Greetings!

Recently I build new configuration based on 3900X with 5700XT, all was fine until I started  "The Witcher" game-series. In first part (The Witcher: Enchanced Edition, Steam-version) I got problem with text fonts, as result - this game was finished on my old system (FX-8350, RX580). Now I start second part (The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enchanced Edition, Steam-version)- no problem with fonts this time but I got abnormaly low fps in some places. How it looks - beginning of the game, fps counter show me 120-200+ fps and everything is fine, then in Geralt flashbacks about attacking of the castle fps drops to 30 and below (with massive dpors of cpu/gpu utilization), not everywhere but stable with camera view on some parts of location. In beginning it was Windows 10 1809 with 19.9.2 amd drivers and older chipset driver, now i update everything (windows 10 1903, amd 19.10.2, chipset 1.09.27.1033) and no effect in this case so i thought to create this thread, maybe I should create report to amd somewhere?

When i swap my RX 5700XT back to RX580 (Sapphire Nitro+ SE, 8GB) and launch TW2 - I got over 120 fps (RX580 is bottlenecking) in same place with same camera view. Just after replace new gpu to old, nothing more.

In my opinion its absolutely abnormal that newer RX 5700XT give x4 times LOWER fps then old RX580. Not everywhere, but my eyes just bleeding when i rotate camera and has fps drop from 140+ to ~30. Looks like AMD doesnt optimise well drivers for RDNA GPU to work with old DirectX9 games?

I have no problems with 5700 XT in GTA V, GTA IV, Monster Hutner World, Lineage 2, Assetto Corsa, Escape From Tarkov and Assassins Creed Odyssey.

I have the same problem on driver 19.10.1 in both games.

Win 10 (1903) || Ryzen 5 2600x || MSI B450-A PRO || Samsung 16 Gb 3200 Mhz 16-16-16-32 || Cougar STX650 || GIGABYTE AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC

I have the same problem，and my CPU is 1950x and GPU is rx5700

most of the time,the witcher3 only have 10-15 fps, but sometimes it is normal above 60fps

really puzzling

[missile_007]

after I re-install win10 1909 and the latest driver 11.3 , the issue disappeared.

this issue may be caused by the residual of the older driver.

I have the same issue!
I'm trying to play the witcher enhanced edition and it's only running at around 50/70 FPS with lots of frame drops and stuttering. And the gpu clock it's only running at 800mhz! It's clearly being downclocked. I think it's a problem with these new GPUs and DX9.
I tried to force the game to use VULKAN and OPENGL instead of DX9 but with VULKAN it crashes and with OPENGL it runs even slower at around 30/40 FPS.
I also tried to open another game at the same time to force the clock to go at its normal speed (around 1800/2000mhz) but although this worked the game still runs at 50/70 FPS.
I don't know what to do, I wanna play the witcher series but cannot run the first game at decent frames!
This is unacceptable

Re: RX 5700XT and old "The Witcher" games in Graphics

[elvenhax2]

Yes. With 20.5.1 i have no drops in "The Witcher 2". Sad this happen only after 7 months from buying 5700XT (TW2 was completed 4 months ago with some VULKAN-wrapper) =(

"The Witcher" was completed on my old FX-8350/RX580 PC, but russian fonts was fixed, as i remember, in december 2019-january 2020 drivers.

"The Witcher 3" in progress without any problem on 3900X/5700XT.
