    Brand new graphics card performing extremely poorly

    I just recently upgraded my graphics card from a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti to a AMD rx 570. However, I am seeing a performance downgrade. For example, on my old card, I could play minecraft at an average of 60 fps. Now, it never goes over 50 fps. The rx 570 is a much better card than the 750 ti, why am i receiving worse performance from it??

      CPU - AMD FX-6300
      PSU - Rosewill Green Series RG630-S12 630W
      RAM - 8 GB (G. SKILLPC3 - 12800 (DDR3-1600)) 2x4GB Memory
      Motherboard - ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0

      I know that some of my other components will be slightly bottle necking this new graphics card, but it still shouldnt be performing worse than my old 750 ti right?

        The most likely cause, this model of PSU was released ten years ago and only had a two year warranty so regardless of how old the PSU is in this computer it should have been upgraded before now to protect the other hardware.

        Unlike the GTX 750Ti which is so low powered it gets supplied its power through the PCI-E slot on the MB the RX 570 needs its own supplemental power dongle from the PSU and the aged PSU is obviously not up to the task.

        Suggest that you either borrow a known good 450W or above PSU to swap in for testing or have someone test your new GPU in their build, the latter only if it has an appropriate quality brand and output PSU.
