Sapphire RX460 OC 2GB Performance issue

[morit]

Hello. A couple of days ago i got a RX460 . The card is supposed to be able to play CSGO,Dota,Other esports games with no problems. My CSGO is running at barely 60 fps on lowest settings and dropping below 50. My cpu usage is around 20-40 % when playing games. HDMI is plugged in the RX460,not motherboard. Full pc specs - AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7 APU, (3.1ghz) , Sapphire RX460 OC 2GB,MSI A68HM-P33 V2 Motherboard, 2x 4gb Ram sticks. And it's the same with other games. It should be able to run them but i get low fps. Windows 10 issue? Drivers are up to date and everything is installed.

The solution was cleaning the cooler.

Thanks to all of you guys. Now my CPU is running at 52 thermal margin and using the AMD TURBO feature clocking up to 3.8 ghz. I dont know which one fixed it. There was a 3 cm pillow of dust between my fan and heatsink and i added thermal paste because there wasn't a lot of it.

Nice. So did you actually see fps increase?

3 inch dust bunnies? Def APM throttling

Yes there was a FPS increase. In CSGO from 30-50 to 120+ on highest settings ingame.
