Pc slowed down after changing GPU

[Dyaneth]

Hi Everyone!

(This is my first topic, so if I am doing anything wrong just help me correct it^^)

 

Recently I bought a new GPU to my 7-8 years old system, after using it for a week, I noticed that a pc completely became slower. The games I tried/played are going well without any problems(I am gonna give u better infos about those later on!). So talking about my system:

PSU: Chieftec CTG-500-80P 500W

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P (latest BIOS)

CPU: AMD FX-6300 6core 3.5 GHz (never tried to overclock)

New GPU: SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX580 4GB (2 weeks old)

RAM: Hyperx Fury Black 2X4GB 1600 MHz

HDD: WesternDigital Blue 500GB

SSD: Kingston A400 120GB (Bought it 2 years ago)

Monitor: AOC 22v2Q 22" 75Hz (connected with HDMI)

+ I have 3 Thermaltake Riing RGB case fan

++ All the drivers are the newest ones

 

Unfortunately after the GPU arrived I've got to know more about bottlenecking (I know my bad, I didn't deep search web about that, but didn't even know what that was sooo...YIKES). But I did not see any problems playing games so far.

Games I played: Overwatch on Highest settings(Epic) stable 75-85 FPS, Sekiro On High settings ~70 FPS and I play League of Legends most of the time and i noticed that sometimes i have lower FPS than it was with the older GPU (ASUS GT740 1GB), but it could be cause of bottlenecking.

My biggest problem is everything else became hella slower browsing, opening any program and etc., but Windows still boots up as fast as it did.

I've read several topics on Reddit about PSU aging that it could be the problem here.

But mostly i am clueless. That's why I came here to the Professionals^^

Could u guys help me figure out, what causes the problem?

 

Thank you for any reply and any help!

So it’s not slower in games?  It is slower outside of games?  What was the old gpu?

[Dyaneth]

Basically yes. Games are running well, but if I am only browsing on the web the pages loads in pretty slow, when I want to watch a video in Youtube, the video loads in sloooow with almost the lowest resolution and any other program does load in pretty slow.

The old GPU was an ASUS GT740 1GB

thats a big step.  Running better might not mean running well though.

With the new GPU I can play newer games on a decent atleast 60+ FPS on high settings. As far I see the games are running better.

But perhaps not as good as they might.  Did you update drivers and set up the AMD software?  Also what cpu?  Just to get an idea.

[Dyaneth]

All the software and drivers are up to date!

My CPU: AMD FX-6300 hexa-core 3.5 GHZ

Slower CPU than even mine then.  I don’t know anything about PSU aging.  PSU strikes me as one that wouldn’t age particularly well though.  You do seem to be having problems in light loads but less or none in heavy ones.  I may want to look this up.  My PSU is nearly as old as yours is.  One would think a cpu slowdown under light load isn’t what one would see from a PSU.  I Could be wrong.  Like I said I don’t know what the symptoms an aging PSU might produce. 
I got nothing though.  It doesn’t sound like a bottleneck problem because while you might have a bottlenecked PSU and it is limiting your output, it would still do light load stuff fine.

 

In your position just to make sure there isn’t some other weirdness I might want to look at cpu usage at the various load levels and see if there’s more CPU usage in these light loads than there should be.  Your GPU is able to outrun your CPU.  High load level stuff should show very heavy cpu usage on at least several cores where light usage should show very little on just a couple.  GPU should also show nearly zero load in lightweight tasks.

 

Very well might see nothing though.  Another point of suspicion might be the newness of the drivers starting to have a problem with old hardware.  My CPU is older than yours but it’s intel so it might not have a problem like you are having just because intel not AMD.

All I got I’m afraid.

GPU works as it tends to. In lightweight tasks it had 0-2% load, while watching videos it goes up max to 25%.

 

In idle the CPU shows really low loads, but still going with the example, while watching videos 3 of the cores are going stable 80-90% (idk if it's good or not, but these are the numbers).

 

While playing in Overwatch the CPU is almost all the time 100% load, but while playing e.g Sekiro it had 50-60% load only.

I tried it in CS:GO on the highest possible settings i have 80+ FPS and 60-70% CPU load.

So CPU and GPU are doing more or less what they are supposed to.  No help there.  All I got is driver issues with fxcpus or the PSU aging thing you mentioned which I do not understand.  If it was a going senile PSU thing the PSU would need to be delivering not quite but very very close to enough power at low power requirements but could still keep up on the heavy stuff.  
sorry I couldn’t be of more help

Ty for the help^^

I will try to look after it somehow.
