I recently bought a RX550 off of amazon from maxsun, and it hasn't been preforming as well as it should despite having better specs than my previous graphics card. I tried playing Yakuza Kawami 2 off steam and I get 20 fps on medium and 14 on high, even though with my previous graphics card I got around 40-45. I've even tried formatting my PC to see if it was corrupted drives and no luck. Here are my builds specs

One thing for me to note is that my computer is from 2017 and I've been jacking it with ram and graphics. I don't know if there for there is a problem with the motherboard or what not but it's been fine in every other department besides graphics.
If someone can help me find a solution to this I'll be forever grateful.

The rx 550 is an old graphics card, your lucky to get 15 fps

Maybe so, but it should do better than 15 fps anyway. My previous graphics card was a 2gb and ran the game at 40. I figured out the issue anyway. Turns out the graphics card was either faulty or the sale was a scam because the ram came up as only 1 million bytes. I accepted for a return and luckily got a refund. Also age doesn't mean power, the thing still is pretty alright judging from the benchmarks.
Out of curiosity, what was your previous card?
It was a Radeon R7 200 series. It was a little power house and ran most things pretty well which blew my mind, but I gave over to a friend since he was in need of graphics card and I was already gonna get a new one; so much for that though. I'm currently using a Radeon HD 7770 Series which isn't as good, but it's all I got at the moment.
You would need a rx560 to beat some of the r7 200 series on performance.
