RX480 issues

[YamiYam]

I have a brand new xfx rx 480 and in every game i tried im having fps drops to 30 fps. On my gtx 960 the fps was much higher.

Specs
Rx 480 (newest drivers)
2x Intel quad core xeons @ 2.8ghz
20gb ddr2 ram
2 1tb hdd

So... Still having lower fps then my 960 did. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Then return the RX 480 if you are un-happy. Like you said, GTX 960 fairs better.

My guess would be your general specs are just too lower for newer hardware.

Quad, Dual CPUs, doesn't matter... the Intel GHZ in such a system is too weak for modern games for the most part. And newer GPUs will not really shine at low-res.

Not sure what Games, Settings, Resolution and all that is involved where you say the 960 fairs better, but something newer like an AMD 480 you'll want to run around 900p or 1080p, minimum

Sometimes it could be the games being picky for one reason or another. Alot of games will not do better with more physical CPUs. As they are coded to utilize 1x CPU for most part. At this point, better to have more cores that are clocked higher; versus more physical CPUs.

Some games would only benefit from 1x of your Quad CPUs, and being Intel at 2.8Ghz, that is fairly low for alot of newer games.

Thanks for your help guys but I found the issue myself. The issue was some of my CPU cores were parked. After unparking them games are running fine. Thanks for taking the time to try to help me
