Hi,
After recently concluding that my GigabyteB GTX 770 is (probably) faulty, due to performance issues during games and OC'ing as well as windows desktop refresh rate stutters, I handed it over to the retailer to see if they can find and isolate the problem. I received an email from them today saying the GPU performance is getting bottlenecked either due to overheating or my low-end motherboard (Asus B75M-A). As I know for sure that there's not overheating at all, the PSU too is just fine (CM Silent Pro Gold 550W, as per all the suggestions here), the CPU (i5 3570) is good, it now comes down to the mobo.
I've asked this question before here and I got positive feedback for B75M-A and GB GTX 770 combo, but I'm compelled here to verify it. My apologies for asking the same question. But the context is different this time around as you can see.
Are mATX motherboards really not good enough for GTX 770? Chipset types do not matter here alright, whether it's B75 or H77, but does the form factor of the board have anything to do with good power circulation/flow to the card and stuff?
Please I need to resolve this urgently so that I can decide to return the mobo ASAP (while it's under warranty), if that is the cause.
Thanks very much.
