[SOLVED] Low FPS in CS2 and other games ?

[Walky_117]

Specs:

• GPU: RX 7600 XT (upgraded from GTX 1050ti)
• CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
• RAM: 16GB
• Motherboard: B450M
• Power Supply: 650W

Background:

I recently upgraded my GPU from a GTX 1050ti to an RX 7600 XT and applied new thermal paste with a good CPU cooler. My temperatures are now around 35-40°C at idle and 70-75°C while gaming, so no more thermal throttling.

The Issue:

Before the upgrade, I used to get 90-120 FPS in CS2 with the 1050ti. Now, with the RX 7600 XT, I'm only getting 100-130 FPS, which is a minimal improvement and much lower than I expected. This same issue applies to other games as well.

Some AAA games which I also tried but I think they're fine (You guys can tell me about the expected FPS, but I thought this was good) are:

• Halo Infinite: 110-144 FPS on ultra settings
• Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order: 65-105 FPS on ultra
• Battlefield 1: 144-160 FPS on ultra

I’m out of ideas and really worried about why I’m not seeing the performance improvement I should be getting with this new GPU.

Fixes I've Tried:

1. Moved games to SSD
2. Clean reinstalled drivers using DDU
3. Reinstalled Windows and formatted everything
4. XMP activated in BIOS
5. Applied new thermal paste and installed a new CPU cooler (temps are good now)
6. Activated ReBar
7. Power options on high performance

PS: I used ChatGPT for the above post, don't blame me i'm done with this error. Me n my friends are trying from like 2 to 3 days, a perfectly new GPU and CPU still fail to deliver. i need help guys....

run some cpu benchmark so we can see your cpu is operating properly
userbenchmark should do fine in this case

This was the benchmark result.

It's written that no SSD detected, even though I have my OS installed on the SSD.

Can you please review the entire benchmark and let me know?

so your bottleneck is your single stick of ram

so your bottleneck is your single stick of ram

Oh alright. So should I go for another stick of 16 with it or get two new 8s or maybe entirely new 16s?

Also not important here after but can you please explain to me how one stick of ram bottlenecks the performance?
I'm curious

@kerberos_20 Thank you so much man! You're a lifesaver, and I could say it LITERALLY! This fixed everything for me, Jedi Fallen Order Constant FPS from 120 to 144, CS2 now gives 170 to 280, and AC Origins gives 80 to 90 on Ultra. All other games are working fine too! Thankyou so much!
