980 Ti Performing Worse on certain games

[manwithnoshoes]

I recently upgraded my GTX 760 to a 980 Ti, and my processor to a i7-4790k. Most games see to run better, but Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion and Total War: Rome 2 actually run worse. I have checked my GPU drivers, reinstalled both games, and checked my connections. My power supply is 850 W, so it should be enough. How could upgrading to a better GPU and CPU result in worse fps?

Have you used driver sweeper to remove all traces of your old card before installing the latest driver

I did, but it may not have worked. What's the best program to do it?

Thats the best program

That's the one I used. I could try again, but I don't know that it would help. Is there a certain setting to more deeply clean the drivers out?

What brand is your PSU and how old is it? Also run 3d Marks Firestrike and post your benchmark results here. That way we can tell if your card is performing as it should

DDU is another good one

Alright. Give me a couple days (Holidays and all). I'll come back here with the results

This is the power supply I have. It's brand new, and I was told that 850 W would be enough. I am running my GPU, CPU, an SSD, an HDD, 16 GB of RAM, and 4 case fans. Is 850 W enough?

Here's the Fire Strike score: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/9950428. Is it up to spec?

Your psu is fine its good quality and more than enough watts for your system. Also your firestike scores are where they should be with out issue. This would lead to driver issues most likely. That or possible your new gpu is over heating and throttling. Run a few games and monitor your temps on the gpu with something like msi afterburner.

If they stay with in reason for extended periods then its most likely a driver issues with those games and the newer 980ti

The most I ever got was 50 Celsius. So I've decided it's just the game. Thanks for the help.
