[SOLVED] Worse FPS after GPU upgrade

[Nathan Delf]

Issues:Had good performance with previous rx 570, but upgrading to a 1070ti has resulted in even worse framerates. Games that would stabilize around 60fps at low settings now average 20-30 on even lower settings than before. It’s worth mentioning that I upgraded to a 144hz monitor but I can’t even run games at 60 like I used to before.

Your CPU CAN'T HANDLE a 1070Ti.

You need to move on to a new platform.

The first thing I'd do is wipe out all the AMD videocard related drivers, taking care to not remove the motherboard related AMD chipset drivers. Then wipe out all the Nvidia videocard related drivers. Then install the Nvidia drivers again.

Considering your CPU is an FX, I'm not sure how high a framerate you can expect but it certainly shouldn't be worse than with the 570.

Bottleneck from the CPU..

Also did you properly remove your old gpu drivers?

A 1070ti is a waste to run on the FX platform.

yes, used ddu in safe mode and removed them, then restarted and isntalled nvidia drivers. Then restarted.

Yes, trying to get him to upgrade(as its my bros pc) to a ryzen or i5-8600k, which would you recommend?
