So recently i opened a topic on this forum regarding my problem with bluescreens, i was having crashes and blackscreens and BSODs while gaming, it proved to be GPU-related, as not long after the topic was opened, my Sapphire HD 5850 died completely. I also got a lot of tips regarding HDD maintenance and security on that topic, it was closed when i bought myself a new Graphics Card. My old problem was solved, no more bluescreens.
So here is where a new problem starts, this new Graphics Card i bought is a XFX RX 560 4GB, a card i read a lot about, watched reviews, benchmarks, read owner's opinions, everything before eventually deciding to buy it.
But once it arrived and i finally installed it, eager to play my favorite games, now with better performance, i was thoroughly disappointed when i realized it was way worse than my old GPU.
In my favorite game, Skyrim, i used to get anywhere from 50~70fps while playing depending on the load, this is on max settings with everything on, it kept the fps stable too. With the new GPU, i get anywhere from 15 to 50fps, it varies wildly and stutters A LOT.
In GTAV i used to get a decent 50fps with medium settings on the old GPU, now i'm sitting on 30~40 with stutters and framedrops (sometimes it completely freezes for a couple of seconds)
Even CSGO, a game this card is marketed for, it performes way worse, i used to play at around 120~140fps, never less nor more, this was on high with filters on, now i get from 40~80 on very low with everything turned off.
At first i thought "I screwed up, this card is really bad, shouldn't have bought it", but then while researching my issues i realized this is not at all how it's supposed to perform, CSGO per example, i've yet to see a video where it performs badly, most sit at around 200fps while on Very High with filters in 1080p, and i can't get more than 60fps with everything on very low playing on a 1366x768 resolution. I tried cleaning the drivers and reinstalling them three times, didn't work, switched cables, didn't work, i even wiped my hard-drive and installed it in a completely clean installation of Windows, same thing.
The card seems to be okay too, at least looking at it trough AMD's tools, activity seems normal, clocks seem normal, everything seems normal.
So i am torn, is this GPU damaged, is it bottlenecked by some other component, or is some other component not working how it's supposed to?
Here's my system specs:
