Lower pc performance after my os reinstallation

[darjan beciri]

after i reinstalled my win 8.1 pro , i installed bf4 and the game is running terribly , on the same settings as before , i get under 40 fps and edges look horrible and textures too kinda

Have you done all of the window updates? was your computer a prebuilt, so did you reinstall from the disk or for example a dell partition.
Have you got all of your drivers up to date?

 

[Jonathan Sifleet]

Make sure to install drivers

 

[darjan beciri]

well , my gpu is up to date , after few talks with the ea support dudes and when they took a look at my msi config they told mer told me it is a kernelbase.dll problem , now im really scared that my gpu is damaged 🙁

 

[Benab3]

Your graphics card probably not damaged as all you did is a clean install.
Can you post a picture of your device manager and your msconfig startup menu?

Also could you please list your specs.

 

[darjan beciri]

actually i took it to a local pc shop cuz i don't have w disk and dude there had to connect one of my hdd's buti guess the gpu isn't damaged. Here are pics you asked for : http://imgur.com/SBPBSGJ&qtvntxu

specs: R9 290 tri x oc 4g
motherboard :AsROCK Z97 ANNIVERSARY
CPU: intel core i5 4670k

 

[Benab3]

Did you install motherboard drivers from the website of the manufacturer? and is your windows fully up to date?

 

[darjan beciri]

yes windows is up to date , there are few asrock updates yes , but my pc was away for only like 1 day during the reinstall

 

[Benab3]

Try getting the newest drivers for your motherboard, and then do a reinstall of your Graphics drivers.

 

[darjan beciri]

I have reinstalled my gpu drivers already , gonna do it again , however , i ran occt for about an hour and it showed no errors

 

[Benab3]

Do the motherboard drivers before the GPU ones.

 

[darjan beciri]

yea i did thath , i noticed this was due to the fact that i maxed all out for anti aliasing , but even with that on it's highest settings , the game looks jagged and i get sharp fps drops which i wouldn't get before

 

[Benab3]

Ah, I thought I asked about anti-aliasing, Musta been another thread. I'm guessing it was MSAA or SSAA.
Does it look jagged when moving, almost like flickering, only seen when moving. As that is temporal aliasing, I'm not actually to sure what AMD has to offer for this, but Nvidia does TXAA.

For sharp Fps drops see your Cpu and Gpu usage when that happens and your temperatures for them both.

Also could you take a picture of the ingame settings on any game that is causing you issues.

 

[darjan beciri]

nah it's jagged all the time ,really bad for ultra settings and catalyst
note : i i wll upload morehttp://imgur.com/zYLHcdL

 

[Benab3]

Do you use anisotropic filtering and vsync in your game settings?

 

[darjan beciri]

yes , no vsync

 

[darjan beciri]

thank you for your time btw

 

[Benab3]

Can you post your in game settings and your graphics settings in catalyst control centre. What are your max temps and do you game in windowed, borderless or fullscreen? Try fullscreen with vsync Enabled.

Also have you overclocked at all?

 

[darjan beciri]

yes , my cpu is oc on 4ghz , meh I make sure gpu's temps are under 85 , cpu is usually under 68 c , i play on fulscreen , ultra ,with these settings it used to run awesome before my reinstall

 

[darjan beciri]

it looks like anti aliasing isn't doing it's job , even when i try to oc it in amd catalyst , there's no great improvement +i get terribly low fps

 

[darjan beciri]

this shit started happening after my os was reinstalled + the guy claims he installed windows office on my pc which he didn't and i have an important f***ing school project in 6 days ,i paid sh**load for a new fake win and now it f*** doesn't work properly , i will sh**t on him

 

[Benab3]

... ouch, if it is a fake vesrion of windows or a knock off then that may be your issue, a friend of mine had a fake lookalike windows and it didnt work very well at all. If you Pc was a prebuilt and has the code stuck on the side, or you have your windows key then you will be able to reinstall it yourself ( providing you have a disk or the files on a USB ). If it was a prebuilt then you may also be able to reinstall through your OS, but the disk is recommended.

 

[darjan beciri]

yea it could be that , fk
