my asus strix gtx 960 is lagging very badly in all games.

[mimorex]

i bought a gtx 960 yesterday to upgrade my gpu from gtx 550 ti but there is no performance improvements instead its lagging more than before.what maybe the problem.help me.thanks in advance

Download msi afterburner and see the gpu load while gamign.If the gpu load falls ex from 80% to 0% or 10% while gaming than the psu is causing this.I had the same problem and changed my psu.

Post your full system specs, done all the drivers?

 

[mimorex]

my specs
cpu:core 2 duo e7500
ram:6gb
psu:corsair cx600
gpu:gtx 960
mobo:asus p5p43td

colopix my psu is new only 4 months passed

nvidia latest driver 355.82 and done clean installation of drivers for new card also and my os is window 7 sp1 64 bit

Your processor is 6 years old, you've got a tier 4 PSU, if it is an old one probably degraded and probably not performing well enough and causing you issues.
Seems weird though, as the gtx 550ti specs for power are:
Maximum Graphics Card Power (W): 116 W
Minimum System Power Requirement (W): 400W

and the gtx 960 is:
120 Graphics Card Power (W) 120 W
Minimum Recommended Power (W) 400W

So it isn't breking the bank, but regardless you wasn't going to get much performance gain as i presume your CPU is probably bottlenecking your performance

Check if your gpu load drops whole time than the psu,drivers or something else can be rpoblem.I played Batman AK and i had lag as hell i mean from 60 to 5FPS and than i sow the gpu load from 99% drops to 5%...Some electrolyte was leaking from the psu.

so will upgrading my cpu and motherboard fix this problem?and you sure the main culprit is the cpu bottlenecking the gpu?

i checked just now nothing is leaking from my psu and yes the performance in witcher 3 is dropping from 30 fps to 10 fps after some moment.

not 100% sure but it happens to alot of gamers, download MSI afterburner and check how much of the GPU is being utilised while in game you can go on the ettings and click on 'OSD' which is on screen display, and you can show many things, while in game, frame rate, temp of cpu, temp of gpu, % of cpu cores being used and gpu etc and tell us what the % gpu is being used while in game, before upgrading

ok wont the asus gpu tweak show this things?and will update after i check

i never used theirs, MSI afterburner best one around at the moment i personally think.

done just now max gpu% is 62 and min 30 in batman arkham knight and also min 28% and max 63% in witcher 3 with temps going high upto 92% and cpu usage min 0 and max 100%

 

[jakegroves]

your gpu is not getting fully utilised, sounds a cpu bottleneck then :/ and 92 celsius temperature?

 

[mimorex]

yes its showing in msi afterburner after closing the game not in osd

that is very high for a new card lol ? :S how is your airflow in your case?

not very good and my idle is around normal 32 so maybe its a mis calculation.
if my card is overheating shouldnt it overheat in idle also?

 

[jakegroves]

Hoping its reading it wrongn, use open hardware monitor and watch your temperature.
It's hard to pinpoint the real problem, because I would say it is the cpu slowing you down but I don't want to diagnose S that and you replace and not much performance gain. But it is my best diagnoses to be honest

What graphic settings are the witcher 3 or gta 5 or any of them on ? Want to compare performance with other setups. Also can u do the 3dmark test please? and post result http://www.3dmark.com/

You are CPU bottlenecked. Pure and simple. You need a new motherboard and a new CPU. Even a lowly AMD Athlon 860K would tremendously help performance.

Actually, an Athlon 860K is all that's needed to max out the 960 performance. Either that or buy a more expensive i3.

Whatever you do, know that your GPU is currently useless until you buy new motherboard and CPU. No way around it. Your PSU is fine, just so you know.

not for gaming system, crap capacitors

tier 4 replace asap

+1, all tom people should know that ... guess not

will change to skylake soon but what about my gpu temps in idle its normal 32 c any suggestion on that? and also on msi afterburner OSD while in game it didnot show 92 c but was around 70 while gaming but when i quit the game it showed 92 on msi afterburner app which was open on desktop..m very much confused. any help will be appreciated
