Hey everyone! I recently built a new PC with a Ryzen 5600GT last couple of months, and then upgraded to an RX 6600. I've got 32GB of 3200MHz DDR4 RAM. My main game is CS2, and I'm getting around 180-200 FPS on low settings, whether I'm on 4:3, 16:9, or 16:10 resolutions. Previously, with integrated graphics, I was managing about 100-140 FPS on low. All my components are only about two months old. The FPS seems lower than I expected after the upgrade. Is this typical performance for the RX 6600 or could something else be causing the issue? I'd love to hear from anyone with a similar setup or those who have the 5600G, which I believe is pretty much the same as the GT, to compare FPS results.

It sounds like you might be experiencing a CPU bottleneck. The Ryzen 5600GT has its limits, and while it’s a solid CPU, it may not be able to keep up with the RX 6600 in some scenarios. That's likely why you’re not seeing a jump in FPS after the upgrade.
Are you sure that your DisplayPort or HDMI cable is connected to the GPU and not the motherboard? If it’s still going through integrated graphics, that could explain the low FPS you're seeing.
Yes, I checked and it's definitely plugged into the GPU! 100% sure.
