Check your advanced display settings in wow and ensure Ray tracing is turned off. It might have been off by default due to 1080 not supporting it.
Ray tracing in WoW does nothing but reduce your framerate.
Cus I upgraded from 5700xt to 3070 and had it returned because even with RTX turned off, the 5700xt gave me 135-144fps@1440p while the 3070 gave me 105-110 in the same area and resolution. (Icecrown during Shadowlands launch)
WoW generally performs better on AMD hardware. But I think your ryzen 1600 should still perform well. Future upgrade, either switch to the AM5 ryzen CPUâs or see if you canât get a 5600x
Black screen issue on AMD cards has mostly been solved. My 5700xt had black screen issues, but spring 2019/2020 the updates solved all those problems. AMD has hired a lot more software engineers for development and bug fixing a few years ago. Ensure the drivers you are using are from the AMD website and try the clean uninstall tool from AMD before re-installing the drivers again as it might be some things in the registry stuck messing things up.
I always use the latest drivers, I use the driver itself to find the new one, and install it. I tried fully clean installs multiple times, using DDU, to clear everything, and then reinstall. I reinstalled windows last year. I tried different chipset drivers. I updated the BIOS multiple times, to always use the latest non-beta version. Nothing solved it yet for me, the bug still exists on my system.
Let me give u one tip, never buy a AMD GPU again. In 2016 I made an entire setup with a ASUS Radeon R9 Fury, Not long after I started to experience black screen crashes. It basically says âno video inputâ and screen goes black and sometimes stays black until I force the PC to restart. This happened in multiply different games, but also just by watching YouTube videoâs.
I did searched the internet for years, and tried multiply things out but I never found a decent solution. I also returned the card but since the crashes are somewhat random they could not pin-point the issue, and blamed my setup.
Later in 2020 (5y after) this article turns up and AMD finally started to investigate these reported issues.
AMD is Investigating Black Screen Driver Issues on Radeon Cards
If interested you got to google this urself as I cannot post links.
Sadly there is no outcome yet, neither a solution from AMD for those people experiencing this until this day. I recently brought a new setup, with no AMD GPU and Iâm quite happy. But definitely unsure what to do with my old setup, as I cannot resell it with this GPU.
My RX 590 have been swapped between multiple custom builds with different hardware, so I am fully aware of these variables. Despite that, neither the card nor the drivers have been faulty on my end.
Hopefully the remaining driver issues people are experiencing will be resolved soon as AMD now have the resources as well to resolve the issues and overcome the bad reputation the drivers have given them.
RT is definitely switched off, according to the options. Currently I have everything in the options set to the recommended values. I donât even know what particular thing is causing these FPS drops, I just know that the open market space in STRT is among the locations where it occurs.
Old Nvidia drivers have been cleaned with DDU in safe mode, so that shouldnât be an issue either.
As for the CPU, I was also thinking I might be limited by the slower single core performance of the 1xxx series Ryzen CPUs, but this should also have affected th experience while I was still using the 1080. Itâs all very weirdâŚ
I guess this is just one of the things I will need to learn to accept. Thanks for your help anyway
Glad you like it
Theres a bigger version which sadly I donât have.
My GPU has itâs own AIO so Iâve got to drill holes for some airflow. Just been too lazy to do it recently haha
