[SOLVED] Upgraded GPU but getting lower FPS ?

[hunterstacy]

I had a 1050ti and was getting decent frames in my games that I played. I recently upgraded to a 3060 and my frames have gotten significantly worse. I can't even run csgo on like 100 fps I upgraded so I can continue to stream but it is making my fps worse for some reason I cannot figure out. My CPU is a i7 8700 with 16gb ram.

PSU? Did you remove old drivers before installing new card?

450 Watt PSU and I dont think I have manually uninstalled the old drivers not really sure how never done it before

Make/model of PSU?

Download and run DDU in safe mode to remove old drivers.

INSIGNIA brand I think and I will try that

Replace that PSU ASAP! Get yourself a decent ~600 watt unit.

Very risky running that gpu using that psu.

INSIGNIA is not a good brand, you are gonna want a decent 550 watt bronze rated.

Didn't really think it could hurt at all I knew it wasn't the best but thought it could get the job done

Im sure it was fine for the old build. They recommend 600 for total system, you have 33% less than that. Not a great plan.

Could it be an issue for the frame droppage?

It's very hard to say how the gpu will react without enough power

That would be ideal!

Will probably get it checking out some games and see little to none improvement with uninstalling old drivers and getting the new ones

The problem with generic PSUs isnt just adequate power. Thye also die and take other components more often than quality ones.

Your problem right now is likely the old drivers not being deleted.
I still wouldn't wait too long to replace that PSU..

What do you mean replace the GPU? I just deleted old drivers or I thought with the DDU and I haven't really seen the increase from the 1050ti that I expected. There is not a major jump in performance and still can't stream games like I wanted.

Sorry I mean the PSU.
Have you tried benchmarking your pc.
It might show some issues that havent been mentioned and can see the gpu performance from another vantage point.

Not really good at troubleshooting much I normally resort here... what do you mean by benchmarking your pc?

https://www.3dmark.com/ Timespy is a good one. You can DL if free from Steam.

This one is also good to show if something like memory is lagging.
When running a benchmark I reboot the PC and dont open the any apps or browsers not being used for better results
