So I recently upgraded from a Zotac 3060 and AMD Ryzen 7 3700x to a Radeon 6950XT and Ryzen 9 5900x and found that my computer has been having some performance issues. It's slightly slower, a bit more laggy, and some games look choppy. I uninstalled all the Nvidia drivers using DDU and installed all the necessary AMD drivers but the problem persists. I played around in the BIOS to see if anything could help me there but found no luck there either. I don't know what to do besides do a fresh install of Windows but the problem is so minute it doesn't warrant it. It ran UserBenchmark to see where my rig stood and both my CPU and GPU are underperforming. IDK what to do.

UserBenchmark is a piece of junk.

 

What frequency your Memory/RAM running at?

Enable XMP (aka A-XMP, DOCP .... depending on what motherboard you have).

 

Make sure your motherboard BIOS is up-to-date.

AGESA updates bring improved stability, and performance fixes, etc.

user benchmark is not a reliable source

Try a diffrent benchmark

UserBench is fantastic for comparing a card against itself, but it isn't good at comparing 2 different cards. Both of you are wrong.

It's just as bad looking at GPU results.

It says both my 5700 XT and RTX 3060 Ti are underperforming when comparing against itself.

 

Then try to compare a RTX 3080 with a 6800 XT.

Results are opposite of actual reviewers' results.

The description / reasoning is just stupid.

Quote

Without drastic price cuts (MSRP $650 USD) and miraculous marketing via countless promo videos and sponsored reviews, the 6800 XT will struggle to compete, partly because it lacks RTX+DLSS which is required for the best gaming experience in class leading titles such as Cyberpunk 2077. 

 

Users should be wary of AMD’s army of social media accounts, they aim to dupe shoppers any way they can.
