GTX 780 kills brand new RX 580

[romneyhammond]

I recently bought an ASRock Phantom Gaming D RX 580 8 GB off Newegg to replace my GTX 780. Everything ran terribly. Ring of Elysium would crash in the lobby. Destiny 2 would give me like 20-30 frames and then crash with a broccoli error code. Far Cry 5 would play for a little on low settings but would crash at medium to high. The Anthem demo was unplayable (I know they had issues but my GTX 780 did great). I’m just wondering if you guys have any ideas why.

Asus P8P67 ws revolution
8 gb RAM
i5 2400

Thanks!

Oh and I was sure to uninstall everything Nvidia and I tried basically every single AMD driver.

they are very similar in performance. I wouldn't expect you would even really notice much of a difference. you might want to try adding 8gb more raM

The CPU will hold back the RX 580 a little. In terms of an upgrade , it's not much really.

Man everything I read said that the RX 580 would give me a significant boost. Plus I was hoping Freesync would help with the micro stuttering. Would a 1070TI be a significant upgrade to my 780?

I would invest in a new core , the slower CPU is going to be an issue.

Just rough cause my motherboard limits my cpu upgrade by quite a bit. Think the highest it supports is an i7-3770. So I'd have to do a motherboard, ram and cpu upgrade which will be more than I wanna spend right now.

Exactly what I meant by a new core. Until you upgrade the main 3 you will have issues with faster cards.

Will I still be able to run games with my current setup but with a 1070-TI?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes they will run , but the weaker CPU will still hold the performance of the card back.

Add more ram it will change your experience

Did you use DDU to uninstall the previous drivers first, and then after that install the latest Radeon drivers?

If not, use DDU to completely uninstall all Nvidia drivers first. Then try to reinstall the latest Radeon drivers.

Something doesn’t add up. Can you confirm the monitor is not plugged into the motherboard?

Even if you have a cpu bottleneck or RAM issue the 580 should run no worse than the 780.

Monitor was plugged into the GPU.

Ok, worth a shot. I still think something is wrong but I don’t have any ideas what at the moment.

Same brother. I think I'm gonna RMA it, sell it, and pick up a 1070-TI from a buddy and just be done with it. Upgrade mobo, cpu and ram at Christmas or something.
