Getting 10 fps on Rust When i was getting 100 fps earlier today?

[Noah Doane]

I think my graphics card might have over heated and caused internal damage and limiting is power. Or something along those line and i ran a stress test and i was getting 6 fps when i know my Geforce Gtx 970 should be doing better. Any way to Determin what is happening??

test it in another pc if u can...thats the fastest way to determine...if the issue follows the device, then u shd get the idea...

Is it possible that it could be the Nvidia Drivers?
And doesnt my Gtx 970 have to be compatible with my other motherboard but the only othero ne i have is from like 2006

 

[Hellfire13]

yes it cud be...but i thought that u already covered that before posting ...
use guru3d ddu and clean install ur drivers...

I have to pay for them to get updated I dont have the money...

u dont have to pay for anything...just go to the nvidia driver page for 970 and download it and run it...or u can do it from ur geforce experience as well...
just make sure u clean all residual drivers through display driver uninstaller from guru3d...its free too...

Ok so i did it and wiped my drivers but should i just run my driver cd i got from my graphics card box or just go from the nvidia website. sorry i dont know this stuff im just trying to learn and fix this stuff.

go to nvidia and download and install geforce experience...when u run it, it will automatically detect the latest driver for ur card and install...
u can do it manually too...
dont use the driver cd...

I'm not a expert at these problems. That being said if I run into reoccurring problems I just reinstall windows. It usually takes me longer to fix the problem then the 2 hours to reinstall windows on a SSD.

That is awful advice. Has everyone who knows nothing about computers been taught to say "update your drivers" and "reinstall windows" just to sound smart to the even more clueless people?
