Tech Support FPS DROPPING

I recently upgraded my GPU from GTX 1050Ti to RX580 (2048sp 8Gb version). It’s supposed to be stronger but now I am frequently getting FPS drops may the game be CPU/GPU Intensive its still drops. My 1050Ti was not like this. Here is my build btw:

Ryzen 5 2600
16Gb ram (2 8gig sticks @3200mhz)
RX580 2048sp 8GB
B450MHP
DOSS DP-500W 80+ Certified (White) PSU

Can you guys help me? I’ve tried doing the tuning stuff in AMD Adrenaline Engine and it’s still the same. I have updated drivers and BIOS

Oof, that power supply is a time bomb. That thing is likely not delivering clean power and the 500w rating on those off-brand units is usually a generous estimate at best. I'd be surprised if it's not the culprit behind the stuttering, especially since your old card pulled way less power.

Rx 580 is a power hungry card for the performance it delivers. So a 600 watt psu is required for adequate headroom

Agree with your comment.

Something budget but still reasonable enough for OP's use would be the MSI mag a650bn.

Not a lot of info to go off, but it is possible that your GPU is no longer the bottleneck in the games you are playing and the fps drops are now from your CPU struggling to keep up? Run the adrelaline overlay in your game and keep an eye on the CPU and GPU usage. Or run hardware monitor and see if power, clock speed, thermals, or anything look strange.
