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

    Linux Mint does not use very recent versions of the gfx drivers for that card (IIRC from last time I checked). My RX6600 therefore had some performance hit when I ran Mint (compared to Windows or other Linux distros). Arguably one could bump the installed versions of xserver-xorg-drivers-amdgpu and mesa-vulkan-drivers to more recent versions. You could have a look into the repo with Synaptic Package Manager and see whether there is a more recent version of the relevant stuff available (perhaps you need to allow for “testing” software source.

      Thanks. Following some snooping around the amd site, I’ve run ’amdgpu -install’ and a few additional drivers were installed. Along with some bios power changes I made (enabling asus EZ tune), I am getting above 150 on average now, so suspect this may have had some improvement.
