So yesterday I bought a Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT, and was very excited to get it going in my machine.

I used DDU and had a problem free install of the drivers, and I haven't experienced any of the well known black screen or other driver problems, everything operates normally. other than the performance of the card seems to be much, much lower than anticipated. Here is my 3D mark when I run PerformanceTest:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1sWSW06RdSuoaYXzS4m9PB-sOctld8jGn

This seems a lot less than what I anticipated, which shows as 16500 on videocardbenchmark.net. I understand there is variance in each card, but this seems far below the mark, and I didn't go with the absolute cheapest card. Perhaps the difference is that the numbers reported on that chart come from actual 3d Mark and I ran the free performance test? Can someone confirm?

I suspect that something about my machine is limiting my video performance, because the card I upgraded from was a 1080, which not only scored lower than it should according to Passmark's chart, but it also scored in about the same range as the 5700 XT did.

Game performance (Hunt: Showdown probably being the most demanding) seems to match the benchmark numbers, as I'm only playing at 1080p so it shouldn't be all that hard to run games at medium-high settings and get good frames, but I find myself running in low settings and still being dissatisfied with how low the frames are.

What could be causing this? Please let me know if I need to provide any further info for analysis.

Thanks

Shot in the dark here.. but what PSU are you using? Have you confirmed it is capable of running your system? I assume it would be, as you didn't had issues with your 1080 but I'm still curious.

I have a thermaltake tr2 700 watt. I was wondering if it was the problem too, because after some googling apparently it isn't a good PSU.

And I did sort of have worse performance than I would have expected to with the 1080, but I wasn't sure if that was because I bought a bum used card or because I had some kind of system limitation.
