Hey,

I recently replaced my 580 gtx with a 780 gtx as an upgrade, but I noticed that my 580 was doing same/better than the 780??

I got the latest drivers from nvidia and everything else is the same hardware wise.

Thanks

To stay on topic: try what i said and check if games are installed in Program Files directory as the Program Files (x86) emulated ofcourse 32 bit system which in that case will not be able to...

Precisely what he said, we need full system specs.

Do you also install games in the folder Program Files and NOT Program Files (x86)??

Installing to "program files" folder vs "programs files (x86)" is not something you can just change. "Program files" is 64-bit programs and games. "Program files (x86)" is for 32-bit programs and games. This is governed by the program and windows. You cannot change the program or game from 32-bit to 64-bit by switching the directory.

Many before you had similair problems after updating their entire PC and BIOS.
