Low cpu and gpu usage and still low fps

[dogfudge77]

Hello.
Basically, I've bought a new GPU a couple days ago, the r9 270x 2gb. I installed the latest drivers to it but the problem is that im still getting low fps in minecraft and fortnite. In minecraft on medium settings i get from 60 to 200fps where i should be getting atleast 500-1000 or med/low settings.
I made sure my integrated gpu is turned off in the BIOS. I made sure i have the latest gpu drivers.

To me, the problem might be because i didn't fully uninstall my old gpu drivers or that i used a software to activate my windows 7 for free. Apart from that i don't see any problems.

My CPU is Phenom x4 840 3.21 Ghz
GPU is r9 270x 2gb
6GB ram

I heard that formating or reinstalling my windows completely will fix it. Please help.

the cpu you have is fairy bad and so to get those frames you will need to upgrade it. there is no way around it.
