OK so here's the issue. I recently got given the parts from my friend's old gaming rig and have built it with a clean install of windows 7 pro 64 bit (even wiped the HDD and all that jazz).
So far everything seems to be working fine, but when gaming i get terrible performance (no matter what the settings), with like an almost ghosting / lag style effect, even though i get great fps on most games. This is what i've checked so far and there's no problem: -
- made sure the GPU is plugged in properly (right connectors etc.)
- overheating on the CPU and GPU
- different monitors
- correct driver installation (with driver sweeper too)
- ram values are set correctly
- anything Direct X related.
- motherboard drivers
I'm starting to think it could be the PSU, but from what i can see the power output and values are alright.
This system was working perfectly when I tired it at my friend's house so i am completely stumped. All I had to do was dust it off a bit with some compressed air and assemble it into my case (don't worry i was earthed!). I've tried many source games and games such as Warframe, BF3, Loadout Chivalry MEW and so on... still runs badly so it's not the games.
Finally here are the Specs:
AMD FX 6100 - stock clocks (silverstone Argon AR02 cpu cooler)
Sapphire HD 5770 - no OC
8GB Crucial 1333mhz ram
m5a78l-m/usb3
corsair CX430 (not sure which version... maybe V2 modular)
1 in and 1 out fan in an old matrix mesh fireblade case (fits rather well i say)
Any insight would be great thanks and i can provide images if need be (i think...)
Thanks again,
Mike
