Unknown Framerate Drops

[Blazed on a Kayak]

Hi, Last week I upgraded my GFX card to an RX 5700 XT. Although my PC should be more than capable of running games like DOOM (2016) and Warzone im getting frequent frame drops. They vary between 2 and 10 fps and I'm not sure the cause of it. I have tried lowering the graphics settings and it does help but I still occasionally get fps drops. All drivers are updated and Vsync is on for all games.

 

PC componants

GFX: RX 5700XT

CPU: R5 2600x

16gb 3200 RAM

27" HD monitor 60hz (not sure about the response time I'd say around 15-12 ms)

 

Ive boiled the problem down to a couple of things however they both may be wrong. Number one could be a monitor bottleneck. This would be due to the fact that my GFX card is pushing so many frames the monitor cant keep up. Im not sure this is the whole issue as in some games I'm actually recording drops and in others im not (visual only drops being because of the monitor)

 

The second issue may be because of my CPU. It may be the individual games due to differences in system requirments or it could be a CPU bottleneck however Im not sure about this as they seem compatible.

All suggestions are appreciated

Did you DDU the GPU drivers before you switched the cards?

 

Is XMP enabled in the bios?
