Hello! I just recently upgraded to an rx 480 from my GTX 750 Ti and there is no performance increase. Infact, I feel like its a tiny bit worse. All of my drivers are up to date and should be working fine. I think its my CPU (AMD A10-7850K) causing a bottleneck, but could it cause that bad of one? Thanks in advance.

My powersupply isn't powerful to do that I don't think, (EVGA 430w). I'm only getting 40 fps in minecraft which is totally outrageous... I had higher framerates on my 750 ti. Could it be that my PSU is too weak or possibly I didn't seat the card correctly?

although i think AMD says 500w guru 3d reckons 450w is the minimum http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/amd-radeon-r9-rx-480-8gb-review,5.html so it may be the cause.

Upgraded it to a 600w last night, still the same issue.
