games like Hyper Scape i had no problem,i will try with other games but these performance can't be related to my rig.
I tried everything...DDU,playing 1600x900,overclock cpu/ram/gpu,nothing works.
I tested Gpu with Superposition 4000 points , cpu also on point with Cinebench.
I don't know what is wrong. Pls someone help me.

I made an account to respond as I was having the same issue with 9700k & 5700xt, hopefully yours is the same issue so that I can help.

Turn off the in-game overlay for Radeon.
On my PC, for whatever reason Apex just really really doesn't like the ability to turn on/off the overlay. So much so, that the overlay doesn't have to be up for these issues to occur. In fact, if you have the overlay running, there are no visible signs that it is what is causing the problem, except for one thing I noticed thinking back on that should've probably put up a red flag or two.
If you turn on the performance metric overlay using the Radeon settings, and have task manager open as well, your Radeon overlay will tell you the actual CPU usage that is being used up by the game. Your Task Manager will show high/100% CPU usage, due to (I believe it was) Windows Desktop Manager or something similar to that process name eating up the additional 20-40% of your missing CPU power.
If this isn't your issue, I apologize as I will not be of much more help. Reason is, before finding my solution, I had tried everything else with the exception of messing with config files. So I have really no direction to point you in besides what you've likely already tried.
Good luck brother, hope it works.

i see that you CPU doesn't past 4075Mhz
did you activated PBO in the bios ?

another setting to try is the "game mode" from windows. some games likes it ON, others run better OFF
ususally, it's better to optimize lighty-threaded games.
