RX 5500 XT Won't Run at Full Usage [FIXED]

[EDIT: Turns out the Radeon Chill setting chokes all performance for no reason at all]

 

 

 

As it says in the title, my new RX 5500 XT GPU won't run at full usage. In all of my games, I rarely break 50fps and it tends to hover somewhere between 35fps and 45fps, with the clock speed hovering at around 1000Mhz despite being capable of running at +1800Mhz. The temperature also sits at about 50 degrees Celsius, which is idle temperature and the fans don't achieve much in the way of RPM.

I have the latest drivers installed and a stress test tells me that it can run at full use, but it just doesn't.

I haven't experienced flickering or any other issues, just very low performance. I know someone with an almost identical set up as I have (same CPU, same GPU, same amount of RAM, same PSU) and they regularly get over 100fps in their games.

I can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong with it.

My hardware is-

Ryzen 5 2600 6core 3.4Ghz

Asrock Steel Legend B450

Gigabyte RX 5500 XT 8GB

Adata XPG 3200Mhz 16GB RAM (8GBx2)

Antec Earthwatts 650W PSU

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 5200RPM HDD

Adata 120GB SATA3 SSD
