Question Bad performance on rx 6900 xt

[Obsnacks]

So, I recently got a rx 6900xt reference model and I fell as though it is underperforming, but Benchmarks say otherwise. I ran 3d mark time spy and firestrike, and for time spy I got 16,890 and for firestrike 38,111 which seems to be normal for my setup. But the problem is when playing Battlefield 1, I cap my frames at 144hz and everything on ultra and you would think I would get a solid 144 fps, Wrong it keeps dipping up and down from 120- to 144 and its really annoying. I also played the new warzone and with everything on ultra I get like 110-144fps and on 1440p the same thing. For some reason in warzone it doesn't matter if you turn the graphics to low I get the same frames. What I have done so far is reinstalled drivers so many times now I can't even count, I also did a fresh clean of windows. In Bf1 Cpu usage is at 40-50% and same for gpu when playing 1080p 144hz cap, though one of the cpu cores is always in the 80%90% range. I came to the conclusion that its a bottleneck that is causing this and my performance is completely normal. I just though I would put this out there and see what you guys think.

Seems spot on for the performance , at least you have a baseline.

So the fps dips are normal? Seems strange for a 600$ part. But if you say everything is alright then it is what it is.

No your right, fps dips are not normal especially if you see it from going 120fps then 144fps and back again... that there seems like a refresh rate issue.

Your CPU is the "bottleneck" with that CPU and those games at that resolution.

For S&Gs go to userbenchmark.com and run the test. Link the results here.

It says excellent performing above expectations.

I'd say you're right where your setup to be. As I stated before the GPU isn't the "problem". BF1 and Warzone use a lot of CPU power with those large maps and many players.

Here is a video with msi afterburner in warzone 2, the first part is all in low settings and then I change them to all high once I land. The problem is that no one posted a youtube benchmark for warzone with my specs, so I have nothing to compare it to. And for some reason the video is in 360p so bare with me.

Any thoughts on this?

for time spy I got 16,890

is that total score or graphic score?
either weay its kinda low i guess, i have 6800 (non XT) and score is 16611, while graphic score is 18328

I scored 16 611 in Time Spy

I’d agree this seems more likely just the best fps the cpu/RAM combination can deliver. Lowering settings and seeing no improvement in fps is typical of a cpu/RAM limitation.

If not already using it you could try switching on PBO which is effectively an automatic overclock for the cpu.
