Hey!

So while I'm playing games, more specifically CS:GO and Ghost Recon Breakpoint, I have gotten major frame drops every 10 seconds.
Now, I updated my driver two weeks ago in hopes that it would fix it, it did not.
Again, today I updated to the driver that came out on the 25th/Oct and I still get the same problem.
I tried stress testing it in radeon software and got this:

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x (with basic bios boost, 3.8Ghz)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Nitro+ OC 8 GB
RAM: HyperX Predator 3000mhz 2x8GB CL15
MB: ASUS TUF X470-Plus Gaming
PSU: Corsair CX650M Bronze


Temperatures while playing is well within normal.

PSU problem?
I haven't the faintest idea.

Hey there,

What power plan are you running? You might switch from Ryzen balanced to High performance and see if that helps.

You might also confirm all of your system drivers are up to date (specially chipset drivers - as these have the latest Ryzen power plas), and bios too.
My power plan was balanced, have now changed it to high performance.
My drivers are up to date: https://gyazo.com/f9f63d0454cf2a98242ed15fb5173f46
My bios is not up to date, It hasn't been changed since I bought the motherboard, which came up to date in 2018.
I've always been a bit afraid of doing the bios update, since I've heard a few too many horror stories.

Whilst it's possible to mess up a bios update, it's very unlikely. It's not hard to do. Given your is so old, it's possible the bios update would solve your issue.

Here's a guide for it:
