Hi all, Ever since i got my pc I have been having horrible fps compared to identical spec pcs. I am on a
RX 6700 XT and a Ryzen 5 3600. I have tried many things, fresh graphics drivers, many performance tweaks in games but no matter what my fps doesnt go up. One trend i have noticed is in any game that my fps is low in, in my radeon software the gpu and cpu util are both at numbers below 30%. I have tried to render the games in both 8k and 480p, the fps output is the same. I have also noted that when I am overlooking a large area my fps tanks really hard, like from 50 in some games to 13-15.Im coming to the forum to look for guidance on what i can do to get my pc back to normal. (I get like 30fps in Sons of the Forest and like 15 in Apex, 30-50 in Rust based on the scene)
Thanks

Specs:

First check in your bios to make sure your ram is running at 3200mhz. What resolution and refresh rate are you using? Have you tried running a video test like unengine heaven and use gpuz to monitor power usage? Are you using any game or gpu app to overclock like MSI Afterburner?
