Hey guys.
I just build a new PC (see specs below) and used my old GTX 960 4GB from my old computer as I had upgraded it a few years back. After seeing what an improvement I got from the new computer I realized how bottle necked my GPU was. So I wanted to upgrade my GPU to a RX 580 8GB. I bought one off eBay that didn't seem to have been mined or abused. It was in great looking condition, came with all the packaging and seller said he was upgrading his GPU. Seller had 100% feedback rating.
After installing the RX 580 I am getting ~50 FPS less in the CSGO benchmark! With my GTX 960 at low settings I was getting ~270 FPS. With the RX 580 I am getting ~220! While I know the GTX 960 was fine for CSGO I figured I would upgrade for other games I would see the increased performance like Apex Legends and also CSGO would get a little boost as well. I never thought I would get LESS FPS with the RX 580 in CSGO... Is there any reason for this?
I have used DDU driver uninstaller. The Clock speed is showing 1380 MHz. I am running the latest AMD RX 500 series driver (19.4.3 at the time of post). Windows is up to date. like what...? I have tried uninstalling all drivers in safe mode and reinstalling them. It's all the same hardware and settings.
