I installed a new GPU recently. I installed a Radeon RX 480 (4gb). Upgrading from an Nvidia GeForce GT 780 (yes, I know, quite the jump). I was expecting an exponential jump in performance. What I got was worse performance than before. Games that I had run (albeit at 30 fps, low settings) now run at 1-10 fps. I can't imagine what is wrong with it. I've deleted old drivers and installed new drivers. Can someone please help? Thanks.
After I Installed a New GPU, My PC Ran Games Considerably Slower
- Thread starter DomRom123
- Start date
Processor: Intel Core i7 4790 @3.6 GHz
GPU: Radeon RX 480 4GB Model
8GB of RAM
PSU: Corsair CX 500
Mobo: Hp 732240-503 Envy 700 Memphisb Desktop Motherboard S115x
Note: I bought an HP Envy desktop and have upgraded some of the parts. (The GPU and the PSU).
What resolution are you gaming at? A 780 can still maintain 60 fps in most games at 1080p high settings, you may need to drop a few others in really heavy games. Something must have been wrong before too.
You definitely have the monitor plugged into the gpu and not the motherboard?

Run 3dmark and see what your score is, this will give a preliminary idea of where you're at. Testing games comes AFTER you're sure everything is working right. Games can have issues of their own with videocards and drivers, which is why they don't make good troubleshooting tools. Also, it's much harder to judge if your performance in Game X is similar to other people with the same setup as you, since there are so many variables at play.
