Question Low fps on Geforce GTX 1050

[marioeater69]

I use a pre built dell inspiron 3656 and i upgraded a couple components. I upgraded my AMD Radeon R9 360 to a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 OC Windforce 2gb GDDR5. And I changed the power supply to an 500W EVGA 80 plus certified psu. My GPU doesnt use a PCI-E because it gets the power through motherboard. is that the problem? idk. my cpu is integrated into the motherboard which is an AMD FX-8800P. I used to get 30-40fps on all games with my stock pc. But i thought upgrading would get me to at least 60-65fps on games but it didnt now I only get 10-30fps. does anyone have a soltution? thanks in advance.

Double check your settings, drivers, and game settings. I've never used AMD before, but Nvidia can optimize your games to best fit your GPU through their app: Gefore Experience. It also depends on what games you play. The 1050 is starting to become outdated and 2gb of vram is not a whole lot. It also never hurts to shut off the power, unplug, plug back in and boot up again. Check your cable connections. That's all I can think of. Let me know if none of this works.

Another thing to look at is making sure the power cable from PSU to your gpu is correct. Sometimes when parts don't get enough power they don't perform right.
