Graphics card better all the sudden?

[IsaacThePooper]

So I built a system with an RX 570 and it was struggling to run the dumbest games like Roblox and Insurgency, then my friend gave me his GTX 1080 because he was waiting for the rest of his PC to ship. So I popped in it and it worked great! But a few days later I had to give it back to him and put in my old RX 570 back into my system, but this time it was running better than it has ever before! Definitely not as fast as the GTX 1080 but it ran Roblox and Insurgency like a champ!

 

Keep in mind I ran DDU and installed the latest GPU drivers on all 3 graphics card swaps. The RX 570 has been on the same driver version since I built it. 

 

So what happened?

I don't know hard to say, there's so many things that could've happened to mess up your performance, you should've been aware of the RX 570 performance and tried to diagnose it, but since it's already fixed you'll never know what was causing it

There can be so many factors that changed it, so it is hard to tell.

One time i mounted my gpu poorly, and it got like 10fps, then i remounted it properly and all was fine.

It could also be drivers, software etc.

Your PC didn't want to disappoint you after the 1080 gave you high standards.

the ol' "unplug and plug it back in" strategy has helped throughout time, usually solving the unknown reasons why hardware doesn't behave. there could be any number of reasons as to why your 570 it wasn't doing what it was supposed to.

I just thought it was a slow low-end card that I only payed 100 bucks for.

Yeah It's probably just the GPU not sitting right on the PCIe slot, especially since the motherboard is a cheap Chinese "X79" board paired with a $30 Xeon lol

RX 570 is not a low end card, it's a midrange card, and as for Roblox the RX 570 should tear it apart like it's nothing.
