Please help R9 270x Problem

[Hazy]

So I picked up this graphics card with the intenion of being able to run some games at a decent framerate for the low cost.

 

I tried running minecraft and it was stuck at 7-11 FPS

 

League of Legends was 10-30 fps on LOW

 

Every game so far it has been the same deal and It's extremely frustrating!  I have installed the latest drivers and everything else, re installed them, checked if it was installed correctly, and honestly I'm stuck..

 

I know this card can handle games because I have seen what it is capible of. 

 

My build consist of: Processor: AMD FX-8120

                                Ram: 8gbs cosair 1600mhz

                                Power Supply: Cosair TX750 Watt

                                Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3

                                Cooling: Stock

                                        And of course the 270x

 

Please help.

Download the drivers

 

Make sure it is plugged in correctly to the PCIe slot

Does your particular card require a 6-pin connector?

If so make sure you have that plugged in

Games you have just quoted are all CPU intensive, your cpu should be good enough, have you installed motherboard drivers properly?

It's this exact card, all the connectors are properly installed

Not necessarily no matter what there is a problem and should be running better

I understand that, but I mean cmon... It's minecraft, I'm sure that it's supposed to run ALOT better than that, the same goes with LoL

 

 something is wrong and I just don't know what that "something" is

Have you installed latest version of JRE? Perhaps there is something that is running in the background like a virus or miner, check your cpu and gpu usage at 'idle' and check your background processes aswell

I know some people had problems with low fps on amd cards. They just reinstalled their OS and everything and it worked again.

Just to be sure, did you plug in your hdmi/dvi cable into the gpu and not the onboard graphics? 

 

btw is this a completely new build or just a gpu-upgrade?

It's just a GPU upgrade.

And actually no I have not, I'll give that a try right now.
