Hey guys, I bought a new GPU (Galax 1650 EX) and I noticed that now my PC takes more time to launch Steam and it´s almost impossible to navigate through Chrome tabs if I´m downloading a large file. The system works fine and the game performance is okay as expected, but the only weird thing is that Steam and Chrome are slower now that I have this new GPU (Chrome runs normal if I´m not downloading anything). I could read in other threads some possible troubleshootings such as uninstalling Geforce Experience but it´s still the same. See below my specs:

ProcessorAMD Ryzen 5 4600G with Radeon Graphics
Memory1TB SSD (337 GB free)
Video CardNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
Operating SystemWindows 10
RAM16 GB
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

What GPU were you on prior to the GTX1650 EX by Galax? Did you Run DDU to remove all GPU drivers prior to dropping in the GTX1650, then manually installing the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site, in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?

You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age.

I was using the integrated graphic card that comes with the processor, I know this may sound dumb but, do I have to remove the previous drivers from the integrated card? They are still there because I thought they won’t interfere and stay in the background. My PSU is a XPG Pylon 650w and I bought it ten months ago
