Need help with computer barley running games with good components

[Silent_arrow]

I have a computer with a ryzen 7 1700x, rx 5700xt, 32gb of ram and all solid state storage, but when i run games i usually get barley 60-70 fps at 1080p medium-high settings and the cpu and gpu utilization only at 30-40% and ram at 15gb used. I have all latest drivers and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas to help.

 

edit: i was also getting way better performance with my 1060 6gb

What framerate does your monitor have? If your monitor supports freesync and it only goes up to 60-75 hz, then your GPU will detect that and intentionally not try to go past 60-75 fps in most games since it's a waste of power. You won't notice a difference above that point anyway because the monitor can't display it.

is your ram running at its rated speed? or did you forget to set XMP

its only 60 fps but the frame rate isn't constant and the drops are very noticeable when gaming

If the monitor is only 60 fps then your GPU isn't going to try to go above that, so you shouldn't worry if you aren't getting more than 60 fps. Not sure why you would be getting random drops though. When it does drop, what framerate does it drop to? Also what games are you playing where you experience this issue?

it drops to around 30 fps most of the time and pretty much every game i play i also forgot to mention i had a 1060 6gb and it didn't have there problems and had better performance witch shouldn't be the case

When you swapped your GPU from Nvidia to AMD, did you make sure to completely remove the old Nvidia drivers, and then install the proper AMD drivers for the GPU?
