If the card has a 6pin socket and it's not populated, then it does not receive enough power, therefore it does not show on device manager. You need a new PSU and not whatever garbage/ancient unit you have in.

You need to temporarily disable antivirus and close any OC application like MSI afterburner.

How are your temps? Run a userbenchmark and post the link to the results here.

It's not JUST half a GHz. The 2700X can reach 4,3 GHz turbo speed according to AMD and you can't even reach the base clock speed. Thermal throttling hampers performance a lot. We can discuss it further if you like, or try multiple of the options I mentioned. Replacing the thermal paste is both...

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X-€219 159,077 User benchmarks, average bench 76% AM4, 1 CPU, 8 cores, 16 threads Base clock 3.7 GHz, turbo 3.65 GHz (avg) That should have been above the base clock. It confirms the themal throttling suspicion. Replace the thermal paste, buy a better cooler, improve the case...

You are thermal throttling most probably. Can you run a userbenchmark and post the link to the results here? Terrible PSU. Replace it asap.

Cities Skyline is very CPU demanding game. Lowering graphics should result in lower GPU usage. The fact that the FPS does not get higher suggests a CPU bottleneck. A 2700x is a old CPU that was barely better than a i7 7700k which is not enough for any modern game. Your CPU temp is higher than...

It's definitely the CPU led and not the boot led. Every connector is firmly in place, triple checked, including the two for CPU power. As I already said, the system works and performs as expected.

Hello, this is probably going to be long, so I apologize. I decided to buy my brother a PC for Christmas but it seems like everything has gone wrong with it. I ordered every piece from multiple stores that had a reasonable price and immediate availability. At least half of the components...

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ Tier D if it's grey or black labeled, or Tier F if it's orange labeled. That makes it a no.

I would suggest you try the GPU in another system to make sure it is in fact the issue. Maybe even reapplying thermal paste if it gets too hot. It costs next to nothing to do it if you are already willing to spend money, it's the best cheap option. As for recommendations, the best bang for your...

How do you know it's the GPU's fault? What happens exactly and you say it fails? Exact make , model and age of your PSU is needed.

It's a prebuilt and it should work immediately without any issues. That's why you paid extra, so it can be assembled and working as intended by them. You should avoid messing with it and call them right away mentioning that there is a problem and that they need to fix it asap as it's under...

Generally they say that if it's not broken, don't try to fix it. If the new driver(s) have optimizations for the game YOU play or general optimizations for all games (direct x12 comes in mind), or specific fixes for security, stability, etc then yes. If they have optimizations for game(s)...

I am really sorry, I did not want to keep going on about it. I linked it because it served as a sort of guide on how to do it and an explanation how it works for OP and a proof that it's possible. I should have stated that, again, sorry.
