Bad/outdated hardware?

[Logicjunkie520]

So im pretty dumb when it comes to stuff so i dont know jack so be patient with me

i have a R5 3600 on a rog strix b450-f with 16 gb ram and a xfx rx 570 8gb and having issues playing space engineers on medium wont even load world just crashes as soon as i load and is meh on low where is my hardware failing me i dont know what part i need to change

Considering I could play Space Engineers without issues with my old i7 875k (9year old cpu), 16gb of RAM and a 7970, unless the game changed drastically in the past year, I'd say it is unlikely to be the hardware's fault.

 

Which resolution are you playing at? Are your drivers up-to date? Did you attempt to overclock anything at all, the CPU, GPU or RAM ?

Undo all of that and retry with stock settings.

Any time "thing crashes soon as I load it" is almost always video driver's fault.

 

With AMD boards, people tend to forget to install the chipset driver, which means things may not operate at the correct performance level.

Don't forget to reboot afterward.

Ok should i return the rx 570 and get something newer i payed like 149 and also saw it looks like a heat pipe is missing theres a 3rd hole in the main block area and matching hole in heat sink if i get a different one my budget would be like 300ish

If your budget can increase and you can get something better, go for it.

If it's within your budget, go for it.
