High End Computer, Garbage Performance

[Freelok]

Hello everyone. So, it seems I'm having a Christmas Dilema- my brand new computer is running horribly. And no, that's no understatement. Watch Dogs Two, for example, runs at an average of 18-23 FPS and the lowest settings. This is a brand new, prebuilt computer, so I have virtually no Idea what the issue could be. Anyone want to help me out? I'll post the specs under here.

(For those lazy folk)

• 3.5 GHz AMD Vishera FX-8320 Eight-Core
• 16GB of DDR3 RAM
• 120GB SSD + 1TB 7200 rpm HDD
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU (6GB)
• DVI / HDMI / DisplayPort
• 24x Dual-Layer Super-Multi Drive
• Gigabit Ethernet
• 4 x USB 3.0 and 4 x USB 2.0 Ports
• USB Keyboard & Mouse Included
• Windows 10 Home (64-bit)

I also have a pretty nice monitor.

Monitor.

If anyone's able to help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Cheers.

You have made me discover that my graphics card is the wrong one.

That's a fucking kick in the ass holy shit.

Instead of the GTX 1060 which I ordered, I got an AMD Radeon R7 250 Series which is, easily to say, fucking garbage. Time to get a refund.

Seems like the company tried to rip you off.
Good luck with the refund.

Before you do ANYTHING, as stupid as this may sound, make sure your PC monitor is plugged into the correct slot at the rear of your tower. You could have plugged it into another graphics card or your computer's built-in graphics card by mistake.

That's always a possibility, yeah. However, I've sent my PC to a computer technician, which doesn't believe that the graphics card is the real issue. Also, I plugged in the monitor to the correct slots on my computer; I checked about four times.

You've already made the dire mistake of sending your PC to a technician when 95% of issues are home solvable

Not to mention if the "Technician" can't find a problem, he'll usually end up making one up so that he can grab some quick £$£ off of the customer. "Oh yes uh! CPU is very damage due to extended use this will cost £100" - proceeds to give you a 2009 Intel Pentium processor as a replacement.

if i talk like this is a situation ive been in its because it is

They could be home solvable, but I, again, have some form of autism because I couldn't figure it out.

Just sell the computer and buy off a reputable company like ASUS or something instead of going for the cheap option and getting scammed.

To be honest you should probably avoid buying prebuilt PCs at all times. I understand that it's the easiest way to get a gaming PC and it seems like the best way to get a gaming PC to a lot of people but it sort of isn't the smartest way to go about it.

In addition to being overpriced for their specs, many high-end prebuilts also don’t perform as well as they should. What I see a lot of companies do is pair this really expensive component with a really weak and cheap component. Also I should warn you that you're buying a CyberPowerPC which have been well known for having major PSU problems and short life time. I'm not sure whether they still do have PSU problems but their reputation has gone down by a ton the last couple of years.

You should honestly do a lot of research on computer parts and try to build one yourself. But if you really want to get a prebuilt PC I would go with Origin PC, that's the only company I would ever trust with putting together my computer. Plus you can customize their builds yourself. I sound like a sellout but Origin PC definitely is the best company out there when it comes to prebuilt PC's allowing you a lot of customization options.

I have bought three pc's from pcspecialist.com

I'd also recommend getting a new processor. I'd recommend something on the lines of an i5 6600k or an i7 4790k 4.00 GhZ. GMod is heavy on CPU performance, so getting either one of these would be good.

The prebuilt wasn't the best of things to get, and I now know to build them myself. However, the only reason that I got a Pre-Built was because the purchaser, my brother, built his own computer, and it was an extremely tedious process that he didn't want to repeat. Also, though, we found the problem with the computer, and it was that every. single. fucking. component. was out of date. But they're cutting us nicely and giving us a cheap price, so in the end it all worked out.

I'd also recommend getting a new processor. I'd recommend something on the lines of an i5 6600k or an i7 4790k 4.00 GhZ. GMod is heavy on CPU performance, so getting either one of these would be good.

Implying I got a gaming computer to play Gmod.

edit:

@DoubleD I have a pretty nice processor, can't quite remember what it was off the top of my head but it's still a pretty good pick.

60 Hertz. It could be more, sure, but the monitor is still hella nice.
