well i did run msi after burner to check temps. they were fine. around high 60s. also i discovered erratic CPU usage when i play cs go or valorant which it dit not happen before i switched GPU
I recently purchased rx 5500xt from an r9 380.
I know 5500xt is not the best purchase but it's the cheapest around and cheaper than the 1650 or the 1660.
anyways. After DDuing the drivers and installing new one. the FPS on valorant swings from 170 down to single digit which is frustrating to say the least.
anyone have an idea what the heck is happening.
PS: i did try basic troubleshooting and nothing seems to work as of right now.
any advice would be appreciated!
I did some basic troubleshooting such as changing cords, no running software whatso ever. I dont have any RGB crap running. I got only one thing that i sus of. do you think its the psu?
Though the problem does not occur when gaming or just browsing in general. Just when streaming youtube like around 10-15 mins straight and the PC just straight out momentarily freezes then Black screens and then repeating sounds from youtube comes in.
I even don't know if the issue is within the CPU, RAM, or memory. The PC justs randomly Green screen without crash dump text, picture, whatsoever just plain good ole green screen and i do not know how to start diagnosing.
what's your budget?
if you can shell out some cash get a TR-1920x
here are some price list from amd and they just recently cut price.
if your living in US, this is some killer deals
If heat and Power consumption not a problem. id personally go for 8700k the superior clock and lil bit IPC deficit for ryzen make up for the core deficit but in exchange for upgradability in the near future. but if you can stretch a bit of your cash. id pesonally go for TR4
Unless you're doing AVX heavy stuff especially AVX 512. where infact, its full bandwidth is only available on 7900x and above then go for intel. If not, Thread Ripper is your best bet and the r7.
