Hello,
I am a total PC newbie, but from what I gathered the upgrade to the RX580 should have been a good choice and improve performance for games dramatically.
I just received the card, plugged it in, but there isn't much difference. So I am wondering why that may be. I was thinking it could be either my power supply isn't strong enough, my CPU for some reason bottlenecks or... well I actually have no idea.
Would appreciate any help or tips, because I am kinda lost on why my system isn't performing. Thanks!
P.S.: I also noticed that sometimes my screen goes black for like a second, since I plugged in my new card today. Could this be an issue of the power supply being not strong enough?
These are my specs:
Monitor: 1080p 60hz
GPU: Geforce GTX 960 2GB / Now switched to a RX 580 8GB Nitro+
CPU: i7-2600 @ 3.40GHz
RAM: 12GB DDR3
Motherboard: Gigabyte P67A D3 B3 (probabaly)
Power supply: xilence xp500r7 (500W)
Still using Windows 7 for now
