not sure what is wrong with my PC

[ahse0w]

looking for advise from the experts here.
my PC is an i5-2500K, Gskill 8gb pc1600 RAM, 500W PSU and asus dcu2 r9280x.

i am trying to run overwatch on high settings or even medium but i always get
choppy framerates. it will hit over 60, then drop to 40+ suddenly. trying to 4k video samples also stutter a lot. is it my CPU cmi already? i see online many ppl say 4K video should be able to play smoothly with my setup.

i am suspecting the recent amd relive software update.. anyone with similar setups can share?

thanks!

Usually I would just format the com and see if it helps. Too lazy to diagnose lol

You might have enabled Radeon Chill (HiAlgo chill) in Wattman.
Overwatch is on the Chill Whitelist.

Hi there,

You might want to check out what is your graphic card temperature. You can do that via the AMD Control Center.

chill is disabled..
gpu temp when running overwatch is high 70s..
cpu temp is 50+..
