Question core drop... is a problem?

[polenta]

I have a 2060 and have been having frame drop issues for a while on games like fortnite where, up until (literally) 2 weeks ago, I was doing 180 fixes (now I don't go over 150). I opened afterburner and I noticed that both the mhz of the memory and of the gpu were not stable ... is this a problem? and if so, how can I solve it?

what the gpu temp?
full system spec? include brand and model of the psu

 

[polenta]

my gpu temp is always 50 degrees and i have:
ryzen 7 3700x
msi b450 tohmawk max
16gb ram patriot viper 3733mhz
2060 aorus
Cooler Master Masterliquid Ml240P Mirage
1tb crucial P1 ssd nvme
2tb hard disk barracuda
corsair VS 650....

always 50c on idle and during game? something not right

 

[polenta]

not stuck at 50 but yes (from 45 to 64)
and its the same with the cpu, always around 60

 

[rgd1101]

what the cpu/gpu usage during the game?
ram/ssd usage?

test with another psu?

 

[polenta]

cpu 40% gpu 35% idk ram and ssd ones... i cant test with another psu

Does this only happen with Fortnite or do other applications perform similarly?

in other applications i can easly hold 144 stuck fps but i cant get past 150(same with fn)... but i never had framelag problems

Clocks will go up and down depending on the power limit by the cards Vbios, it is completely normal.

The games you play are CPU limited.

Does the performance in said applications line up with what other people or reviews have gotten? You may have to look for separate instances with the RTX 2060 and Ryzen 3700X, just take the lower of the two.

no, it is completely different. I have a friend that with a 750 can hold stuck 240fps so yeah
