Question Built a New PC with some previous parts - Games Can’t Run - Ryzen 5 5600x + RX 6700 XT - please help

That's pretty normal for a 6700XT in furmark V2 - I get 10200 and 170 FPS
My 12000/200 FPS was in V1

You don't seem to have a hardware issue
CPU seems slightly slower than it could be but within a normal range
Your GPU seems fine

What games are you trying to play?

My 6700 XT seems to perform similarly to the 6600 I had a few days ago. While others are getting around 100-120 FPS, I'm seeing only 60-80 FPS, which is almost the same as what I experienced with the 6600. I don't know why.

I've been trying to play Fort and comparing the benchmarks to other videos and mine is performing worse by a good margin.

...don't trust videos touting performance claims.
even if you do have the exact same hardware with the exact same settings, you have to keep in mind that these videos are there to draw in views, so what they're claiming can always just be some bs to draw in another click.

I've got a similar setup and I'm getting 120 FPS on and aim practice map at 1440P
I let fortnite pick the recommended setting for my PC, and changed the FPS limit to 144

You should be getting 120+ fps on a similar map.
A map with lots of content will significantly reduce FPS

There have been several posts on the AMD forums about how ryzen and a 6700XT having issues in fortnite

One video suggested forcing PCIe gen 3 for the video card in the BIOS (instead of auto).
That shouldn't make a difference, but the 6700XT is a gen 3 card, so it can't hurt

Another mentioned that AMDs current implementation of DX11 doesn't work well with fortnite
DX12 worked fine for me,
The performance mode supposedly uses DX11, which could actually reduce performance.
The post suggested replacing some DLLs with older ones, but I'm not sure that is a great idea.
