Since 2020 I've owned a PC with the following specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700
SSD: Seagate FireCuda 520 M.2 2280 1TB
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)
MB: MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI
PSU: Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 750W
It's always seemed to underperform, especially when I head about my friends using older nvidia cards and getting better performance than me. I thought nothing of it until recently where I am playing far cry new dawn and my computer struggles to maintain a framerate over 100, often dipping below 60 during combat.
This has happened with other games as well, where I would have to considerably reduce the settings on newer games I play in order to get them to hit 60. I'm pretty frustrated, as with my specs I should be getting far more stable performance.
An attempt to remedy this resulting in a bios update, but the performance has not noticeably improved. Is there something that I'm missing that could improve my performance?
