Poor perfomance after gpu upgrade

Go to solution Solved by Eigenvektor,

Install Intel PresentMon, enable the GPU Busy and CPU Busy metrics and run a few games. See if CPU Busy is higher than GPU Busy, that's a good indicator that you're performance limited by the CPU.

 

Definitely check whether you have enabled XMP in BIOS. Make sure you've installed the 1x16 in channel A and 2x8 in channel B, this way it should run in dual channel (use CPU-Z to verify). If it doesn't boot with XMP enabled, might be worth trying only the 2x8 GB.

So i recently switched from a rtx 2060 to a rx 9060xt oc 16gb and i seem to have worse perfomance than before,same fps,sometimes lower and even frame drops.I play mostly Fortnite,BF6,warthunder and lol,same thing in all game,almost no perfomance improvement.
My current specs are:
I5 12400
RX 9060xt 16gb OC
32GB DDR4 ram 2400mhz.1 16gb stick and 2x8 gb sticks,same brand hyperx
2 tbs of storage,1 m2 1 sata ssd
500w psu(dont know the brand the pc was prebuilt)
Gigabyte b760m ds3h ddr4 motherboard
I have tried DDU and tweaking settings.Im thinking either a RAM issue,speed is too low? Or psu might not be good enough?

Uhm 

 

So you have 3 sticks of ram? 1 16gb stick and 2x8 sticks? Yeah dont do that. Get rith of the 16gb one. Keep the 2x8 ones put them in the correct slots. Usually 1 and 3 or 2 and 4. Check if they support a higher speed via xmp. 

 

Psu is fine. It doesnt take a lot of power to run a 9060xt. Cpu is okay

I'm willing to bet that this configuration is part of the problem. Remove the single 16GB stick, make sure your remaining RAM is running in dual channel by having the modules in the 2nd and 4th slots. Then go into the BIOS and see if the RAM can run at 3000Mhz CL16. After that, go benchmark and see if there is any improvement.

So i dont know whether it was the 2 different typs of ram that caused the issue,or if enabling the xmp fixed it but i did both,i removed the 16gb stick and enabled xmp to run at 3200mhz,even tho the ram is 3600,it doesnt work at 3600 for whatever reason,but now i get steady and good fps,thank you all for the help ❤️
