Poor Performance On AMD 6900xt

[ǝǝǝ-2359]

Hi , When I lunch the game the frames drop around 20-30 with stuttering, when I open the practice range the frames goes up to 230-240 for about 10-15 seconds, then drop to 130-160 for 1 minute or so and then go all the way up to 500-600

My rig :

CPU : Ryzen 7 3800XT

GPU : XFX 6900XT

POWER : 750W EVGA

RAM : 16GB G.SKILL DDR4

Shader compilation. Which Windows are you on, 10 or 11?

See these posts:

Overwatch 2 for the first few minutes makes my PC suffer

This is the game doing shader compilation/verification and it takes a few minutes every single time you load the game. Which version of Windows are you on? I’m trying to rule out of this is a Windows 11 thing or an AMD GPU thing. It’s been an on going issue for me for a long time, but I just know to launch the game and wait a few minutes for it to finish. I’m on a 13600kf and an RX 6600 btw, with Windows 11, everything up to date.

FPS drops after latest update

Have you guys tried waiting for 5 minutes at the main screen after loading the game? If you run an overlay like RTSS, you’ll see your CPU usage redlining while it compiles/verifies all the shaders. After that, it should drop to like <5% and be done. This happens every single time I boot up the game. Seems to either be a Windows 11 thing or an AMD GPU thing, never bothered to figure out which. If I try to play before it finishes the shader work, I will get like 70fps in a match until it’s done, …

There are a ton more topics and posts about this from a while back as well. I think I even made one ages ago. It boiled down to either an AMD GPU driver issue or a Windows 11 issue, but never could fully solve the issue.

i find a solution by install old driver , 21.12.1 and after lunching the game and let the shader compilation done and close the game and reopen it the frames go 60fps on menu without any stuttering and when i open the practice range the frames goes all the way up to 400 or more , the whole issue is AMD drivers , it’s not Windows problem , i tried both Windows 10 and 11 both has a same issue , it’s only happening on AMD GPUs , the only problem for this driver is that i can’t play new games cuz the drivers is too old

It’s an AMD problem. Silly issues like this never happens with Nvidia cards. You’ll have this “shader compilation” issue after every driver update. What I do (I have rx570) is update driver, then start OW and go into practice range, and leave it like that for 10-15 minutes. If you’re lucky you have to do this once a month, but back in the days there was a month where I got 2 AMD updates, haha.
