Extremely low fps with rx 480

tjs1852 · Mar 22, 2017

My pc is running slow and games are unplayable.
I just installed an amd rx480 4gb and it seems like my last card was working better, i'm thinking this is because of the other parts on the pc

motherboard: msi h81m-p33 (is the rx 480 compatible with this part?)
Cpu: intel core i3 4170
Ram:4gb
Psu: 875w

Is it a necessity to upgrade my parts?

tjs1852 :

do you monitor temps?

did you uninstall the old drivers before swapping the new gpu in?

did you install the newest drivers from the amd website?

make and model of the power supply?

maxalge :

i've uninstalled the previous drivers and seem to have installed the latest drivers. i don't actively monitor temps and the pcu is Thermaltake, tough power XT,

what games are you trying to play?
and get a hardware monitor so you can see the CPU/GPU useage

Are you using the same video settings in the game as before?

TristanKing · Mar 22, 2017

Have you plugged the video cable into the mobo instead of the GPU?

Also, you should really upgrade that RAM to 8gb.

no that should be all good , i plugged it into the pcu and the gpu and i'm saving for another 4gb for the spare slot

well since i had a cheap card before this the only half modern games i felt like trying at the time was grid 2 and sims 4. and what program do you or someone else suggest?

gdmaclew :

i manually changed all the settings to the lower settings after i had trouble playing it at the recommended settings

That's not what I asked. If you say your PC is running "slow", you must be comparing it to "before". We need to know what the "before" settings were on the old card vs. the "new" settings on the new card. Can't do "apples to oranges".

well it's been a while but i could run both games on low to med settings with 30 to 60 fps on both of the 2 games mentioned and now the pc can't run both on low with about 10fps to not running at all

It sounds like windows automatically installed your video drivers. after your uninstallation. Go to the manufacturers site and install the latest drivers from their website:

Before you do that, go to guru3d.com and download and run their DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) utility. Run it in Safe Mode.
Then install the new drivers.

Did you fix the problem?

TristanKing :

the problem with my pc was that my motherboard wasn't compatible with the rx480. the card still runs with my pc but i have purchased another motherboard and i will be buying a core i7 when i have the spare money and rebuilding my pc.

i will be selling my current motherboard, cpu and ram and i'm already selling my old gpu (Geforce gt 630) just so i don't go broke
