system / gpu not fully utilized during gameplay

[Laciachan]

Hey, I have an RX 6800 (non-XT) that isn't fully utilizing itself. It won't hit my 240Hz FPS limit unless I use Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC) in the driver settings. Using FRTC helps the card reach the limit in most games, but neither the GPU nor my CPU is fully utilized, so I don't think there's a bottleneck especially considering my system is able to do it just only with FRTC enabled for some reason.

I posted about this on the AMD forums, but it got labeled as "malicious" and was removed for spam.

example 
Overwatch 2: 140 - 170 FPS low utilization > FRTC enabled = 240 fps better utilization 
 

Here are my specs:

• Motherboard: MSI B550M Pro VDH Wi-Fi, BIOS: 7C95v2K
• Graphics Card: Radeon RX 6800 (319 Swift)
• CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X (PBO+200)
• RAM: 4x 8GB G.Skill F4-3600C16-8GTZRC 3600MHz (Single Rank)
• Power Supply: Corsair CV750 Bronze, connected by pigtail to the GPU
• Windows 11 23H2 3737
• AMD Adrenaline 24.7.1 

The card does have a dual BIOS switch, but it's just dual normal BIOS as far as I know.

Honestly, I'm not sure what's causing the issue since clean Windows and driver installs didn't help.

is xmp enabled ?

is resize bar enabled ?

try disabling windows game mode.

 

Can you check pci e version by gpu/cpu z ?

How are the temps doing ?

[Laciachan]

XMP enabled 
SAM enabled
Temps are looking fine even with zero RPM mode on (which is what I have)
disabling game mode doesn't appear to make a difference

What does the per core use look like? Do you have any cores that are maxed out?
