Hi everyone.
When I play videogames, when it past like 5 minutes playing, the FPS drops every 15 seconds average.
In Red Dead Redemption 2 i got 70/80 FPS avg, the GPU temperatures reachs 70°C max (with 90/100% usage) and CPU 50°C max (with 30/50% usage), and every 15 seconds the FPS drops to 30/40.
In another games (like CSGO or Valorant it doesn't happen), I don't know what happen, drivers are update, I use Windows 11.
My PC: CPU Ryzen 7 5700G, GPU RX 570, RAM Corsair 16GB 2400MHz, PSU 550W Corsair, M2 1TB Kingston.
 
RAM Corsair 16GB 2400MHz
Single or Dual channel? Frame time inconsistency is to be expected for Ryzen at sub 3200C16 either way though, really. You could try framerate lock to 60fps and see if the frame time improves. There's FRTC for AMD but if you just want to try a quick dirty check you can use Radeon Chill just on Red Dead Redemption 2 to limit to 60 minimum and maximum. Mind you if you use FRTC, it applies GLOBALLY, including in games where you dont want it like aforementioned Valorant and CSGO.

Thank u for the answer.
I have single channel DDR4 2400MHz RAM, recently i noticed this metrics:

I have single channel
Yeah, about to be expected. Modern system needs Dual Channel for the best frame time in gaming. You can search a lot of benchmark on it but you're basically losing 10-20% of your 1% and .1% lows, the lowest of low the framerate goes sometimes when it happens.

Also the frequency behavior does match modern GPU behavior and I wouldn't rule it in as the problem just yet.
 
That's unfortunate,assuming you enabled XMP/DOCP in bios?

how much are 5700xt gpu's, affordable? Might be the next step.

Speaking of Bios are you on the latest bios for your motherboard?

Yea, I got XMP profile enabled at 3200MHz.
I think my next buy will be a RX 6700XT or RTX 3060.
I recently updated the BIOS, nothing changes.
