FPS drop, am I CPU limited?

gius_ · April 2, 2020

Hi, i've just upgraded the GPU in my rig but i'm trying games and i can't stable fps. Even in league of legends that should be pretty easy to run i see sometimes freezing, and a huge fps drop that in league is from 140 to 40/50, but in games like jedi fallen order or FFXV means drops from 60fps to 15/20. And it doesn't matter what graphc quality i put, on the contrary if i set the graphic on ultra is more stable than low settings. I'm noticing that the gpu usage goes from 100% to 0% in seconds, and it's never stable. On the other side the cpu is still at 60%/70%.

Here's my spec:

CPU AMD FX 8320
CPU COOLER arctic freezer 13 co
MOTHERBOARD Asus m5a97 LE R2.0
GPU XFX RX570
RAM Kingston Fury DDR3 8gb (unico banco)
PSU THERMALTAKE ALIM. SMART SE 530W MODULARE
SDD Kingston 240gb
HDD WD Blue da 1tb
CASE Itek Replay 2.0

I tried overclocking, i have kinda good temperature so a didn't mind push it to 4.2 mhz (like a 8350), probably i did something wrong but i can't let this gpu work properly. I really don't want to buy new mobo and cpu so i'd really love to find a solution, I don't play that much so i don't care about the resolution i just need that the game is playable even at very low.
