Hello community.
I recently upgraded my graphics card from an GT710 to a RX560, so I could finally play higher grade titles such as DOOM, Quake Champions, and the like. I had gotten from a friend of mine, who was running DOOM at a smooth 60 fps at ultra and Quake Champions at a consistent 60 even during intense fights, with High settings.
I installed it in my rig, updated the graphics card, and it seemed to be running fine. Until I started playing games though, or stressing it in any way. Unigine Heaven got an average of 20 fps, while on my friends computer it got 40-60 fps easily. TF2, even, performed worse than my old GPU. that while on the lowest settings and even a custom config got a max of 90 fps, while dipping to about 10-20 when I stepped out the spawn door and it loaded the terrain. Even when there wasnt much to render, it sharply frame dropped every 10 seconds or though. It became super annoying and I'm sick of it.
The Ultimate Doom, running QZDoom, got about a max of 20 fps using truecolor software rendering, while using OpenGL it got a max of maybe 160 fps. The thing is, my first time ever playing the game was on a radeon R3 with 512 MB of memory, and that thing ran at 300 fps easily on it.
I don't know if its my CPU bottlenecking my GPU, if its a driver issue, software issue, I have no clue. All I know is I'm sick of the disgusting frame drops on 10 and 25 year old games. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thank you.
My specs are as follows:
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
MB: ASRock ab350m
CPU: AMD A8-9600 APU
GPU: Radeon RX 560
RAM: 8GB DDR4
PSU: Thermaltake Bronze 600W
