A friend of mine recently built his own computer and has been having issues with his graphics card performing poorly.
He has a Gigabyte GTX 760 with 2GB DDR5 along with other new components. However, he has been unable to run his games at any setting higher than low and even then its a bit shaky.
On the other hand, I have a mid-end computer I built 2 and a half years ago with a EVGA GTX 560TI and most of my games run fine on mid-high settings.
We tried testing his card on Hitman Absolution's benchmark test (because that is what we had on hand) and got about 10-25 FPS on mid graphics settings. We then tried installing my graphics card in his machine and it jumped to 50-60 FPS.
At this point we assumed that the card was bad and he sent it back to get repaired. His new card has been behaving just as poorly. He tried installing another friend's EVGA GTX 760 SC and it functioned just as poorly as his own.
Has anyone had a similar problem and if so, what do you think its from? He is using a CORSAIR HX series HX650 650W ATX12V v2.2 PSU, which I thought would be enough for whatever he needed to run. The rest of the PC is just 2x4 GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Intel i7 Haswell, and an ASUS Z87-PRO motherboard.
