hi, so my problem here is that my gpu is lacking of performance. It's a RX 5700 XT MECH OC and it almost 8 month old. It was getting low frames from the beginning first I thought it needed an update but no and im trying to figure out what the problem. here's how much frames i was getting on the first week: cs:go 245 fps, apex 159 fps, cod 110 fps on low setting, gta V 56 fps and fortnite 183 fps.

This week: cs:go 118 fps, apex 115 fps, cod 23 fps on low settings, gta V 33fps and fortnite 112.

here's my build: cpu ryzen 7 2700x, gpu rx 5700 xt, motherboard x570 asus tuf gaming, psu 500 W, ssd 250 gb, hdd 2tb, case its a corsair forgot the rest but its atx.

could I pls get some help

System Requirements

• PCI Express x16 4.0 / 3.0 Slot
• 750 Watt Power Supply w/ 1x 8-pin and 1x 6-pin PCI-E power connector

I personally have never used less than an 850 watt PSU.

and always use a top quality name brand one,(currently I use a Corsair HX1200i)

ok thx I will try this solution

oh yea i forgot my psu is a 600 w not a 500

[benman2785]

600W is often not good enough
especially if your PSU is a firecracker :p

ps i bet my BeQuiet DarkPowerPro 550W could handle it with your HW - but its one of the best 550W PSUs on the market :p

[Ginutzxxl]

yea its strange bc i have a bequiet power u9 600w but, if thats the prob ill buy the 700 w 

[Ginutzxxl]

oh yea also its strange how i need more than 600w is there a reason why

[Earnhardt]

Because that is what they recommend for a system running a RX5700XT

ohh, ok thx so much

one last question what is your recommended psu 

[Earnhardt]

Personally I Like Corsair AXi or HXi PSU's,but Seasonic and EVGA are good.,stay Have not heard good things about the Gigabyte ones.but definitely stay away from low end,cheap,no name ones. And buy the biggest(wattage wise) one you can afford.
