GTX 980 low fps

[EricVonCuddles]

Hello I just bought a PNY XLR8 GTX 980 and it has low fps in every game, previously I had an HD 7770 that ran perfectly fine BF3 in 60-65 fps in ultra, in LoL I had 230-260 fps, Minecraft I had 250-320 fps now I got 89-100 It is really pissing me off bc Im so dissapointed, sorry if my english is bad.

My CPU is a i7-2600k 3.4 Ghz
I have 16 gb RAM
and The 980 of 4gb

I updated drivers, I disabled V-sync, activated High performance in the Control Panel and Nvidia Control panel, et cetera.
I need help please!

What resolution are you playing at? Also did you completely remove the old drivers from hd7770 from your system?

Yes I did, even from regedit, also I "updated" my cpu to a 3770 3.4 ghz
Cores are unparked, I also got the new Drivers for the card and it's working same as the others, idk what to do now

I play at 1280x1024

at this resolution I am really surprised you face ANY lag/stutter/low-fps at all

I found out my problem is i had turned the switches on the mobo for overclocking safety it cut all power by half. Then switched then over it ran 100%

There you go... Your motherboard has a PCIe x16 which is Gen 2.0. While the GTX980 needs a Gen 3.0 slot. Your mobo is bottlenecking your gaming performance here.

 

[Mugglensu1984]

If you are willing to change your mobo I have some choices here which'd go well with yourt GPU:

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Asus Maximus V Formula EATX LGA1155 Motherboard

ASRock Z77 Fatal1ty Professional ATX LGA1155 Motherboard

Oh... I like the first one, but, will I have some sort of incompatibility? I have changed my Cpu to a i7-3770, a Cooler master PSU, and this is my case: http://us.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/case/gaming-case/elite-431-plus.html

I dont know if it will fit in there

 

[EricVonCuddles]

Also If Im getting a new mobo, i want it to be at least decent for gaming, Maximus V seems very good, but can you give me more options, for price-quality??

All three of the motherbopards I suggested above are good. if you cant afford the asus then look at the other two. specially the asrok.

Why dont you get thisc case? http://us.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/case/gaming-case/cm-690-ii-advanced-usb3.html its better. can support longer gpu.

 

[EricVonCuddles]

I think I will get a Maximus V, Vii or Viii and im not looking forward to change my case since its brand new the one I got

So I've been reading that PCIe 2.0 x16 slots dont bottleneck a 3.0 card, im not really sure about this, can you get any source, more information about it?
