Help, I have tried everything!!!!

[Kosmolol]

I have recently got an rx6600 and all I had are problems, I have it paired with an i5-8500, an I have low power consumption and low utilization of the gpu and cpu in fortnite, and I am now in a match with bots in cs go, and I am noticing the same, and It s barely drawing 35w, anyone know how to fix, I wouldn t like to return it!
RX6600 I5-8500 h310m pro vdh plus 16gb ram corsair vengeance 2666mhz dual channel Windows 10 Pro os build 19045.2486 version 22H2
Power supply corsair rm550x fully modular bought brand new, 550w, I bought it like 2-3 months ago, for this gpu
system disk kingston SA400 240gb 164 free of 222gb
games disk kingston SKC600 512gb 55gb free of 476gb
I am trying to heavy game, story games and stuff, but also fortnite, cs go, rocket league, these older competitive titles, these titles are the ones that I am seeing my problem in

Are you only having issues with low power usage? are you having issues playing?

Yes, only low power issues, and low gpu utilization it doesn t go over 70% while cpu is at 90, I did everything on youtube, and nothing, I have my power limit to +20 in amd adrenalin, I cannot get it over 30w

your complaining about low power usage? thats not a good thing unless you wanna heat your room lol. 

1. Check if your games are using the rx6600 and not the intel gpu in your cpu. 

2. Check if your drivers are up to date for amd. 

3. Check if your drivers are up to date for intel. 

4. You have unlimited frame cap on for fortnite, actually capping your frames will help you. cuz your trying to make your gpu and cpu go batshit load for a battle royal game and max out the fps. 37 percent is fine honestly for fortnite in 1080p low-mid settings, and i cant believe your only drawing 35w, what exactly is drawing that? because your cpu can do that alone by just being turned on, how are you measuring the tdp of the pc?

I was thinking along those lines to, maybe a bug in the metrics program he's using to monitor, his pics shows 95fps, could on board intel gpu push that many frames?

Alright, I need a LOT more data here. 
First, are you dissatisfied with the *actual* performance you're getting? Like, is there stuttering and tearing? Are there big frame rate drops? 
Next, I'd want to see a full set of data off something like HWMonitor so we can see if there are any glaring issues. 
Then we can talk about optimization or potentially identifying a faulty component

What's your CPU per core usage? To me it sounds like what you said above and:

this mean your CPU just isn't keeping up in more CPU heavy games.

GPU utilization is low because you're playing on a low resolution (1080p) using a low end CPU (6 cores without hyperthreading, 4-5 generations old) meaning there's a bottleneck.

 

You can try using InSpectre to disable Spectre and Meltdown CPU hogs and use a tool like CPUBalance to schedule the cores a bit better.

And disable Ultra Low Power State ULPS of the 6600. Both sghould grant you a few % of usage more and a few % framedrops less.

1 I don t know what u said there, sorry

2 I have an 8500

3 Can you guide me through ?

1.

GPU Utilization = the percent your graphics card is being used, 98-100% means it's completely used.

1080p (1920x1080) is a low resolution. Modern resolutions are 1440p (2560x1440) and 4K (3820x2160) and those between them (ultrawide) or higher (5K).

A low end CPU (Cental Processing Unit, Processor) means just that. A weak part not meant for modern gaming. A cheap and usually old CPU.

6 cores without HT means just that, your processor has 6 cores, consider that like it consists of 6 single-core processors.

4-5 generations old means after the 8000 Intel series came the 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000 and now the latest 13000. Technically the 8/9 can be considered same generation, as well the 10/11 can be considered the same and now 12/13 are really close.

A bottleneck means simply the CPU isn't powerful enough to pre-render (prepare) enough frames for the GPU to render. Meaning, the CPU can't feed the GPU properly.

 

2. I know you have an i5 8500.

 

3. Through what? Usinfg something as simple as InSpectre? Nope, I already wrote enough for me to bother writing more. Sorry. You'll have to figure it out.

Can you at least tell me what 8th or 9th gen cpu would be best for this gpu?

i7 8700K for the 8th generation. Or the stronger i9 9900K.

The i7 8700K has the same number of cores as your i5 but it has hyperthreading which helps a lot (virtual cores; 6 cores 12 threads).

The i9 9900K would probably burn your motherboard. 

Both of them would burn a hole in your wallet to be blunt. Old and used, but still keeping a high price on the used market.

You're better off upgrading the platform, keeping the ddr4 you have and going with, for example, a Ryzen 5 5600 with a B550 motherboard.

 

Edit: the 8700K would still probably bottleneck a tiny bit, it's comparable to Ryzen 5 3600X, a nice bit weaker than a Ryzen 5 5600.

The other way you could go is - a 1440p 144Hz monitor. The i5 8500 would bottleneck a lot less since the 6600 would have to render at a higher resolution (so it needs less prerendered frames).
