Hey everyone.
I started building a desktop last year and finally got the final piece which was the GPU. The original plan was to get a 760, but when I looked recently after getting the money for it the 770 looked more appealing and I could afford it so I went for it.
So my current specs are:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77X-D3H
CPU: i5-3570K
GPU: ASUS GTX 770 (the factory OC'ed one) 2GB
RAM: Vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz
SSD: OCZ Vertez 3 120GB
HDD: 500GB 5400rpm from Samsung. It was my old laptop's HDD that I put on a 3.5" adapter and connected to the desktop.
PSU: CoolerMaster 550W 80+ Bronze
Monitor: 1920x1080
So, other than this I have a Razer Naga Hex and a cheapo 10$ keyboard from microsoft connected. I also have a webcam and ocasionally a PS3 controller.
Ever since I installed I got the GTX 770 the startup has been much slower which I found very weird. What happens is that it gets stuck on the motherboard splashscreen for over a minute before continuing normally and booting. Windows recognizes the graphics card just fine and the games are running from it and much faster than from the HD 3000 on the CPU. However they are still not running as fast as they should. If I max out skyrim, according to Tom's hardware tests I should be at the very least 60FPS at all times, however it seems to cap at 60FPS and it actually goes down to 40FPS on a 1920x1080 monitor. Borderlands 2 while not being the best game to test a GPU has times where it dips under 30FPS. I run Nvidia's Geforce Experience thing to get my settings for the games and I notice that on every single game, following those settings gets me frame drops under 30FPS in some cases. Battlefield 3 and Black Ops 2 for example drop FPS as well.
This along with the motherboard splashscreen bug I mentioned before makes me thing that there's something wrong somewhere with my computer. I was guessing that it could be the PSU being too weak for this setup in the middle of a gaming session, but why would that mess with the boot on the motherboard? Can it be two seperate issues?
I'd appreciate any help to troubleshoot this
. Thanks!
