Hey,

My hardware is:

MSI B650 edge wifi

Corsair vengeance RGB DDR5 2x16GB 5200MHz

ASUS TUF RTX 3070Ti gaming oc

Samsung 980 pro 1TB (installed in the M2_1)

I recently installed another 980 pro 2TB in the M2_2 (FROM CPU) and changed it to the M2_3 (FROM CHIPSET) after deleting the volume so it won’t be on the same PCIE bandwidth as the GPU and the first SSD.

I experienced FPS drop on both the M2_2 and M2_3.

Can someone help ?

if your playing online multiplayer ,
the FPS is first and foremost dependent on your PIING (latency)
second on your GPU and last on your CPU.
i'm talking of 15 years experience
like in mw2 , if you got a ping of 90 your FPS is gonna be 120+
but if your latency crawls above 110 then your FPS drops .
very doubtlful if it's dependent on your
new SSD
unless your mainboard is low tier provides limited Bandwidth and so your FPS drops .
get a better motherboard.

Okey,
I Will check my latency and how would I know if my motherboard provides limited bandwidth ?

You have one more BIOS version pending update, that being said, what games are we looking at here? Use Samsung's Magician app and see if your SSD's have firmware updates pending.
I’m currently playing Hogwarts Lagacy on ultra settings 120+ fps and now about 80 fps.
I will update my BIOS and check the Samsung magician as you said.

i would suppose a B motheboard provides less bandwidth comparing with X motherboards.
i could be wrong though , but i don't think i am in this regard.
my asus motherboard gives an option to "fully harness GPU" (bandwidth) disabling a similar option in your MSI motherboard (maybe) gives you more room for your SSD's and other pcie cards.
