from gtx 1060 6gb to rx 5700 xt

[Supreme Leader of Autism]

Hello there! i just bought an rx 5700 xt gigabyte oc mode, and im not seeing that much of a difference in the performance. is there something i should do? i removed nvidia drivers using ddu utility and installed radeon settings and thats all. I dont feel like it was worth the 430euros although in youtube videos the card seemed to be much better than it actually is. did i do somehting wrong? do i have to do something else? or the card is what it is?
thank you in advance

Performance difference can vary very differently depending on the game. Some games can utilise the RX 5700-XT more than other games. CPU bottle necking can also be another factor which can result in very minor performance differences.

What CPU do you have?

Are you running at 1080p or below? CPU bottlenecking may be in effect with lower resolutions.

Also, there's a Hardware & OS subforum, you might have better luck there.

If u run over 1080p , that will not be a problem.

hi guys thanks for answering. im using an AOC 2560x1440 165hz gsync 1ms monitor (i also have a second 1080p monitor for videos etc, if that matters)

[Supreme Leader of Autism]

well then could you please tell me a game to test that actually has a good optimisation with my rx 5700 xt?
also is there another app i should download which i have forgotten?

Have a look at this one:
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx_5700-rx_5700_xt,6216.html

Page 2 is probably what you're looking for, and gives you a rough idea of what you should expect from this GPU. Keep in mind that the review used a i7-8086K, which gives them a minor edge over your build in terms of average framerate.

Generally speaking, it should be stronger than a 1060 by a very decent stretch.

I believe, you should see a huge jump of performance with the RX 5700-XT. Your CPU could be bottlenecking, idk I could be wrong.

i use msi afterburner to watch the performance, and no my cpu isnt bottlenecking my gpu. its usage is under 60%

Bottleneck depends on workload, not on overall usage.
Say if a game is only coded to use 4 threads, it's using them as hard as it can, and say you've got 8 threads in total, this would result in 50% usage, but would still be bottlenecking, and here's where it gets funny, windows spreads the load of a game out over all of the availible threads, so you can't properly see the usage of the game, if you've got other things running.

A simple way to test for bottleneck is, is the GPU running at 95%+?
Yes - It's fine, no bottleneck.
No - You've got a bottleneck.

But, by capping FPS to a lower value, using RTSS (CPU level frame limiter), you can prevent the CPU from hitting 100% (on useable threads), it should keep your game much smoother, resulting in a better experience than constant stuttering.

But, you shouldn't bottleneck in most games, especially since you're playing 1440p (resolution has no impact on CPU usage, but you do get lower FPS, because of the higher resolution, which lowers the CPU usage, because it has to 'draw' less frames for the GPU.)
And, the CPU performs pretty well, as good as 4th gen Intel (without an overclock), and isn't lacking in threads.

Autumn thanks for responding! No my gpu is always at 97%+ for sure (expect 1 game, Miscreated) and also in msi afterburner im not only monitoring the overall cpu usage, im monitoring the CPU1 CPU2 usage !
