is my rx 570 broken ?

[Glatz]

i recently got a second hand rx 570 becaus i had bean looking around for a new graphics card, and found that the rx 570 would be able to run warzone at 80 to 90 fps at low settings, which is good enough for me, but when i get it and try it out i only let an average of 30 fps, and its at times performing worse then my old gtx 660. im pretty sure that its my gpu that is the bottle neck, because its running at 100%, and my cpu is only at 50%. i also have more than enough ram. what could be causning this ? i have also tried overclocking it whit the amd radeon software, but that did nothing for my fps.

Did you use DDU to clear the old Nvidia drivers BEFORE installing the new card?

What CPU? I agree with 5x5, probably a driver problem.

every one i have heard from in this forum is complaning abut this card in warsone not getting the fps they read it would get if the standard speed is reached your card is ok update your drivers not from windows but directly from amd could get like 10% more fps in some games

Download the latest drivers from amd.com

 

Also if you had a nVidia card before, it could be the game generated some configuration file with some settings that are still optimal for nvidia cards, but it 'forgot' to change them to be optimal for your AMD card.

Try finding out where that profile or settings is saved... usually it's somewhere like my documents > my games > company name > game or users > your username > application data > game name / company name  etc ... try renaming that folder before starting the game, and game may think it starts for the very first time.

Make sure you have settings optimal for the amount of video card memory ... maybe don't play at 4k if you have only 4GB of vram memory. Check stuff like antialiasing and sampling and so on, maybe it doesn't need to be 8x or 16x or some ridiculous value.

 

If you bought the video card used, I would try to determine if the person who sold you the card used it for mining or not. If so, it's possible that person modified the bios on the card to reduce the gpu frequencies and raise the ram frequencies (because mining requires very fast ram but little gpu processing power, so reducing gpu clock saves power)

Easiest thing you can do is to use ATI Winflash or GPU-Z to download the bios from your video card, and compare it with an original bios you can download from a site like Techpowerup, for example here's all the rx570 cards: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=&manufacturer=&model=RX+570&interface=&memType=&memSize=&since=

 

You can open the downloaded bios with a tool like SRBPolaris and see how the numbers compare to an original bios numbers.

 

If your bios seems modified,  program an original one.

 

You could also just program the bios from Techpowerup, but be absolutely sure it's the right manufacture (ex sapphire, gigabyte, asus) , model and memory size.
