I know I don't have good hardware in this system but it should be performing better.
Amd athlon 5350 @ 2.1ghz
R7 360
8gb ddr3 1600mhz
asus am1 motherboard
Windows 10 pro
380 watt 80 plus certified working antec psu

The problem is that some games won't run well while others do. It appears to be older titles that are the worst with this. GTA 5 (med to high settings) would be around 30-45 fps while GTA 4 (lowest settings) was 15-30fps. another examble is tf2. Tfs caps at about 35fps and most of the time is around 23 fps.
I have no idea what is happening and any help would be great.

Graphics card requires PCIe x 16. The motherboard has PCI Express 2.0 x16 (x4 mode). That is, the slot runs at x 4. The video card setup you have is not a supported design.

That product from AMD is designed to provide customers outstanding value and performance at low power that was previously unavailable for buyers in emerging markets looking to build systems at home.

The Kabini based AM1 / FS1b solutions as such offer tremendous value for money, even gaming although at a very low level due to the APUs 128 shader processors.

cpu is weak, any game that is not optimized well will run poorly


this also includes online games, which mostly only use 1 -2 cores




I suggest running a benchmark like 3dmark or valley to see if the gpu is performing as it should

I will try that but Tf2 should be doing much better than gta 5

I might try that but this pc is my spare parts computer and I dont plan on upgrading with new parts. My other pc runs all these game very well (except gta 4 which refuses to launch).

I have found a new issue, my firestike graphics score was 2000 lower than it should be and that my graphics driver is not approved. It seems that my cpu is preforming properly and the gpu is all over the place. I will try removing it blowing out dust from the slot and will post any results.

This is the problem, thanks.
This gives me incentive to buy 8gb of ram for my q6600 on a p5q ws so I don't have this issue.
