Hello all, I recently upgraded my GPU from a AMD Radeon 6670 to my current Sapphire 7870 OC edition, the 6670 ran games like minecraft and SWTOR just fine, on tweaked settings, however ever since I installed my new GPU the 7870, all hasn't been pretty. I first began playing games like skyrim, where I would have micro-stutters, I tried many different fixes, with no success. So then I tried my older games, that worked fine on my 6670, and set my 7870 to the same exact settings, on my previous 6670 to test it, and the 7870 actually performed WORSE, I would have constant fps drop, and stuttering, in some other games like bioshock I had constant crashing. I'm not great with GPU's or computers for that matter, this is all fairly new to me, so my guess is it's an issue with the 7870. I currently only have a 450 watt PSU, so I believe it could be a power issue, perhaps? Any help would be appreciated, thank's guys.
The rest of my specs:
AMD FX-6300 6 Core Bulldozer CPU OVERCLOCKED to 3.7GHz
Sapphire 7870 OC edition.
8GB DDR3 Memory
Corsair VS 450 watts
Running on a 1920x1080 monitor.
