5600 XT Stutter and Frame Loss

Rilenator1 · April 1, 2020

Hello, I recently just bought brand new Radeon RX 5600 XT, I have been playing around with it setting it to it’s e-sports settings and when I play COD Warzone or Fallout 76, my game stutters a little bit with occasional frame drops (More in Fallout). I just bought this new card and was really looking for some good performance for 1080p gaming but I have no idea what is going on. I just recently installed the new Bios for it as well.

My Specs Are:

- Ryzen 1500X 4 Core OC to 3.95Ghz

- 8GB of Gloway 2400mhz Ram

- Radeon rx 5600 xt

- Asus Rog Strix B350-f Gaming Motherboard

- Seasonic 650Watt PSU

-1Tb Westen Digital Hard Drive

-120Gb Samsung SSD

Here's a list of things that could be wrong:

1. If your games are on the HDD than it's quite possible that's the issue.

2. The single stick of relatively slow ram also may be the potential issue (Ryzen performs better with dual channel and fast ram).

3. Also check your thermals to make sure the problem isn't overheating components.

1x8GB, I take it? Definitely killing performance.

I have monitored my thermals and they seem to be doing fine, is it possible to OC my ram from 2400 to 2666 or higher?

I am definitely not an expert in overclocking, so I can't tell but I do know that adding a second stick (same model and brand) would definitely benefit the system. Also getting an SSD to store your games would improve the experience quite a bit.
