so i bought one of the new radeon 5700 xt 50th anniversary edition graphics cards and its replacing my old radeon 4670 which is i think 11 years old. (imgur album) anyways with the same settings i’m not really getting much of a fps increase. is there anything other than graphics drivers that might effect this? i’m running an hp z220 tower with an i7-3770, 4x4gb patriot g2 1333mhz ram, and an intel dc3520 960gb ssd so cpu, ram, and ssd, all have plenty of headroom for the games i’m playing. its in a proper pcie 3.0 x16 slot. i am however using a hdmi to vga adapter. think that could have something to do with it? i do run linux xubuntu 18.04.2LTS 64 bit btw

i dont have any numbers but i do know i now have missing ui which are now large black area’s and i cast 1 spell and the game crashed.
i only ask because i have a c49rg90 on its way to my house and i’m a little worried that if that card cant power a 1600x900 monitor any better than my ancient 4670 how is it going to handle 5120x1440?
yes those aren’t the most popular games or the most demanding, however those are the games i play the most.
