Problem with low frame rate on RX 580 8 GB
Problem with low frame rate on RX 580 8 GB
Hi, your friend had a setup for mining bitcoin and in short, my brother purchased some components at a discount (around 250 US$).
The motherboard is a Biostar TB360-BTC pro 2.0 (compatible with 9th generation CPUs and DDR4 2666 32GB RAM).
I'm running an old 720p Samsung Monitor (1360*768), using an RX580 GPU with 8GB, an Intel i3-9100f CPU, a Wali GW-EPS2000bl PSU (90+), 250 GB SSD with 100 GB for the drive and 2 TB external HDD. The power supply should suffice since it handled this rig plus five more GPUs.
I'm using Windows 10 Pro and an 8GB RAM module (2400 MHz, Gloway/Micron).
The CPU cooler model isn't specified—it's just the main one, and the GPU cooler is identical. The monitor dates back to the 2010s. The system itself is no older than two years since mining began.
All parts were used for mining. I've installed Resident Evil 8, which runs smoothly at 70+ during peak settings except when switching image quality from 1 to higher levels (max 2). Open-world titles like Assassins Creed Origins, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider Man 2018, and Cyberpunk 2077 perform differently—sometimes dropping to around 27 frames in AC Origin.
I was surprised by the RX 580's performance as a 1080 machine. Interestingly, for some games, the frame rate drops noticeably unless you adjust settings like NPC population or sky rendering. Horizon Zero Dawn often reaches about 60 frames at medium and max settings, looking better than AC Origin. Cyberpunk usually stays around 45 frames, with only minor changes (up to 5 frames) under certain conditions. Spider-Man performance is similar.
Could there be an issue with the rig, CPU, or RAM? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU. If it's been in service for a while, please include the age of the PSU as well. On second thoughts, please list the specs to your build like so:

Bad idea. How long was the system used for mining and what parts were in the rig that was used for mining?
Was the OS installed with that motherboard/CPU or was a disk containing an OS from another system awkwardly placed inside? PSU information is definitely required. It might not be affecting your frame rate, but a poor one could create a more serious problem that needs fixing first. The ER will wait for the broken foot if you're having a heart attack.
Additional updates included a specific operating system for mining. I linked it to a friend's machine, removed it during Windows 10 installation via USB, then added the remaining software. The SSD now hosts modern games.
PSU should be enough as it was supporting this rig plus 5 more GPUs
If you don't want to share information, how are you expecting us to help you? Include make and model of the PSU and it's age.

Where did you source the OS installer from?
The issue is I don't know anything else, but I'm willing to explain. However, I believe it provided over 1000 watts, though I'm not sure when it was created—it wasn't used for more than two years at most. You should get the ISO file from the Microsoft website, and the rest follows a guide.
Yes, understanding the PSU is essential, not just relying on assurances. It's important to focus on the facts and examine them directly.
