Hello everyone

I've been having a lot of problems with my GPU. Drivers that crash my games and even the pc completely. (this seems to be solved)

Lately I have experienced a massive drop in fps while playing World of Warcraft.

Using MSI Afterburner monitoring while I play I've notice everything is normal until the game is on a heavy load with a lot of mobs and spells. In that specific moment the gpu usage and frequency drops massively to almost nothing (1%-3% usage) and even freeze my game sometimes for like 10 sec.

I will appreciate any ideas about what to check or if someone is experiencing similar issues.

Thanks in advance.-

Full PC Specs:

Motherboard: Asus A320M K
CPU: Ryzen 5 3400g
Ram: 8gbx2 2666mhz Kingston Fury
GPU: Radeon RX 6500XT
Storage: SSD 480gb Adata su630
PSU: Sentey snp650 gs

Ryzen 5 3400g is probably the problem.

No video card turn all your settings to low and off.

Hmm I just posted once. I'm only seeing this one.
 
RX 6500 XT running on PCI-e3.0 holds back the performance.

DOCP enabled in the BIOS of the motherboard?

Motherboard BIOS fully up to date?

Remove the Radeon driver with DDU and install again.
Docp Is enabled. Alredy tried a lot of driver versions. The older ones are the ones that crashes my game and even the PC completely.

The bios version is 5409 now that I check.
You think that can cause the GPU to drop like that?
