[SOLVED] Why is my new GPU slower than my old one?

[HarukiNoobie]

I bought an RX 570 from ASUS, and I had a AMD HD 4850, and somehow, it's way slower in games than my old one. I have 12GB of DDR3 RAM, a Acer FX58 mainboard, and a i7 920. I don't want to use my old one, because its too slow, and I don't have the money for a new pc.

make and model of the psu?
new or used rx 570?

use ddu to uninstall the old gpu driver?

I did not use DDU, I bought a new RX 570, I think it's this PSU, but my dad told me it's 530W max. https://www.amazon.de/Ultron-UN450S-Netzteil-Version-schwarz/dp/B001IAH4RS

I will use DDU now though. I got the asus drivers from the box and will use them asap

which rx 570 model?
psu only have 1 6pin pcie connection.

You should get your drivers, straight from AMD.

Mine had a 6 pin connection, with two pins to connect to it.

I tried first with AMD, I'm going to try with the drivers that I got with my GPU, I think it's for my GPU

Rx 570 8GB from ASUS (ROG STRIX)

 

[HarukiNoobie]

I tried with new drivers, and oddly, it still is the same. Somehow, the GPU isn't stressed whatsoever! It didn't even use 20 percent of the GPU

CPU is probably throttling the GPU. Check CPU usage.

I don't think that it will be worse than my old GPU, or? It had 100 percent bottleneck with my CPU, and I got a new one because my GPU was too bad for my CPU, it seems that my CPU doesn't really have high usage.

 

[HarukiNoobie]

My CPU has a high CPU usage in total, but Minecraft only uses less than half of my CPU, and I have quite high settings.

 

[Red Neck]

That cpu will bottleneck that gpu I’m sure. Why do you say it’s slower? FPS is worse?

Yea, I know it's bottlenecking, but I might get a i7 980, the fps are around 6 times worse than my old GPU, you could say

gpu have 8 pin pcie power. how did you get the 6pin to 8pin?

 

[Red Neck]

I think he means it was a 6+2 connector..? From the psu

not the on the psu link that he posted.

Ahh must’ve missed that. My bad.

That PSU is 450W with just 300W on the 12V rail, which means it's effectively a 300W PSU. That doesn't cut it for your GPU.

I dunno, I got a 530W PSu, my dad said. I know it's from ultron, but probably rovably not that model

 

[rgd1101]

same brand? sound like they only make crap. get a better quality psu

I dunno, I dont have money but it says max output 530w

Look on the power supply, there should be several voltage rail amp ratings. Find the one listed under 12 volt and multiply the amps x 12, that is about what your power supply will output to the heavy use components. A good quality power supply will be very close to the max rating with that 12 volt rail. A cheap one will be more like half to 3/4.

You should not be getting 1/6th the frame though, did you connect the video cable to the video card when you swapped it or maybe you have it in the motherboard?

My CPU doesn't have integrated graphics, so if I did, I would probably get no video output, and yes, I put it in my GPU, don't worry
