I have an rtx 3060 mai gaming x trio and an i7 2600. Now i know that i have a bottleneck but i used to play battlefield 1, forza horizon 5, cod warzone, modern warfare 2 and far cry 5 with stable 60 fps on high settings somehow. I was launching forza horizon 5 when my entire pc froze for a few seconds and ever since i have been getting alot of stutters and frequent frame drops plus lower fps than before. I want to know whether it is my gpu or my cpu or if it is something else that has been damaged or affected. I changed my hard drive after that but the problem still persists. Is there any way to test the gpu on its own to know if its causing the issue since its still under warranty. If its my cpu i wouldnt mind since im getting another one soon but i dont want the warranty to end before i find the cause.

Have you check CPU temps? What CPU cooler are you using?

All my temperatures are in the normal range. Nothing is too high. I have an intel cooler which isnt much but i dont think it could cause this drastic change in performance. I have also noticed that my vran usage is high sometimes in warzone. I haven't tested the other games yet.

CoD utilizes extra vram if it's available and shouldn't be an issue. The issue could be any number of things. You said you replaced the drive. Did you reinstall Windows after replacing?
 
I want to add that i have noticed my gpu spiking to 100 for a second causing frame drops every now and then. Can this be caused by the cpu bottleneck, or does that mean that the gpu itself is faulty? The cpu spikes too during these frame drops, but it is usually at a higher usage anyways
 
I just completed a benchmark using unigine superposition at extreme settings and good a result of 4986 with max temperature of 64 and no stutters or frame drops. The only other benchamrk of this card online git a 5350 score but had a ryzen 5 5600X 6 core processor. Does this mean that my gpu is fine and is not faulty? Can the gpu spikes during gameplay be caused by the cpu bottleneck?

Yes.

Why don't you run userbenchmark.com and link the results.

A sudden drop in performance would indicate throttling. What are your temps while gaming? What are you using to monitor temps?

I use msi afterburner and sometimes task manager.
My gpu almost never gets over 65 degrees and my cpu reaches about 80 degrees celcius.
I did the benchmark again in full screen
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/66498298
I noticed 1 frame drop to 4 fps during the ram testing and it ran on 20 fps for a few seconds during the ram testing as well.

Your SSD is slower than a spinning drive!! What's the health of the SSD? Can you try another SATA port?

Also, is this the same PSU from 2012?

No i changed my psu to an msi psu. I am pretty sure my motherboard is limiting the ssd since its from 2012. The ssd is brand new and i have tested it with samsung's software and had no issues. I dont think i have any other sata ports at the moment. Also can we now say that the problem is not the gpu? Because as long as its functioning properly any other issue would be alot less problematic for me at the moment since i dont want it to be faulty and break down completely after warranty ends. If its a cpu or motherboard issue, I am going to replace them both soon and get new ram as well.

I have also noticed that when playing rainbow six siege and cs2 i dont have any issues even on high settings. I have not tested battlefield 1 or forza horizon 5 after getting the new ssd.

Run ubm like this.
Reboot.
Wait a few mins.
Run ubm with the browser closed.
Post a link.

You need to find out what is running that is causing all that background.

I ended all windows unrelated tasks and ran a benchmark but got the same results. Its probably because my old motherboard cant handle the speed and maybe because im using an old SATA port.
 
Also i want to correct a previous statement. Although it is strue that the fps slowed down a bit during ram testing, i experienced the same thing with one bad frame drop during cpu testing
 
Now i noticed that while playing warzone both cpu and gpu usage drop to almost zero for a millisecond, causing frame drops then. When that isnt the case, cpu usage is between 60 and 80 while gpu usage is around 50. If the problem was a bottleneck wouldnt the cpu usage be 100? And i also noticed that playing on ultra settings with ray tracing and playing on the lowest settings almost gives the same frames per second. I am pretty sure that something broke on the day when my game froze and all games started giving me lower fps with frame drops. It is not the ssd that is causing the issue. When swapping to my old gtx 750 ti i seem to be getting stable fps on a square monitor and lower settings, but i dont think that the rtx 3060 is the problem since the benchmarks saw normal results for it. Is it possible that the gpu is the problem? How can i make sure that it isnt?
 
Sometimes the problem is that both cpu and gpu usage drop really low and i get a frame drop. Sometimes the problem is that gpu usage drops and cpu usage spikes at the same time. Other times the problem is that they both spike at the same time. Even when the game is not stuttering it isnt smooth at all although both usages are not at max or near max. This depends on the game but im starting to see that gpu usage drops cause most of this.
