GeForce GTX 760 2GB OC Windforce Edition Problems With Under Performing and FPS

[Eatr61]

Hello Comunnity!

First of all, sorry for my English, I'm Spanish and my English isn't very good, I will try to do my best to explain my problems and writte all the things clears for your understanding.

I have some "stupid" problem that I can't understand with my GeForce GTX 760 2GB OC Windforce...

The graphic card usually works fine and do his job well but somedays is breaking my patience.

Without reason, the card works but don't match with the performance all the people have with this Graphic Card, playing all kind of games like "Heroes of the Storm" - "Far Cry 3" - "Dishonored" - "Plants vs Zombies" - "The Witcher 2" - "Battlefield 3" - and so much more with max settings with low FPS and minimums frames.

This happend actually without touch anything of the Hardware and Software, from one day to another, the GTX 760 don't do his job properly and I try to search explanations and possibles causes and still don't found it.

I try all kind of things like reinstalling Drivers, cleaning components, uninstalling programs and drivers from others categories... And the problem persist.

Do you have any idea of what happens?

Feels like a strange problems because somedays all the things works fine and others the games suffers from bad performing.

Yeah something clearly isnt right. If you really do have a good thermal connection with the heatsink and cpu, its possible the temp sensor or motherboard is at fault - But I would really be double checking the CPU cooler, more often than not its just not transferring heat from the cpu properly.

I don't know what to do right now... I don't want to waste money in a Cooler if the problem is from the Motherboard or CPU, and buying another cooler and put in there without working can make get a little bit sad with the computer in general because I don't have any idea of what can be happens...

Because I'm a Computer Technician and this case in particular is destroying me.

Someone have an idea of what can be happen?

The CPU is at 92º - 92.5º temperature always even with a new cooler and new paste.

I'm starting to get worried about the CPU and the computer in general, that cpu temperature is very hard pushing and can destroy the CPU.

That intel cooler is not enough then.


Buy an aftermarket one like the hyper 212.

Seems like a usually recommendations in this forum, is one of the best cooler quality/price out there in the market...

How about this Cooler? http://www.pccomponentes.com/enermax_ets_t40_t_b_silence.html I read is near or better than the Hyper 212

Install msi afterburner, turn on cpu temp monitoring in the OSD, play a game.

Post back with max temps.

PD: I'm scare about use anothers game with more graphic load and use of power, but I can do it if you tell me.

cpu temps seem to be the issue and you are showing gpu temps...

Ups thats true, sorry... Well I mark your response like "Solution" can I make it back to the normal state?

 

[RobCrezz]

Yeah Ive unselected it.

Download and run Coretemp so you can monitor the CPU temperature and clock speed. I expect it is throttling the speed down very low due to the temps.

I'm new in this forums so I don't know exactly how it works all the system and options, sorry for make you work more...

BTW I can't upload an profile pic - avatar, always send me a 505 error even with 100x100 or 90x90 px.

Is there any problem in this forum about Double Post?

 

[RobCrezz]

Well that really odd.. your cpu temp and speed in windows is fine...

Have you tried a clean installation of windows to see if theres some software issue?

The other day I was desfragmentation my HDD and uninstalling trash with software I don't use... But now I remember a CPU upgrade driver instalation or something like that, but the problem was before that desfragmentation and upgrade of drivers if I don't remember bad.

If Possible I would try a clean install(just windows, drivers and a game to test) to rule out a software issue, so we know if we are dealing with a hardware or software problem.

Right now is hard for me to do it but I will try it...

Seems like the CPU is going well and works fine, just the BIOS showing bad information._

The Graphic Card is working, right? Maybe I will try now to do a Benchmark

 

[Eatr61]

Well, the real problem and issue persist, the frame rate is low or inexistent in most of games and situations.

I was going over the videos and pics you posted to see if I missed anything obvious...

But then it hit me after watching one of your videos:

What is the make and model of your power supply?

First of all, sorry for the delay in the answer, I was busy this two days...

The Power Supply is an "Cooler Master GX-Lite 700W"

And in this days, the problem still alive and without any kind of change.

 

[Eatr61]

Okey, recently news... I upgrade my BIOS to the last versions and apparently, now the BIOS show me the real temperature and heat...

Some picture here: https://cloudup.com/cAu9XbrBNSB

Anyways, with this move, Windows detect my OS like a false and illegal product, and the real problem about the FPS still there.

 

[RobCrezz]

Just get MS to recactivate windows, can happen sometimes with motherboard changes (bios update), its rare but can happen.

As I said, try a clean install, otherwise you dont know if you are dealing with software or hardware problem.

Today I was ready to format my computer...

And even doing it, the problem is the same and persist, I don't have any idea of what can even happens...

 

[Eatr61]

With the Windows 7 reinstalled and the HDD formatted, this is the actual state of the situation with the current hardware and nothing more:

It could just be that your graphics card is faulty then? Can you try returning it for another one?

Right now I don't have another Graphic Card and another computer case...

The only thing or GPU I have is the Motherboard Integrated Graphic....

I was thinking in change my HDMI but I doubt that will work and show us something new about the issue.

PD: And touching and trying this with the BIOS results in give me a 92.0º C when I was all this time at 53º C CPU.

 

[Eatr61]

The Graphic Card was broken from the start, was a manufacturing defect and thats all... I send it to guarantee and they will send me another GPU with the same value so I have doubts now...

What GPU do you recommend? I doubt about this...
