So my current computer is

Intel core i5 660 3.33GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 760
8 GB DDR3
Intel DH55HC Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s hard drive

I just recently went from a GTX 260 - 760. I haven't noticed much of a difference at all. Any game I play has a lower fps than what I feel like I should be getting, and even though it's above 30fps, it is still choppy. The game seems choppy no matter what. If I play Minecraft, I get around 50-70fps with the lowest settings possible, and with a game called Smite at max settings I get right around 50-60fps, and dips down to 20-30 in team fights.

I've tried everything to get rid of this lower fps and choppiness, but I can't seem to find a fix.

I've cleaned up my hard drive.
Virus scan.
Turned Vsync on/off.
Cpu/Gpu are not over heating at all.
I've set priority of the games to "High" in the task manager.
Closed all background programs.

I feel like I've done more, but that was mainly for minecraft (optifine, etc...)

So I'm just kind of confused on why games are running slower, and getting this choppiness. Could it be a bad motherboard, bad ram, I don't know? 🙁

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope you guy's have a good rest of the day, thanks! 😀




 
Solution
Okay what i suggest you do is, get a better PSU ASAP before any other components mess up. This happen to my little brother and he took so long to buy his PSU and he lost his ssd due to this.
