[SOLVED] Low fps with new gpu

[marioeater69]

I have a pre-built Dell Inspiron 3656 and it had an AMD Radeon R9 360, but I replaced it with a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 OC 2gb Windforce. I dont know what they used for the motherboard but it has an integrated amd fx-8800p. I also have 16gb of ram. On videos I have seen people use the geforce gtx 1050 with a game on ultra running from 50-60 fps. but for me it is 15-30. I dont know if I can use my 1050 with the amd fx-8800p. I have tried playing fallout 4 on ultra and got 15-20fps in small areas like red rocket. I played hitman 2 on ultra overclocked and it worked great but still 30-40fps. other games like gta5 and fallout 4 overclocked still run from 15-30. So basically I just want to know if i need a stronger cpu or I have gotten something wrong. I also forgot to add that playing games with my amd radeon r9 360 had an average of 40-49fps in games. P.S when i got a stable overclock for my 1050 I got like 490mhz and 250mhz in gpu clock. btw i used xtreme gaming engine.

Will this be a good psu upgrade? https://www.newegg.com/p/1HU-009N-0...jNEB7zDpXXvQ-zcncpoaAkikEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

look dell and hp computers (OEM) you cannot change its motherboard and psu so u can't put this psu in ur dell pc and the psu is not the problem the processor is the problem the amd fx 8800p bottlenecks the gtx 1050 so it can't run in its full power so u have two options here is to try to find a processors compatible with your dell pc or build a new pc with an intel 2nd or 3rd generation processors

This is a pre build so much i dont know about but i have
integrated fx-8800p amd cpu
gigabyte geforce gtx 1050 oc 2gb windforce
a 200 or 250 watt psu
i have 2 ram sticks 8x2 by samsung

Perhaps I can add some important information to this discussion.
A quick search shows that your CPU is one originally built for laptops! It does have integrated graphics, so as someone mentioned earlier, make certain whatever cable you are running to your display is plugged into the video card, not the VGA or DVI output from your motherboard - those will be located with all the other I/O at the top back of the case.
Also, re. power. The recommended power supply for a COMPUTER running the 1050 card is 300watts: However, that is not how much power your 1050 will ever draw. Your video card is rated at 75W. IF your card has the auxiliary power connection mentioned by Flaming then that does need to be plugged in and your PSU probably doesn't have a proper connector to use. HOWEVER there is the possibility that your card is a standard 1050 and will not have such auxiliary connection.
And a final thought: Your processor is rated as using a maximum of 15 watts! If you have a 240watt psu you are probably o.k. without replacing the PSU .
ALL OF THE ABOVE makes the assumption that your PSU is in excellent condition as well as all the other parts of the PC.
Below are links to your processor information and to Tom's Video hierarchy chart.

UPDATE: Just looked at the Dell Service Manual for the 3656. That PC has a proprietary PSU and proprietary motherboard !! You cannot use generic, off-the-shelf parts to repair or upgrade. Your PSU will NOT have an auxiliary power connector for the video card. Here's the link for the manual:

You might be better off going back to your R9 360 or look for one of these: evga 1050 SC or any brand 1050 that doesn't require the extra power.
