Good question from usbgtx550.

I think you might find that your 500W PSU is the problem. I dont think you have enough power. Could you check the power usage from your card at some point? If it is only using a low percentage of its total power capacity, then it probably isnt being supplied enough power.

Hi there!

How hot is your GPU getting? If it is getting too hot then it's usage wont be maxing out in order to keep temps down.

Is your GPU OC'd?

Is your CPU OC'd?

You could tru installing the previous driver and see of that makes a difference, it could just be that the latest drivers are a little buggy.

I think you'll find his system will use a little more than 340W. the FX-6300 alone uses 160W under full load:

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/fx-8350-8320-6300-4300_8.html

And the 760 can use 160W also:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-760-review-gk104,3542-22.html

So thats 320W just for the CPU and GPU. Not inculding drives, mobo, fans, etc.

Have you checked both the game settings, and the nvidia control panel?

It could be your CPU holding you back to be honest, are any of the cores maxing to 100% during a game?

Apologies for the late reply! I had a gig on saturday night and have only just woken up. =P

I would still say personally that the PSU could be a contributing factor in this. Try using the following website to determine PSU usage:

http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

Your 6300 should be more than enough for handling any of todays games, especially when paired with a 760.

What is your GPU usage when playing B3? If it is high, then there is something amiss and we need to look into it further. If it is low, then maybe you are using bad drivers, OR there is a possibility you ahve a faulty card. If you do have low GPU usage, try what Raheel Hasan suggested and re-install the drivers, (Only after FULLY uninstalling all related drivers) and see if that makes a difference. If it doesnt, then maybe because the 700 series are still new Nvidia still need to fix the bugs in the drivers.
