What kind of card do you have? Do you have the reference or an aftermarket cooler?

Buys RX 480 only for Mincecraft and says i feel robbed.

 

LUL

Can you leave if you are just going to act obnoxious and unhelpful. I bough the RX 480 to play triple A titles alongside Minecraft. I need to have stable FPS in Minecraft because I work as a Java developer and it is a source of revenue for me.

The 'MSI Armor 4G OC', I thought MSI usually has decent coolers?

It's your CPU more than any GPU, Nvidia may have worked a bit better due to lower driver overhead.

 

Perhaps tell us how much faster it is in actual games, not a CPU benchmark by Java inc.

Well your card uses an 8-pin connector, not e 6-pin one. You should have a look at that. THere should be a dual molex to PCI-e 8Pin adapter in the package your card came in.

But does not the aftermarket cards take a 8 pin and you had a 6 pin?

I would not recommend adapters espacially for that shitty power supply

Learn to read the whole thread mate, he's talked about other games already

My card uses a 6pin.

I just reinstalled my drivers. Sadly, that didn't fix anything.

Ahh perhaps buy a PSU not a battery pack, might be the deal breaker.

Does your PSU have a 8-Pin PCI-e connector? Your card uses that, not the 6-pin one.

[Frode]

Dont you have a another power supply instead for that shitty one, lying around?

The card physically doesn't have room for an 8pin.

You're sure you don't have something other than a RX480? The card you listed should have a 8 pin power connector...not 6...

It has a single 6+2 PCIe power plug...I own one of em by the way

The 6pin connector fills up the port. I don't know

If it's definitely that card then it should have a 8 pin connector...you can even see it in Amazon's product pictures...

I must have an 8pin connected then, because whatever cable I have connected occupies the full port.

[Lawliet93]

Jap, unplug your 6pin and have a look at it... Are you sure, that you don´t have a rx470 (it uses a 6-pin), check the box just to make sure.

It is definitely a 480..I ordered it straight from amazon.

Since your PSU has a 6+2 PCIe connector, is the 2 "bit" plugged in? (if it isn't then the 2 extra "pins" would be "dangling" by the 6 pin)

 

Also, can you try rolling your drivers back to 16.11.x just to make sure it's not a problem with the newest drivers?

I've already done that...Didn't work.

If the 2  bit were to be hanging out, wouldn't the card not even work?

Note quite, they're extra ground cables where it's basically telling the PSU and GPU that it can draw 75 extra watts from the 3 power wires on the 6 pin
