Question My RX6600XT is getting 10-30% less fps compared to my friends RTX2060s.

[Vendetta975]

My RX6600XT is getting 10-30% less fps compared to my friends RTX2060s, and as far as I know my card should be performing better than the RTX card. In apex legends I am getting around 140-210 fps on all low settings compared to my friends 250-300 fps. in Valorant I am getting around 180-300 in game compared to my friends 300 average. as well as in other games my fps falls short.

FULL PC SPECS:
CPU- I5 12400F
GPU- RX6600XT
RAM-I have 2 different brand rams, one transcend and one kingston. Kingston(2666mhz) Transcend(3200mhz) none of these support xmp. and yes I have them in dual channel.
PSU-DeepCool DN500 500w
MotherBoard-B760M D3HP
NVM-e SSD-Patriot P300 512GB

I was expecting way better performance with this card and I am kind of disappointed 🙁

and your friend have the same exact spec except the gpu?

No, his specs are a bit different.He has H610 Motherboard and CL22 3200mhz RAM, also 600w psu and same ssd but 1TB. Although my pc should not be underperforming this bad even Though other specs are a bit worse.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

RAM-I have 2 different brand rams, one transcend and one kingston. Kingston(2666mhz) Transcend(3200mhz) none of these support xmp. and yes I have them in dual channel.
This is where you're losing out on performance from your build, you should be on a dual channel, tight latencied DDR4-3200MHz ram kit, instead of mixing and matching(which is the same as working with two different sized tires on your car). You didn't even mention your am capacity.

MotherBoard-B760M D3HP
What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?

PSU-DeepCool DN500 500w
Horrible unit, replace immediately.

Sort out what I've mentioned above, then use DDU to remove all GPU drivers(Intel, Nvidia and AMD) in Safe Mode, then manually install the latest GPU driver sourced from AMD's support site in an elevated command and you should be in better waters.

Thank you for the help sir!

Then your buddy has better CPU than you do, which is enough to offset slightly weaker GPU compared to yours.

E.g build comparison;
Userbenchmark PC Build Comparison

Baseline Bench: Game 108%, Desk 104%, Work 102%
CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F
GPU: AMD RX 6600-XT
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro M.2 2TB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB

Alternative Bench: Game 125%, Desk 121%, Work 138%
CPU: Intel Core i5-14600K
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060S (Super)
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro M.2 2TB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB

Baseline is essentially your build, except different (better) SSD and RAM.
Alternative build is with better CPU (which can work on H610 chipset MoBo), a bit weaker GPU but same SSD and RAM. Despite that, build as a whole, is better than yours is. Hence the diff.

And yes, your PSU is bad one.
Better to get Seasonic Focus/Vertex/PRIME, Corsair RMx/RMi/HXi/AXi or Super Flower Leadex Gold/Platinum/Titanium.

Esports titles are often more CPU dependent than GPU dependent.

Then, bloatware can make a diff. Malware too.

Also, there's the fact that some games are more optimized to run on Radeon GPUs and others on Nvidia GPUs.
Usually, Radeon GPUs has it worse off, by having optimization to far less games than Nvidia GPU.

All that combined, can very well make the diff.

Oh, silicone lottery too is a thing. Especially when it comes to OC.
Heck, OC alone (CPU and GPU) can make quite a diff. Now, i5-12400F doesn't have unlocked multiplier. But one can still make all cores run at full turbo at all times, thus giving an edge (with a cost of higher power consumption and far higher temperatures, while reducing CPU lifespan).

All-in-all, don't compare your system with others. Be happy with what you have. If you want more FPS, buy better CPU and GPU.

Btw, what's your monitor refresh rate?

165 hz, I am not concerned about the fps I just expected a lot more performance from this build and judging from youtube benchmarks with the same build it should perform a lot better.

You can contact that YT video uploader and ask how they got that FPS with that kind of hardware.

165 hz

So, anything above 165 FPS is wasted, since you're not going to see those frames regardless.

E.g i have 144 Hz monitor and i'm good with FPS anywhere 60-144. I can manage ~40 FPS as well.
FPS any higher than monitor refresh rate is waste of CPU and GPU performance. Better cap the FPS at monitor refresh rate and don't let the CPU/GPU to utilize fully, wasting electricity and generating more heat than needed. Also, it would help in terms of component lifespan.
