The GV-N770WF3-4GD I purchased doesn't seem to be running properly. Games seems to stutter and have much lower frames per second than it should have. Also there was a higher amount of CPU usage than normal. I recently switched from an AMD card and I uninstalled the AMD drivers before installing the new card and drivers. I did a clean re-installation of the Nvidia drivers but that hasn't fixed the problem. I ran a benchmark on the graphics card and there were no recorded artifacts. When I put my old card back in and installed the AMD drivers the computer worked normally. I'm not sure what the problem could be and how to fix it.
My computer setup is:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 3.1GHz Quad-Core
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3 ATX LGA1155
Tower: Cooler Master Elite 430 ATX Mid Tower
Storage: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Power supply: XFX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V

My friend may let me test my GPU in his computer. I have not checked for Bios updates, I haven't updated it in the two years I've had the PC. You think updating the Bios would be a good next step?
