Check the temperatures of your GPU and CPU.  One or both could be getting too hot and thus automatically throttling the clock rate to lower temperatures.  If you are getting above 75 C, then I suspect this is the issue.  As for a solution, improving airflow within your case is a start.

The RX6650 XT is now quite an old card so the thermal paste might need to be renewed.

Do that if it has not be done since you used that card.

I think that will solve your problem.

Well! I'm also having same kind of issue.

Try this :

- Turn off SAM (Smart Access Memory) in AMD adrenalin

- Check if your display bitdepth is set to 8

- Turn off secure boot in the BIOS as well as any option for virtual machine (SVM)

- Turn off Core Isolation in windows 11

- Do not use any upscaling during gameplay (FSR) and play with native settings

- Cap your framerate to 120 or lower in games

Additionally, if you run a Ryzen CPU you should find the sweetspot by undervolting and overclocking.

Most issues are related to Windows 11 24H2, downgrading to 21H2 will probably solve all the issues.

It seems that windows is dedicated to take full control of every piece of hardware and claiming exlusive rights when it comes to secure access thus programs like Ryzen Master will no longer work as it is considered "dangerous" by windows, which is unjustified.

Okay, THanks for this.
