You can increase your in game settings (Low, medium, high, ultra) but with that low end card you won't be able to increase it a lot or you'll take a hit on performance.

Yea man thats not the problem.

IF the settings are not the issue, and it was working fine previously, then either a windows update has changed your installed driver, the PSU is causing the GPU to drop performance and defaulting it to a basic level or the GPU is failing.

I'd remove ALL current display driver related applications and reinstall with the most recent AMD Omega drivers.

My old PSU burnt out about 1 month ago and it hasn't done well sense. do you think that the PSU when it burnt could have damaged it?

Absolutely, or, just as possible, if the GPU has an issue, it might have taken the PSU out by creating to big a current draw for the PSU to accommodate. What was the model of the old PSU and what is the model of your current PSU? Cheap, poor quality power supplies are the number one reason for graphics card issues. Or if it's not the number one reason, it's close to it.

It was a CX430 and still is a CX430

Ok, so you're still using a PSU that "burnt out", or you replaced it with another just like it?

another just like it

I'm unsure. My guess would be that perhaps something was damaged at that time, but I can't honestly offer a certain determination of that.

Have you run GPU-Z and checked GPU sensor readings in HWinfo. Might do that and see if anything looks off.
