Hi. After fiddling a little with my pc including installing a new psu and gpu the performance is so bad there must be something fundamentally wrong.
when i open dota 2 i get 1fps. the computer also seems more sluggish when opening none graphical programs.

parts list: Dell motherboard
rx460 gpu
evga bronze power 500watt
intel i7 920 2,67ghz
arctic cooler extreme freezer
nzxt s340 cabinet
os: ubuntu

noteworthy stuff: i dropped the hard drive when i was building. maybe i broke it? I got something something cmos error when i first booted. i do not currently have a cmos battery installed.

Any and all ideas would be much appreciated

Are you sure you have the correct GPU drivers installed?

It is version 16.04.

i am currently isntaling the propriatery drivers, but i dont think that alone is the problem, as the open source driver are quite decent these days.
