Okay first off here are my specs

PNY Rtx 2060 6GB OC edition
Ryzen 5 3600
4x4GB patriot skill viper at 3000mhz
Asrock b450 steel legend
650W PSU

SO, me and my brother have completely identical builds down to RAM speed and everything. the only difference is the manufacturer of the 2060. He has a Zotac dual fan while I have the PNY single fan 2060. Same exact game (Apex Legends) same exact in game settings (all low). Well, we have about a 50-60 fps performance difference at some times and even jn the drop ship im sitting at 60 fps while he gets 120. Same thing with COD Cold War a 30-40 fps difference. We put my 2060 (PNY) in his build and it performed exactly like it should. No issues what so ever. We then put his Zotac 2060 into my build and it performed like my PNY, pretty low fps at some times.

So far I’ve tried, fresh installing windows, reseating the card, fresh installing drivers, clearing the cmos, and reinstalling the game. We’ve monitored gpu usage, cpu usage, temps its all pretty much the same. My brain has run out of options so I’ve come here. Like I said we put my card in his build and it performed exactly like it should. NOTE: I did purchase my card used but what would that change? It was used probably a handful of times it looked brand spanking new. I also benchmarked my build it said performing as expected with no issues that jumped out at me.
