Hi all.

I've recently upgraded my ram and GPU due to some unexpected cash income.

My specs were, windows 7 64 bit, P87Z6 - V Gen 3 Motherboard, I5 2500K CPU, 8GB 1600 ram, 570 GTX.

I've upgraded to 16GB ram and a 780 GTX.

Problem is its not made much of a differance in a visual or speed perspective.

Do I have a bottle neck or am I just expecting to see too much of a jump ?

Cheers for reading / helping.

An i5 2500k is perfectly able to handle those specs. There shouldn't be any bottleneck.

you should be able to have a higher fps at the same setting with the gtx 570 (+10++ fps in each game) and also a much smoother fps. so try check your gpu usage (%) and cpu usage (%) if there is no improvement at all

Thanks for coming back to me, does the fact that my current board is only PCI e 2.0 but the card is 3.0 ? Is that fact limiting the cards performance ?

no that wont be a problem. that only benefit when you have two or more cards. try looking at their usage like i posted ealier. that might show if anything is wrong. just run any game and use the same setting as with the gtx 570

It sounds to me like you do not have properly updated drivers. Even with the installation of a new Video Card and the accompanying software bundle, you need to download and install updated drivers. This can make all the difference. When you install the "latest" hardware and don't see the expected performance and quality you researched, it's either a bad component, bad installation, outdated drivers.
The most current drivers for your Video Card can be found at the NVidia website. Yu might also make sure that you installed all of the Performance Software on the Video Card installation disc.
