My name is Aiden, I recently upgraded a majority of my computer parts. I upgraded my motherboard from one that supports 4-5th gen processors and ddr3 ram to one that supports 8th and 9th gen processors and ddr4 ram. I upgraded my CPU from an i5 3.2 4750 to an i5 3.7 9600. I upgraded my ram from ddr3 to ddr4 (both were 16gb). My current GPU is an Nvidia GTX GeForce 1060 3GB. I upgraded to a used 1070 8GB.
Now here's what happened. At the start, I felt as if my PC was under-performing immensely. I was pulling worse frames than I was with my old build. I did some research about the problem. I wen't into settings and made sure everything was in performance mode. Updated my drivers as well as installed MSI Afterburner. This did not help, I then replaced my GPU back to my 1060. It was pulling the same frame rate as the 1070. I did more research which led me to reinstall my OS. I did a clean wipe on my PC. The one thing I will say is that my games were never deleted. I made sure to select the option to wipe everything, I came back to a clean PC, but when I installed Steam and the Rock star launcher, all I had to do is click install and then all my games were there. From there I was getting okay frames on the 1070, but in doing research on how the 1070 should perform with my specs, it again was under-performing, and in all honesty it was under-performing quite majorly. Even the 1060 was having some issues with how it used to run games. Out of frustration, and a severe lack of money after the upgrades, I refunded the new 1070. I figured since it was used someone could've overclocked it too much and ruined the card, or something else to hinder its performance. As of right now, I am using my 1060 with all my new upgrades and am still under-performing compared to my old build. I have done everything that I can find to do. If anyone knows how to fix this I would love to hear from you as soon as you can as I've lost quite a bit of money.
Thanks!
