Hi!
A couple of weeks ago my old motherboard died (it had an Athlon 64 x2 and an nVidia 520), so I decided to spend some money and upgrade it with something up-to-date to be able to play current games without any kind of problem. I bought an ATI 6950 graphic card, an Intel Core i5-3470 processor, a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H motherboard and a couple of Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 1600 (8GB in total).
I had some problems at first (Windows didn't detect the ethernet connection from the motherboard, which is weird because Linux did) that I solved installing some drivers.
Everything seemed to work, so it was time to see the real performance and I run Sleeping Dogs (it has a benchmark in it). With my old configuration I was able to play it on a "medium" graphic setting, so I tested the new one with "high" graphics settings. The results were awful: http://imgur.com/rXUsC1o (average fps 12 and it even reached 5 as the lowest one!). With the medium settings I couldn't play either.
Maybe it was a problem from the game, so I installed League of Legends and the FPS were also bad. It vary a lot (from 5 to 65) and when lots of characters were in the screen it was pretty bad (again, with my older computer that never happened).
I think that every driver I need is installed: http://imgur.com/Fg3Exdb
I've googled it and I changed some settings from the BIOS, tried to see the Windows power management configuration and nothing worked.
My first thought is that I'm not using the ATI graphic card and that I'm using the integrated one (the processor has a shitty one), but the system "realises" that the ATI is installed and it should use it whenever it needs, right?
How can I solve this?
Thank you!
