So basically I am really think this starterd happening after I changed my cpus thermel paste and had a problem with that because the cooler just ripped my ryzen 5 2600 out of the stock and bent a pin but I managed to bend it back but now with my rtx 2060 I'm getting in GTA and in red dead redemption about 55 fps and I got 65 more at least a week ago. And I noticed that my CPU usage is higher pretty sure. The temps on both gpu and CPU are good. Any fix?

Well if you changed your thermal paste that means you undid all the prior settings you had on your set up in bios. Have you looked at the settings like cpu setting, ram settings, power settings etc? Also you may have changed the windows power settings which would affect gaming. I would also review your settings in your Nvidia control panel and make sure the 3d settings, refresh rate ,resolution etc are correct. If your computer posts without any problem I really do not think you have a cpu problem, it is more likely a settings problem. Do you use Msi Afterburner? That can help with giving your gpu more fps too.

I have same Card and R5 1600AF which is basically same CPU. I can say with 100% certainty that CPU clock and RAM speed can make a 10fps difference easily. Sounds like CPU and RAM are not running at optimal settings.

What's your RAM?
Motherboard type brand?
