Hello!

I am relatively new to PC building and I was having a super frustrating problem that has been going on for a long time (2 years). This problem is that the PC would perform as expected right after I update my drivers or reinstall them. After a day, the performance would decrease dramatically (Ex. from 90 fps to 40 on Fornite) so my temporary fix would be using AMD Driver Uninstaller and reinstall new drivers and this cycle continued for 2 years. 2 weeks ago I upgraded from a Gigabyte Radeon RX 550 D5 2gb to a XFX RX 590 Fatboy OC+ in hopes that the problem was a defective GPU but currently with a new GPU I'm still experiencing much lower frames than expected in games like COD Warzone and Fortnite. Frames on Warzone ranged from 30-65 and Fortnite 50-90. My PC no longer degrades in performance after a day like before but the performance is wayyy below what I was hoping for.

 

I tried to fix this by updating BIOS to Gigabyte F31. I also tried DDU and reinstalling updated drivers (Adrenaline 20.4.1). Am I bottlenecking?? I'm not sure what else to try so any help would be appreciated!

 

Specs:

MONITOR - HP 27es 60Hz

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1600

MOBO - Gigabyte GA-AB350M-D3H

GPU - XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy OC+

PSU - EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W

RAM - DDR4 Patriot Viper Elite 2400Mhz 16GB (2x8GB)

SSHD - Seagate FireCuda 2TB SSHD

OS - Win 10 Pro 64-Bit

 

If you need anymore information just ask :)

Not bottlenecking.

What are temperatures and clocks under load for the CPU?

Sorry I'm pretty nooby at PC things, are there any recommendations to CPU tests or games that I can monitor these things? I have MSI afterburner with overlay if that helps.
