Wife and I have exact same specs, get different FPS in games.

[d347h1nc]

Only difference between our Pc's is the motherboard. We both just got the same model of 960's and in say WoW for example running the same settings at the same resolution I get about 15-20 less FPS than she does. She also is running a second monitor and I am not, so I would think if anything it would be the other way around?

Also we are both running windows 10 64-bit.

Any idea why this might be happening?

hmm this is odd, cant really say why right off the top of my head. what fps is your wife running at?

and if shes using any kind of game booster , task manager priority or underneath cooling fans this could be why, the second monitor should not affect fps at all, if your WoW setting s are different thats probably why (assuming you already knew this) sometimes wow can be buggy on some machines, also it would help if i got your specs

We have compared our settings and they are all exactly the same in game and also in the Nvidia control panel. She is not running any of those things and we both have the same Antec case and fan configuration. The only thing I can think of is an Os or driver thing.

We both have i7 4770k's stock, 16 gigs of the same ram, the same HDD's, psu's, Same gigabyte GTX 960's, only difference is she has an Asrock mobo and I have an MSI one but I don't think that would make any difference.

I've checked the temps of my systems cpu and videocard, both are fine and not throttling or anything. It just makes no sense lol.

If you open up task manager, then go to start up tab, disable everything in there, reboot. Run nothing but WoW, your results should be identical if you're running the same hardware, even if the motherboard is different. Other than that, make sure you're running the same graphics driver version, an older driver could perform worse than a newer driver, or the other way around.

Okay I did that and checked the driver verson, we both are on 364.72. I even went ahead and reinstalled windows 10 and I'm still getting less FPS with the same settings. I reinstalled wow as well.

I guess at this point I should just put her card in my system and see if It still is under performing? If so it is still under warranty and I can return it to newegg. If it is still having FPS problems then I guess it is some other mystery cause...

different monitor resolutions?

Yours is full of virus's from going to unsavory websites, while her's is not??

On your machine roll back the driver from the .72 to the previous version. There is many issues with this driver for some and I know it shows stupid but it's worth a try. Also if you and your wife run the game under same settings have you checked with afterburner to see if the loads, vram usage and clocks are the same?

I will take a look at that as well and report back, thanks for the suggestion.

I would do a fresh install of windows on BOTH computers OR at the minimum Run DDU if you just upgraded from another video card. Could be a driver issue.

 

[hiyabusared]

Also swap the cards from each machine. Make sure the card is the culprit

I know the .72 drivers have been hell for people. On my 980 ti it cause Windows to stop responding when opening N.experience
