I've been experiencing some unusual FPS drops in all my games recently for reason's I don't know what. Recently, I have had some problems with my graphics drivers causing me to have a black screen of death and also me having to delete my drivers using ddu in safemode while updating my amd radeon settings to the newest version. I have an RX480, i5 6500, 16gb ram, 650W psu, msi b150 pcmate mobo. My GPU temps are fine running at 72 and below. What could be the source of my issues? I've never had these before and I'm almost positive it has to do with the drivers etc. I'm getting really frustrated with amd and my gpu but if this problem can easily resolved, I won't complain. Thank you and any help is appreciated!

P.S: Just these past 2 days, my internet has been acting up causing me to have high ping in game. Now I do not know if internet could be the source of my fps being affected because I think it should only affect ms and latency. I have comcast internet however, I am using a range extender (re6500 from linksys) to connect to my pc via ethernet cable. I recently just updated the firmware of the range extender however it is not performing properly. Normally I would get 90 mbps in download speeds but now I am getting around 30 and below. This has happened to me before and I cannot remember if my in game fps was affected as well.

Ping is 100% a factor in determining FPS, especially in first person shooters, depends on how the game is designed, the server you connected to, it's hardware, etc. What's your ping in-game? Shooters need less than 100ms, while strategy can be perfectly ok with 300ms. Again depends on the game and it's servers, dedicated or not, etc.

Are you getting sluggish gameplay or elastic banding.

Try an offline 1 player game to test. If that has a noticeable issue then ya I'd concentrate your troubleshooting on drivers, heat dissipation(dust). Note what new software/hardware was added and try reverting stuff.
