At the time of this post I just upgraded my graphics card from a GT 610 to a Radeon R7 260x. When I started up my computer and got everything going, I noticed things were running much slower than normal. Things open slow,close slow, load slow, everything is slower. Games are better but load times are insanely slow now. Help please!

Uninstall it. Even if it's not the problem, it's now software that's just taking up space on your computer.

First: Where would I find the Nvidia GT 610 drivers? Second: What should I do if this does nothing? Could this GPU be faulty?

It says the best driver is already installed. The games are still slow yes, but everything else is slow aswell. The whole computer has just slowed down.

How big is your power supply and did you plug in the 6 pin power cable to the card as well. I believe that card requires a 500W minimum. Lack of power could be allowing you to use it, but under clocking the card.

This card is Overclocked and needs 450. I upgraded to a 650 PSU and all this has been happening since. I also just noticed that Aero Peek/Taskbar Tranparency on Windows 7 never stays, it always goes back to windows 7 basic and stays that way. And yes, I did plug in the 6 pin.
