It could be the PSU 

What PSU do you have?

How old is it ?

Have you tried ddu ?

And have you checked your temps

Nope, weak performance is just that, performance.

 

Your new GPU is quite a step up from your old GPU. What is your power supply? Please don't just name brand, wattage, and rating.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

if it's only a specific game giving you problems, perhaps it's a driver conflict. Did you remove old drivers? If not, use DDU to clean out the old radeon drivers.

My issue is still not resolved just now i got this issue even in forza horizon 4 after setting graphics it to 1080p ultra...could it be because of motherboard because sometimes my computer doesn't switch on if i don't use it for around 1 week. @Fasauceome @TofuHaroto

idk the only thing left in my mind is either reinstalling windows ( as getting new hardware might cause windows to freak out) or updating the bios

Even if the power supply is new, it could still be defective. Currently thinking you are looking at a defective board or defective PSU.
