I have had loads of problems with the drivers not downloading and I finally got them my pc isn't performing right it's a 770 TF edition and it gets 10fps in skyrim no mods and and between 15-40 in crysis 2. I knom for a fact this can max out all those games any ideas everything looks normal in geforce

He's asking what CPU you have.

Do you have the monitor plugged into the graphics card?

Download GeForce Experience and use that to install the latest driver. You should be getting 60 FPS in Skyrim (VSync) with dozens of mods lol I get a constant 60 with 15 mods with my 760.

I know what I should get in games I had a gtx 760 before I upgraded to 770 and I have geforce experiance installed. I wouldnt call myself an IT expert but I know a fair bit and have done all the basics. I noticed when I tried to download 340.43 it said this update cannot continue.

Completely uninstall the driver and install the stable 337.88 driver.

Why the upgrade from a 760 to a 770? Not much of a jump lol

You don't know how many tries i've tried reinstalling and I think you miss understood I have the 337.88 driver in it and it doesn't work but I can't download the new one it just says that "installation cannot continue" no other error message just the caption.

The 770 is a decent jump and also I am sell my card to a friend who's building a new pc and the watch dogs bundle makes it pretty worth it.

Make sure your BIOS version is up to date as well: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B85M%20Pro4/?cat=Downloa...

Not just the drivers.


I downloaded the new bios for MOBO but I get the same error when geforce experiance starts up it says that there was an error (no code or other just say's there is somthing wrong and when I try to install new drivers same thing as usual happens just say's that everything failed and wasn't selected even though it was. I tried with my old 760 and no differance so I have no idea whats happening


I really have no idea with this it worked for a little while but the case had to be turned on its side (wierd?!). Then I checked geforce and the 337.88 driver worked but it wouldn't allow me to optimise my games it said the gpu wasnt compatible, but shadowplay and LED visualizer work ok. I had about half an hour of happy gaming of watch dogs before the driver crashed and I reinstalled it again(I did it through safe mode)
