Processor bundles Ryzen 7 9800X3D и Radeon RX 9070 XT lose FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 - GameGPU
A user experiencing significant frame rate drops in Cyberpunk 2077 with AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor and Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card has identified potential causes and solutions.
A user with a high-end AMD setup featuring the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor and Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card has encountered serious performance issues while playing Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p resolution. The GPU operates at approximately 3340 MHz but consumes only 200-215 W instead of standard values, with periodic load drops to 86-87%, resulting in average frame rates around 100 FPS without ray tracing and frequent drops below 60 FPS while driving through Night City.
Root Cause Analysis
Benchmark telemetry revealed unusually high CPU load reaching 77% with 91 W power consumption and 52°C temperature. RAM usage exceeds 26 GB even after closing background applications. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D scored 2659 points in single-threaded Geekbench 7 and 15935 in multi-threaded tests, while the RX 9070 XT achieved 182895 in OpenCL and 202348 in Vulkan benchmarks. These results indicate performance degradation compared to reference specifications.
Such low results CPU Compared to the reference silicon parameters, these differences are explained by unsuccessful manual overclocking and excessive undervolting, which caused hidden throttling of the clock frequency and a hard stop in the computing cores.
Community Solutions
Community members recommended resetting BIOS to factory settings and activating the EXPO profile, uninstalling graphics card firmware with DDU utility, and performing a clean installation of the latest Adrenalin package. Users were advised to disable overlays in Discord, Steam, GOG Galaxy, and RivaTuner, deactivate the integrated graphics core, and check SMT settings in the game menu. Additionally, owners should ensure graphics cards use separate PCIe power cables and disable built-in game optimizers in third-party antivirus software.
