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.

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.

I have the 6pin connector in.

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.

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 ;)

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...

Does your PSU have a 8-Pin PCI-e connector?

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.

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 ;)
