Quite recently (6 months ago) I bought a new PC and it worked perfectly fine until now.

My confg.:
Radeon rx 470 8gb
Intel i3 6100
ASRock H170M pro4s
8gb ram
128gb ssd, 1tb hard.

First of all my monitor stopped working, but I fixed that by putting DVI cable into other socked. Okay, my monitor works now, but since then when I run a game like Fifa 17 or PUBG (games that I usually can normally play) it starts lagging pretty badly, while game like CS:GO work fine. I checked for viruses, cleaned my pc inside and I am still having the same problem. I think problem might be a graphics card, but I am not sure.
Please tell me guys your opinions, thanks!

That will be why your FPS are low then. Your games are running on the CPU's onboard graphics rather than the GPU's. You need to plug the monitor into the GPU.

You are not clear in your initial post whether the problem was that the monitor input stopped working or if the GPU output stopped working.

If you had your monitor connected to the GPU with a DVI to DVI cable and get no picture, but plugging the monitor into the motherboard with DVI to DVI works ok, then there could be a problem with your GPU's DVI output. You could try a different connection e.g. HDMI to connect your monitor to your GPU. If your monitor only has DVI input you can get an adapter cable that goes from the GPU's Display Port to the monitor's DVI port.

If you previously had your monitor plugged into your GPU with HDMI (for example) but that doesn't work, you should try to establish whether it's your monitor's HDMI input or your GPU's outputs that are causing the problem.

You haven't given us enough information to say what exactly is happening, but hopefully that helps.

Was this a PC you bought from PC Specialist? I assume not?

If it is a problem with your GPU, it will almost certainly still be under warranty from the GPU manufacturer. You could contact them for support and possible RMA.

Thank you man on the help, today my new monitor arrived and it doesnt work either, so problem is definetly in GPU input or output. I dropped my pc on a service, so I will see what they will say.
