Alright. Just trying to get as much info as possible. What is your power supply? wattage brand etc?
I'm thinking it might be a software conflict or something simple. Can you go under nvidia settings (right click on desktop and open that) and make sure nvidia is set to global default instead of auto?
i tried overclocking my cpu and it goes up to 4.2ghz but i really didnt see much improvements from my 3.8ghz and the temp would get really high (my case sucks for air flow but it works for now, and yes its clean i dust it off all the time to make sure)
What I'm going to recommend is reinstalling windows completely eventually if we can't solve the problem. But I want to rule out other possibilities before I recommend that option
ok now this is something that has bothered me is that in the NVIDIA control pannel there is no drop down menu in the global settings only the settings themselves.. there is no #1 and #2 i click global tab and it just shows settings.
also power supply is 700 watt thermaltake TR2
what would reinstalling windows do? i run stress tests fine and movies/videos amazingly with plenty of fps but games just dont perform..
i was also thinking the CPU bottleneck i have been told that if i get like an i7 it will work better with my NVIDIA and get 40% fps increase but idk if that is still 100% true, still looking to get a good i7 tho as well side note but for now this problem.
You'd be surprised what a reinstall of windows could do. lol. Don't judge an option too quickly
😛
your totally right but i was just wondering what it could acutally do, basically all reinstalling windows would do is reinstall/fix any broken/missing files and possibly drivers but for this case i dont really see that being the problem here but i am very well open to being wrong at any time. =D
that's exactly why I'd reinstall it. I'm thinking it has to be a driver issue or something is interfering with your gpu. What that is, I can't say.
Then again you wouldn't really lose anything by reinstalling windows. I see people spend hours diagnosing their computers and in the end just basically do a clean install of windows to fix it. This low fps problem and that really big drop is what's making me think it's a driver conflict.
Can't hurt right?
But if you really don't want to, my next option is install the previous drivers that were released. Not the newest ones and see if that fixes it.
(Or going off the bottleneck theory, you could try overclocking your cpu. I seriously doubt it's this though)
