I have been playing Valorant recently and I can get up to 100(capped) fps, can reach around 105ish fps uncapped but there are also a lot of drops to ~40fps when a lot is happening and consistent drops to below 60fps. I use MSI Afterburner and RTSS and in game my CPU usage reaches 100% and my GPU usage is all over the place and changes a lot from 0-100% and anything in between. I have the latest drivers for my GPU and CPU, updated using Radeon Software. My GPU temperature reaches a maximum of 55 degrees C.

Performance like this is unusual because some of my friends are not having this problem, with similar/worse specs and I believe my PC should easily be able to run this game at over 100fps, especially at lowest settings. The game also detects my monitor as a 3840×2160 but it is a 1920 x 1080 monitor, 1920 x 1080 is the in game resolution.

These are readings from CPUID HWmonitor, Google chrome open with 4 tabs, Discord and Radeon Software open in the background. I have also played a game of Valorant around 20 minutes ago, if that even affects any of these readings?

Could It be that I accidentally changed a setting in Radeon Software which caused this, which I doubt. But in that case, would this button help at all? https://prnt.sc/rxvgqt
