Hey guys, I recently upgraded my pc with a new case & water cooling system, Since the upgrade i've done some gaming & noticed some pretty bad stuttering during the game, I'm used to being able to play any game at max settings 1080p with no issues. Titles like Apex legends, Call of duty MW, Diablo 3, Heroes of the storm, Overwatch, etc. now my PC can barely run on the lowest settings without glitching and stuttering in game, even the games with lowest requirements. I've used Userbenchmark a couple times throughout my attempt to troubleshoot, & each time it notified my gpu is now running at 0th percentile & has a 4.50% performance rating saying its unsuitable for 3d games.
So far I've removed the GPU & switched the pcie power connector to make sure it was plugged in and connected properly & rebooted computer, as well as used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) & did a clean install on the latest drivers (which i always keep up to date anyways) And to no avail, same rating, same performance. I'm convinced my GPU may have died out during the transfer to a new case, or maybe somehow the slot is not working properly, I'm not sure what more i can do to troubleshoot these issues. The only thing keeping hope is that despite this massively impaired performance, the gpu is still being detected, the fan starts up upon booting proving its receiving power & then shuts off during regular pc use. (as im pretty sure it should right?) & i'm having no issues as far as the display, no artifacts, or screen tearing etc. Also noted that I've never done any GPU overclocking or CPU overclocking. Just does not want to perform at all when running any 3d games or applications.
What can i do here?
