Are you using a modded NVFlash with certificate bypass enabled?

Because it sucks at overclocking?

That's not a problem if the card cost $200 or lower

Now I know why some RX 7600 get slight price cut to $250.

Few things to disable when AMD driver misbehave. 1. Disable MPO. Yes this issue applies to Nvidia GPU as well but not as widespread. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5157/~/after-updating-to-nvidia-game-ready-driver-461.09-or-newer%2C-some-desktop-apps 2. Disable HAGS 3. Disable Hardware Acceleration (Internet browser, Steam, Discord, etc) 4. Disable automatic Windows Driver update. Sometime windows update will override AMD driver from AMD.com Don't forget to reboot. Also I noticed Radeon is more sensitive to system memory instability. Try clean and reseat your RAM or drop the timing/overclock.

Check your cooler mounting, those stock coolers stand off clip was known to get easily broken and causing mounting pressure issue. My 3770 rarely reach 90c on gaming load with stock cooler, never thermal throttle unless I overclock it. Try open the side panel and see if it improve your CPU temperature.

I probably need to sell my system in couple of month if my situation doesn't improve or get worse.

Your CPU was thermal throttling, change the thermal paste.

Those spec shouldn't have problem running Windows 7 imo, maybe your HDD is dying or too slow. Try get an SSD. As for distro recommendation, maybe Manjaro XFCE.

It use Creation Engine, it will be bug city at launch imo.

Temperature of your CPU and GPU when the frame drops happen.

Easy. GPU limited game = GPU bottleneck CPU limited game = CPU bottleneck

Passive GT710? Did you check the thermal of your CPU and GPU?

No.

Did you set Afterburner to show per process VRAM usage? Or this is Afterburner default setting which show total VRAM allocation?

The difference is negligible in my country, electric is quite cheap here.

Yes. Expect similar or slightly higher power consumption with the XT but not a deal breaker I think.

This model support Freesync Premium so no problem there. This doesn't seem to support Adaptive-Sync/VRR at all so no problem as well. Can you check what is your current idle GPU power consumption?

If it not a "G-sync Compatible" monitor then I'm afraid you won't be able to use VRR on AMD graphic card. What model is your monitor?

IIRC you need to set individual group for each of them in RTSS setting/editor.

Give it a try if the software support HEVC on the Radeon iGPU, don't bother if it only support H264/AVC.

1. Check event viewer for any crash dump related to it. 2. Check if there's any log file in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\F1 23\ 3. Does this game required Origin to run in the background? Try reinstall it.

What graphic card you using?

Try check if you accidentally enabled Admin Approval Mode in Group Policy.
