So I upgraded from a Radeon HD 5830 to a GTX 660. Since then I've been getting problems.
First, it felt like the GTX 660 did not perform any better than the 5830. Then after a couple hours and couple of restarts, the GTX 660 started to perform worse than the 5830. I put the 5830 back in and the performance is still crap, worse than before I first installed the 660.(So I'm guessing another component of my PC is causing the problems)
Then my computer started having problems, including randomly shutting off and slower performance in tasks that are not related to graphic processing.
I reinstalled my computer and wiped all my hard drives just in case any virus is causing the problems, yet the problem remains. My game performance is still terrible. In Metro Last Light I'm getting like 10 fps on medium settings.
Also, sometimes when I power on the PC, it would first shut off. Then restart back up, make a longer-than-usual beep sound and slowly turns on. (Maybe a problem with my power supply)
Honestly I have no idea what's going on and can't identify which component is causing the problems. Right now the PC is working fine, but game performance is crap and it feels like the PC's general performance with other tasks is slower than when I still had the 5830.
I doubt this is a software problem because I've reformatted all of my hard drives, so this must be a hardcore problem then?
P.S. GTX 660 uses less power than the 5830.
