GTX 760 probz

whiskeyman · Sep 3, 2013

just got a GTX 760 gaming edition but i feel it isn't performing as well as it should. im running it with a AMD FX 8120 8-core, 500 W psu Asrock 990fx mobo and 8gb ram. HELP ME PLEASE.
i have seen plenty of videos displaying the power of this card but when comparing it to my old sapphire radeon hd 7770 i don;t see much of a difference.

Well.
We are not getting told the EXACT problem here.
Whats your FPS?
Also don't look at YouTube videos, they are unreliable.
What are the cards temps
What games are you playing, In what res and settings

whiskeyman · Sep 3, 2013

well i just went through a few minutes on planetside 2. resolution being 1680x1050 on high settings i would hover around 25 fps. not in combat and standing still 60. when im looking around and walking 50-60. ill check my temps right now.

whiskeyman · Sep 3, 2013

how would i go about checking my temps anyways? i tried using the utilities that came with my mobo but it only tells me my cpu and mobo temps. fan speeds and voltages

Download hardware monitor (freebie). Run it in the background in log mode when you run a game.

i just used afterburner and ran a stress test. at 90%load it hung at 65C

whiskeyman · Sep 3, 2013

oh and idle its at 30-33C

markwp · Sep 3, 2013

Those temps are fine. What card did you have prior to the 760?

whiskeyman · Sep 3, 2013

i had a radeon hd 7770. no overclocking or anything. just plugged it in and played.

You definitely have some sort of performance issues. I get over 60 FPS on Battlefield 3 Ultra, using that graphics card and an i5 (3rd Gen) at stock, and AFAIK PlanetSide 2 isn't as intensive as Battlefield.

whiskeyman · Sep 3, 2013

exactly my point. The only thing is that when i run battlefield on ultra it does just fine, 60+ fps . the when i run games like planetside 2 or mmorpgs like tera or vindictus i have frame rate issues. even when there aren't alot of players around me.

I'm guessing driver hangover. You need to do a COMPLETE uninstall (instructions HERE). Also, uninstall your nvidia drivers.

Once you get rid of the radeon drivers, reinstall the nvidia and see if that helps.

i was wondering that as well. conflicting drivers/software. All of my radeon drivers are still there. ill try that.

whiskeyman · Sep 3, 2013

actually i cant follow that...it says not to use it if i have an AMD cpu which i do.

whiskeyman · Sep 3, 2013

unless you think i should be okay....i dont really wanna chance it

In that case, uninstall from control panel and then run ccleaner (freebie download) in the registry mode to clean up loose ends. Be sure to back up the registry when prompted just in case (I've never needed to restore, but better safe than sorry).

Edit: make sure you uninstall drivers AND CCC software.

how would i know if the drivers have been removed successfully? i went through the wizard to remove the ccc software and it prompted that the uninstall MAY remove the drivers as well. I'm pretty sure it did but i just want to know for sure.

markwp · Sep 3, 2013

Just go through the amd uninstall proceedure and then run ccleaner. Ccleaner will remove unneeded registry cruft that can cause problems with nvidia.

whiskeyman · Sep 3, 2013

nevermind i should be fine. However i was wondering if i should restart? it never prompted me to do so but should i?

markwp · Sep 3, 2013

Yep. The best way is to unistall amd and nvidia, restart to onboard, install nvidia, reboot to gpu.

Mark

whiskeyman · Sep 3, 2013

ah...then i'm half way there!
is there a way to boot to onboard without taking the card out?

markwp · Sep 3, 2013

Boot to bios, change graphics to "onboard" or similar, save and exit.
