changing graphics cards?

[Joco1971]

I just recently installed a gtx titan ..from a 7970 do I need to reinstall my games ? it seems as though crisis 3 is causing my pc to freeze?

No, you do need to uninstall the AMD drivers and install the Nvidia ones though.

it did and ran cc cleaner...but my load times seem to be a bit slower than my 7970 on crisis??

You need to completely uninstall your ATI drivers. There are many ATI driver cleaners out there to help you get rid of them.
Here is an example of one:

And you don't need to uninstall your games.

This could be the issue.

At 1080p you should expect 15-20 more FPS from the Titan over the 7970 in Crysis 3.

Don't just uninstall the old drivers, make sure they are completely clean. Can try something like http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html to get rid of all the files on your computer from that old GPU.

No, The only thing you would want to do is fully uninstall any and all drivers and AMD programs that relate to that video card, then install the Nvidia drivers and software. The games are independent of the drivers and do not need to be reinstalled.

Your CPU is the problem. It is quite bad actually. Now that the CPU is higher end, you will get more CPU related issues (stuttering).

it seem to do better with the 7970..lol my cpu? whats wrong with it ?

 

[tiny voices]

Your CPU is just weak. Plain and simple the x1xx CPUs from AMD are CRAP. AMD even said this themselves. This is why the x3xx CPUs rolled out so fast. Now that you have a better GPU, you are getting CPU stutter because your CPU cannot keep up. This type of CPU bottlenecking usually results in higher frame time variance and is MUCH more noticeable and annoying than standard FPS drops from a weaker GPU.

Your 8150 is easily beaten by 5 year old i5s and i7s in Crysis.

What resolution are you playing Crysis 3 at?

 

[Joco1971]

ok is my score good I don't really understand how to read and interpet

Don't worry about the score. It means nothing when comparing to other games.
