6700 XT drops to 27 fps in Last of Us even in Low settings.

Fyi i dont even use platinum units, I use reputable units. Aerocool makes decent cases but their psu quality is lacking, so you having an issue is what you have through aerocool.

How can you make such blanket sweeping statements? Most of what I'm finding in my web search is unverified FUD by forum posters like you; Cite your sources.

Aris (of TPU, HWB reviews and more, as well as the Cybenetics PSU testing & certification labs) has tested several decent, cheap Aerocool units that got his recommendations. Here's one, for example...
I cannot find any reviews of the VX Plus 650 but it's quite easy to disprove your sweeping generalisation that Aerocool PSUs should be avoided. All major brands have made good and bad PSUs, and I'm yet to find any search results of truly awful PSU disasters with Aerocool to blame.

If you disagree with crmaris on PSU testing then perhaps you should start your own industry-standard testing laboratory and certification system? As it is, @Od1sseas's PSU is a basic, single-rail model delivering 50A on the +12V which should be plenty for stable operation of a 6700XT. This isn't a factory-overclocked 3090 trying to run off a 500W budget PSU, FFS.

Edit:
I found a Russian review of the VX Plus 500 and auto-translation at the end of the video seems to imply that the power delivery is good with decent voltage regulation and ripple, only that the unit isn't particularly efficient. Seasonic is the OEM and I think we can rule out the PSU as some garbage-tier fire hazard. It's plenty for the system in question.

Since when do FPS drops have anything to do with a PSU????

You either get power or you don't, and when you don't fugging crash.

I have the same problem.

I have the same problem.

It's piss poor optimisation, nothing to do with your hardware

I don't think that video paints as rosy of a picture of that PSU as you think it does. They guy soldered on a bunch of parts onto it to improve it because it was missing so much.

Edit: lmao steel wires?

Impressions from elsewhere don't have good things to say about it either.

I have the same problem.

I was actually able to fix the issue. Simply disable SAM from the AMD Adrenalin Software. It's either the game that doesn't work well with SAM or AMD drivers (as always) simply just suck.

Good to know. SAM usually works flawlessly for most people.

If you haven't already, update your BIOS and stability test your RAM with OCCT or similar to ensure your RAM is actually 100% stable.

BIOS already up to date. My RAM is stable. 30 minutes with TestMem5 Anta777 ,30 minutes with OCCT and 30 minutes with TPU's MemTest64

This is something I experienced with a 6800xt which I still have sitting idle.

My fix was forcing clock speeds to be at max even when idle. It would just randomly drop to 500mhz when in game. Driver issues with the idle power structure. Anyway, that fixed it for me.

Clock speeds are still at 2.5Ghz when the game drops to 27fps

Thanks od1sseas. When deactivating SAM I did not suffer the fps drop again and now it remains stable

Most of these Playstation ports has terrible optimization on PC.
