Hello, I'm a new member to the forum.I have some issues with my desktop computer's graphics card, and I wanted to share them with you by creating a topic because I don't know how to resolve these problems.

The current specifications of my desktop computer are as follows:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 six-Core 3.40 GHz
CPU cooler: AMD Stock Fan
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M S2H
Ram: Adata XPG Gammix D10 DDR4 3200MHz CL16 - 8 GB RAM (2X)
SSD/HDD: ADATA SU630 480 GB SSD
GPU: AMD Sapphire Pulse RX580 8 GB
PSU: High Power 600W 80+ Bronze ECO (HPE-600BR-A12S) I don't know the age of the PSU since I bought this computer second-hand.
Chassis: I don't remember the model of the case, but there are 5 fans in total, including the exhaust fan at the back.
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Monitor: Casper Excalibur E27QHD-G 27" 144Hz 1ms (HDMI+Display) FreeSync + G-Sync 2K QHD LED Monitor (2560x1440)


BIOS: American Megatrends International, LLC. F61c, 10.05.2021
SMBIOS Version: 3.3
BIOS Mode: UEFI

I constantly experience FPS issues while playing games on this computer. In an MMORPG game I play, my FPS drops to 20-35 when I change zones, even though I get 75-80 FPS normally. I can't achieve a good FPS performance in any game.

With the same system specifications as above, except for the graphics card being "Nvidia GeForce 1050Ti 4GB," everything runs very smoothly on my desktop computer. In the same MMORPG game, the Nvidia 1050Ti desktop computer achieves a minimum FPS value of around 230, while the RX580 with 75-80 FPS encounters drops in the game. The desktop computer with the Nvidia graphics card can smoothly play the game in all areas without experiencing drop issues.

Can I resolve these FPS issues with RX580, or should I consider purchasing a new Nvidia graphics card as the only solution?

By the way, my settings in AMD Adrenalin Edition are as follows: (When I set these settings to Default, my computer freezes and stops displaying after a few minutes of running. Therefore, I adjusted the settings below to make the graphics card work properly.)

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Did you try using DDU to remove all GPU drivers from your platform, then manually reinstalling the latest drivers sourced from AMD's support site, in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?

Thank you for your feedback. I have updated the content of the topic as you specified.

I haven't previously used DDU to uninstall graphics card drivers and perform a fresh installation from scratch. Do you think, to resolve the issue, I should use DDU to uninstall all GPU drivers and then download and install the driver suitable for RX580 from AMD's website?
