I had a not so good laptop and i wanted something fairly cheap and good for gaming so I recently just bought a new PC for me to game on. (Specs here: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/acer-acer-aspire-atc-105-eb11-desktop-pc-amd-a10-6700-1tb-hdd-8gb-ram-windows-8-1-atc-105-eb11/10283993.aspx?path=54c9f4ceacd8c6fe6d078f70aa186de0en02 )
I then realized that the graphics card wasn't very good so i went out and got a Zotac Geforce synergy edition GT610 2GB DDR3 graphics card. (Specs here: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/zotac-zotac-geforce-gt-610-2gb-ddr3-pci-e-video-card-zt-60601-10h/10217713.aspx?path=6a5ff6f40d2cd41af0eec78e14b85ae8en02&SearchPageIndex=1 ). Not sure if this helps but my old card was an amd radeon hd8670d.
I completely uninstalled the old graphics driver but i couldn't get the old card out because it is screwed in very oddly so i just unpluged the wires leading to it and installed the new graphics card into the pci-e slot and got it working. I then went on and installed the latest drivers for the new graphics card, then i tried some of my games and they ran horribly. (Games I tried: Next car game, Train sim 2014, Beamng drive,Car mechanic sim 2014, etc...)
They ran no better than on my laptop which is much worse than my new pc (car mechanic actually lagged on the menu) and i went on System requirements lab to test my computer and the graphics card would fail the recommended on most games. I went on Youtube and watched some reviews on the card saying that i was great and they showed game play with it at like 60fps with a computer no better than mine so I'm wondering if i did something wrong or if its broken or just a crappy card. If you suggest a replacement I only have like $100 left because of my PC. Please help!!! And thank you for actually reading the whole thing (sorry that its so long).
