OK so I just installed a Asus GTX 750Ti OC and now my pc seems to be running worst than it did before...
Old specs:
2008 HP Pavilion Elite (m9180f)
Core 2 Quad 2.66ghz (Q6700)
4Gb DDR2 RAM 667mhz
GeForce 8800 GT 512mb
Benicia mobo
460watt 12V/16A Delta PSU
Heres how the 750Ti installation is affecting me:
- Webpage images taking longer to load
- Gif's are taking A LONG time to load...feels like my pc 10 years ago.
- Google Maps is TERRIBLE. Definitely alot worst than my previous card which did pretty well.
When im finished re-downloading Starcraft 2...ill be able to see how it performs compared to my old card. I havent done any game testing yet, though I did a performance benchmark test with my 750Ti installed and the 3d scores seemed to be what they should be, while the 2D score was even lower than my previous card! Why is this?
OK heres where I get castrated.. The PSU im using meets the requirement of 400watts (300 on some other 750Ti's).. but it also wants 12Volts with 20A My PSU is 12Volts with 16A.... I knew of this prior to buying the card but Ive read that it should be OK in alot of cases...so I took my chances. My question is: How does having improper power affect my PC performance? Is this whats causing the crappy 2D performance? The GTX 750Ti only uses 60 watts.....
Also, another thing I should add is that, when I first installed 750ti and all the drivers, my PC was SUPER SUPER slow, even Quake Live was low on fps and that game is ancient....but everything sped up to where Im at now...crappy webpage loading and google maps is awful.. I have more testing/comparisons to do but can anyone off the bat tell me whats wrong here?
Keep in mind that the 750Ti only uses 60watts.... about half of what my old card used...I should also throw in there that this version of the 750Ti uses the 6-pin power connector unlike the rest of the 750's that have no power connector...
