I switched from an Nvidia 9800GT to a Radeon R9 27x, for performance gains and to be able to stream better.
However, as soon as I tried playing Ultra Street Fighter 4, I noticed the frames were being dropped not only in online games, but in menu animations. In essence, there was no transition from one frame to another/everything was choppy.
I reinstalled the Radeon drivers, and then switched the power cables from my psu to it but it made no difference. I tweaked every setting i could see ingame/inATI catalyst, overlocked cpu, then back to stock.Nothing made a difference.
So I chalked it off to a defective graphics card and sent it back. I'm back on my Nvidia 9800GT while I wait for my GTX760... but low and behold, the problem is still there! I reinstalled the game and the drivers, no effect
When switching between graphics card, I used the display driver sweeper tool so I'm fairly confident there is no conflict. Windows Event Viewer doesn't report anything.
According to Speccy, all my voltages are correct. I should point out that I don't have a problem when I play, for example, world of warcraft.
I WILL say that when I benchmarked with furmark, the score I got was half of what someone else got using the same, stock card.
I don't know where to go from here...
I just got a notification that the Nvidia driver just crashed "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.". I remember AMD card also had the same issue. Is this a clue?
