Need Help. Extremely low FPS. Unplayable

[veloalex]

I have put my new Rog Strix rx460 4GB in my computer with an i5-2400, 8gb ram, 550w psu, and win 7 pro. But keep getting extremely low fps on any games even on ultra low; around 1-8 fps. It was a fresh computer when I did this, meaning I bought it on Ebay and it was cleaned and factory reset, so I installed updates for windows, all 78 of them, and ran the install drivers for Asus and Intel. The GPU is recognized and seems to be working because it is displayed in my device manager and I can overclock it, but I still have zero luck on being able to play any games. I dont know what the next step is, Ive already gotten rid of all my drivers and booted into safe mode and reinstalled them but no luck.

Im really hoping for some help here on what I can do or just pointing me where to go.

Thanks

You plugged your display into your GPU, not the Integrated graphics via the motherboard, right?

(discrete graphics is your GPU)

Heres a screenshot of my screen, usage is pretty low just sitting here, with under 10%

Even playing games it is not very high either, just fps is so low and slow you cant do anything.

The forest, team fortress 2, and war thunder. all unplayable.

 

And I forgot to mention there is some weird feedback in the audio too. even playing youtube videos it sounds like a screeching fax machine for microseconds.

Here is another screencap. Tried the forest again even windowed and pretty small, but its 8fps and the cpu load isnt high at all.

Im sorry, what do you mean "rma it"?

 

I mean im not sure what part is faulty. I had the 460 running on my little brothers computer yesterday and it ran perfectly on his system. So it is something with my computer but I dont know what.
