GPU Low Performance. What causing this?

Testing with games that dont receive updates anymore will also be more consistent, GTA 5 and Terraria are being updated afaik

Thanks for explanation. It started to happen after an Wattman crash i think. Is there's a way to manually reset WattMan settings?

i think here the problem was just the hardware you had, sadly hardware cant live forever, as i learned with my core quad, if you want some free performance, get some quad or extreme

what, they are cheap what you mean, i got mine for damn $30

quad core HT CPUs like the E3 1230v3 cost about $80, meanwhile before the pandemic $120-140 for a six core is pretty normal. 4 thread CPUs you've got is too few to be worth a platform and RAM change for OP.

hmm good point, but atleast he could get some damn core quad, or if he can, a better xeon idk?

I just use afterburner for all my tunings, not AMD's software especially for the older GPUs (before they start adding functions that only their own software can toggle). Is there a reset button ear the top right corner of the UI? Btw older AMD cards could be unstable on the factory overclocks they were given, which means the reset function cannot correct. Need to manually underclock in this case.

Best Xeon is if i'm not wrong for LGA 771 Xeons, is X5470. But there's not that much peformance difference between this GPU an my Xeon X5450. X5470 has 10 multiplier X 333MHz and X5450 has 9 multiplier X 333MHz. X5470 could get better OC results though.

His CPU is already a quad

LGA771 tops at quad cores. LGA1366 (the replacement) introduces 6 cores for the first time, dont need me to elaborate how difficult it is to buy a working X58 board at all.

GPU runs at 1100 MHz for core clock and 1600 MHz for memory. I think the stock clocks for R9 280X is 1000/1500.

YO CAN OC YOUR XEON?

I MEAN THE FUCKING CORE 2 DUO AND CORE 2 QUAD

I was thinking about the get an X58 board and 6C/12T Xeon as well. But it was too expensive in my country.

The funny part is the Ryzen 3 3100 launched at $99 MSRP, its now going for around $250 CDN. The pandemic has utterly screwed up the CPU pricing structure. You can still get good deals on used parts in certain cases but you really have to know what you are looking for.

Exactly, if you have an good board, you can OC an LGA 771 CPU for sure. But, it's was getting too hot, i was dropped it to the stock for safety reasons. I've got it to 3.87 GHz at 1.45V and temps was at 95 degrees at %0 load. Because, i have an Intel stock cooler from 2007, i think.

It's the same architecture, even one of the later ones already (after moving from 65nm to 45nm), performance wont improve.

Before Sandy Bridge, nothing can't be overclocked. Multiplier locks exist, but FSB locks do not. The chipset (northbridge back in those days) do affect your mileage however.

you do not know how pissed im about that problem still, I WAS GOING TO BUILD A PC, but then COVID WAS LIKE, yayayyaya RAISE the fucking prices, so now its IMPOSSIBLE to build a bang for buck $500 that actually HAS A LAST GEN GPU, or more importantly, a actual msrp gpu like the 3060 ti, if i had a 3060 ti and a ryzen 5 3600 oh boi i would have a easy $700 build

In my country, even an RX 5500 XT is about 380$ when converted to dollars.

ya we have import tax so msrp is CHEAP
