fortnite performs worse after gpu upgrade

[woven dagger]

i went from a gtx 760 to a rx 570 4gb and on the 760 i got almost 200 fps and now the rx 570 gets like 100 with frame drops with the same graphics settings on performance mode, i’ve tried changing some settings on the adrenalin software and it still performs worse, any fix?

[bleak hamlet]

I have a 1660 sup and only get 120-180

it should be a lot faster

do u ave drivers up to date

[woven dagger]

yep

[bleak hamlet]

try another game that u remember the fps in

[woven dagger]

fortnite is the only thing i remember

would it help to know that my cpu is an i5 2500k

[bleak hamlet]

i figured

but it should be out performing the other gpu by like 40%

[woven dagger]

cpu runs around 60% range and the gpu sometimes goes to 100 and then drops to 30 and then 0

[woven dagger]

overclocking the gpu in the software slightly makes it faster

[bleak hamlet]

ok that shouldnt happen at all

[woven dagger]

what could the issue be then?

[bleak hamlet]

honestly ive never seen that

[woven dagger]

ah

ima run a cpu and gpu benchmark

[unreal thicket]

when were you most recently getting the 200fps?

[bleak hamlet]

Idk but i sont see how

I have an i7 9700k and 1660 sup and i sont even get that

[woven dagger]

i run performance mode

not on max settings but it’s good quality

[woven dagger]

i upgraded the gpu yesterday so the day before i was getting good fps with no spikes

[bleak hamlet]

So do i

I run lowest settings too

[woven dagger]

i wonder if it’s because the cpu is old so it can’t keep up with something new

i do plan on upgrading to a ryzen 5 3600 tho

what’s this switch on the graphics card?

[bleak hamlet]

wdym

[woven dagger]

there’s a dual bios switch

it’s a power color red dragon rx 570

lol that didn’t do anything when i flicked it to the right

[woven dagger]

i think i fixed my problem with the fps spikes

[unreal thicket]

i heavily recommend buying a new cpu but only get one that is worth the upgrade

i wouldnt get a 3600 i'd get a 5600 best value cpu on the market

b550 motherboards are fairly cheap too

[atomic basin]

Yeah that cpu is definitely getting long in the tooth

it's possible that driver overhead is affecting performance, especially since you switched from one vendor to another

Also couldn't hurt to try DDU to make sure the old drivers are uninstalled

[mint quiver]

dam i got the same problem i uprgraded frm a 1080 to a 2060 and i feel no difference

[woven dagger]

alr

and then eventually i’ll pair the 5600 with a 3060 or a 6650 xt

[woven dagger]

i did that as well

[woven dagger]

does monitor intervene with bottleneck too

[atomic basin]

There's always potentially the chance, but I can't imagine it would

[woven dagger]

i have a 1650x1000 and it’s 60hz but i plan on getting a new monitor
