foxssj2 · Apr 15, 2013

After updating drivers to 314.22 all my games are running at around 15-20 fps roll back didn't help , if i install drivers again every game runs perfect but when i reboot all games run again at 15-20 fps and then i install drivers again and all runs great!
So .... yeah..... HELP!!!!!

Did you try to Remove the old drivers first?

foxssj2 · Apr 15, 2013

yep i did all that and still nothing changed,getting no error message, drivers are still installed, I've been trying to sort it out for a week now ...

did you use driver sweeper? boot in safe mode to remove all drivers?

foxssj2 · Apr 16, 2013

Driver sweeper didn't help still the same 15-20 when i look at the sky it jumps to 25 fps and nothing more

Any other ideas?

roll back to old drivers then. SOmething else to try is get msi afterburner and monitor your gpu mhz, i suspect its not coming out of power save mode and the clock speed is not increasing to its full speed. probably a driver clash with whatever card/bios you have. just roll back to old drivers. also check your gpu manufacturers website for a bios update to see if there are any bug fixes available. Also if your running any Lucid Virtu software, remove it, it often causes fps problems.

rolling back doesn't help i'm trying the bios update
I will let you know what is happening

You could try turning off 2d mode. Sometimes games do not get properly recognized by the video card and therefore it keeps your card running at the standard 2d mode. I have seen this multiple times. Sometimes my card does this when I run tf2 just because it does not need nearly the amount of power that it has. The other end is that the card could possibly be bad. Try running msi afterburner and seeing if it is properly scaling you gpu core speed as that may be the easiest issue to resolve.

foxssj2 · Apr 16, 2013

No it didn't work still the same

tomorrow I am going to my m8 to plug my card in his pc and we will see if it does the same i let you guys know

japps2 · Apr 16, 2013

I would start to suspect the 680 might be bad then.

Fishwithadeagle · Apr 16, 2013

just make sure the card is in 3d mode.

could you list your psu mate

foxssj2 · Apr 18, 2013

this is my psu

wow i din't know it was that cheap....
The gpu usage is 50-55% but if I install graphic drivers it will be all 99%

foxssj2 · Apr 18, 2013

Just noticed that my gpu o idle is 64C!!!its an gigabyte x3 it never was that hot while idle, usually it was 25-35 C on load it never went over 70 C!!!!
Tomorrow i'll plug it in to my friends pc and i'll let you guys know...damn it....

Would you put 87 octane in your Ferrari?
Ripple and spikes on your rails will degrade your components downstream. Cheap supplies often skimp out on filtering, over-current/over-voltage protections.
BigMack70 went bold on you but, you should thank him for the lesson, especially if you can still salvage your video card. If not, welcome to learning the hard way and I say that as a member =)

foxssj2 · Apr 19, 2013

Ok so this is the situation, at my friends house we plug it in and works like a charm,
i got a new power suply http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCZ-OCZ-ZS750W-UK-Series-Bronze-single/dp/B005DJJPV8/ref=cm_rdp_product
and a new case http://www.corsair.com/en/pc-cases/graphite-series-pc-case/graphite-series-600t.html
an nothing changed so I'm re installing windows just to be sure if that doesn't help its the motherboard

smeezekitty · Apr 19, 2013

foxssj2 :

What about load temps? Sounds like thermal throttling.

trolling troll · Apr 19, 2013

well, first before doing all that, I would compare and contrast what your pc and your friend's pc have in common, and then I would look at how they are differant, and then try to base a conclusion off of that based on how your gpu acts on his and yours

foxssj2 · Apr 20, 2013

Windows re install helped everything is back to normal all games are running great again

Thank You guys for all your support and ideas you were really helpful
Cheers!!
