Trying to troubleshoot lower than expected FPS (aussie.zone)

Getting around 130fps avg frames, sometime dipping down into the 80's, when playing CS2. Did a recent system upgrade and presumed performance would be better than this for the build?

Gear:

  • Ryzen 7 5700x 3.4ghz
  • 6750XT 12gb ddr6
  • 16gb 3600mhz ddr4
  • m.2 SSD
  • 144hz , 1440 screen with freesync
  • Running Mint latest version

Have tried in-game settings at lowest, still not managing to get a stable FPS above 144. Mucking with settings doesn't seem to change performance much. Have set game to run with '-vulkan' which helped reduce some stuttering issues, but not much performance gain.

I also only get <100fps with other games like BG3. Figured this kit would be able to handle modern games a bit better. Any ideas what's going on?

EDIT: For future reference, the following changes were made and am now getting ~200fps

  • Enabled asus EZ Tune in BIOS (rather than manually muck with each setting)
  • Updated gpu drivers via 'amdgpu -install'
  • Enable gamemode

If possible, maybe try dual booting a Windows install just to test if the games run better there. If they do, it's probably a problem with your system or your configuration, but if not, it's likely your hardware. Might also want to look at your BIOS settings and see if something somehow got reset there, like your RAM clock.

RAM clock in BIOS looks to be set properly, and have checked BIOS latest from motherboard website.
