Installed new graphics card, getting lag

[zeta1991]

Hello everyone, I recently upgraded my RAM and graphics card and now I am getting lag in every game that I play that I never had before even on low settings. I don't think it is my internet connection because speedtest shows me having 7 ping. I removed the Invidia drivers I had before on my machine before installing the new card. Would going back to my old GTX 760 actually improve my performance?

Mobo- ASROCK Z77 Pro4
CPU- Intel i7 3770k
GPU- AMD RX560
Ram- 16gb Ballistix DDR3 running at 1600mhz (They are 1866 sticks but my mobo will only let me go up to 1600)
PSU- Thermaltake 650W
OS- Windows 10 64 bit
No SSD, WD Caviar Black 1tb

PSU is brand new as well, have not updated BIOS.

Thanks!

Yeah, the rx 560 is a worse gpu than the gtx 760, it wasnt an upgrade...

 

[zeta1991]

Even though the RX560 is 4gb memory and the GTX 760 is 2gb memory?

 

[RobCrezz]

Correct. VRAM is only one spec when choosing a graphics card.

Although the 560 has more vram, it has a less powerful GPU.

Its like comparing an i3 with 16gb of ram vs a i5 with 8gb of ram. The i5 would still perform better.

So going back to my old card I should get superior performance? What would you recommend as an upgrade to the 760 that would work for my current set up?

Is my CPU and overall set up going to hold me back drastically?

I'm assuming you went from 8 to 16GB to be honest upgrading your memory probably won't have much of any performance unless you were running into memory issues. If anything you should save up and try to get GTX 1060/RX 580.

 

[zeta1991]

I was having some memory problems, would a gtx 1060 be a huge upgrade on my machine?

What about a 4gb 1050 ti?

Also, should swapping back to my 760 be a performance upgrade?

 

[ikaz]

swaping back will improve your performance over the 560 yes, and not really best to just save up for 1060 hopefully there maybe some announcement of volta series or if those ASCII machines actually work and don't get screwed by the "fork in the code" the minner will move away from using gpu's

 

[zeta1991]

So would it be a big upgrade to get a 4gb 1050 ti? They can be had for around $270.

 

[ikaz]

No it is not worth it just save up for the 1060.

 

[zeta1991]

OK, 1060 would work on my machine, would the 3gb single fan 1060 be a good choice? Is my CPU a big bottle neck?

1050ti is good but the 1060 6gb is better and not much more expensive. If you have the money get a 1060 6gb, otherwise do a 1050ti

Most games these days use 4gb+. I recommend the 6gb.

 

[zeta1991]

Ok planning on returning the 560 and picking up a 1060. Thanks!!!

 

[RobCrezz]

Yeah your CPU is still good.

1060 6gb would be a great upgrade.
