OK I'll start by saying I know nothing about ET 2020.  I'm not an expert on this stuff, but I thought I would at least throw some stuff out here for you to look into. I tried to keep it as budget friendly as possible while giving you a nice upgrade all around. The CPU is not the current gen out, but it's still an upgrade to 6 core 12 thread. The Ryzen 3 3300x would be my first option, but I have heard it is impossible to find one. Let me know what you think and depending if you have existing hard drives/ssd's you want to use those can be removed or tweaked.

UPDATE: I just checked youtube and saw that this guy had just released a video on building different pc's at different price budgets. Like I said in another post I like this guy and he gives good advice. The main difference between his builds and mine were he went with the newer CPU vs the one i added, gave you only 500 gb nvme (that is probably assuming you have another hard drive to add into this pc). His $800 pc had a slightly worse graphics card than the one i suggested, but his $1000 pc had a nice 2070 in it.

 

 

 

 

Here is his build for $800

Multithreading isn't your problem. I can guarantee you that. That's a nVidia issue.
I can tell you where your issues exist though. AMD's drivers.

And your CPU is in dire need of an upgrade too, so let's change that up.
I'd second Paul's $800 build that Corey linked. As for the 1k build, 2070 is nearing EOL, and I wouldn't recommend that to anyone- especially based on the games you play. But the 1660 is perfect for ET, 1080p streaming, and games you've shown on your YouTube channel.

I'm always happy to help! And you're always free to shoot me a PM, or tag me on a topic. This is a tricky one since you made so many changes at once, but...
here's a wonky idea that crossed my mind:
Try renaming your et.exe file to quake3.exe and see if things stabilize out. (Keep in mind that if it works, you'll need to update your shortcuts)

@Xernicus Thank you!!!! Renaming exe file seemed to do a trick no more fps drops. AMD really coded like that?. smh never will go with amd again

Tbf to AMD the Ryzen CPU's are far superior to the FX ones mate, i previously had the FX6300 but since moving to the Ryzen range (2700x currently) i've not had FPS issues and the CPU's have only got better and better.

The issues are with AMD graphics cards, not the CPUs. The CPUs are great, but their graphics team burned me after being a loyal customer for several years.
I switched to nVIDIA, and I won't be looking back for a long time. Glad to hear your issue got sorted out!

EDIT: I see you're running an nvidia gpu after double checking, then this issue must be an AMD chipset thing indeed... their extensions are wonky AF.

My last build was an AMD. I ran it for some years but always battled heat issues, mostly, as well as the ones detailed in this thread. Even though the Ryzen's look really nice, I'm just fine with Intel and nVidia GPU's.
