First time posting, and my expertise is a good bit limited, so I apologize if I sound naive or to put it in more forward terms- an idiot.
So I bit the bullet after researching what to replace my 3 year old 570 GTX with.
The 760 GTX seemed to be the best bang for the buck and saw some pretty impressive boasting about the performance of the card.
Got it and installed it(once I found an 8-pin PCI-E long enough to properly reach the card), I updated the driver and restarted. Ready to game.
I started out by loading up World of Tanks and maxing everything out. It worked but the FPS were a lot lower than I was expecting.
So I figured I'd try Titan Fall- same thing. Skyrim- same thing.
I then thought I'd a direct comparison between the 2 by using the the bench mark test that came on the DVD EVGA had included- Benchmark Valley.
On ultra the 760 only scored 10 points higher than the 570, from a cold start. In fact on the high setting the 570 marked higher. After seeing that I feel as though there may be something wrong with the card.
My question really is- is it possible my expectation were simply to high for a mid range card, is the 760 not that much of an upgrade over the 570, does this sound like a possible bad install on my part, or am I looking at a faulty card?
I wanted to try and fix the issue before bothering Customer Service at EVGA- especially if this is just me expected to much from a $250 card.
Here are my specs in case that helps...
Ultra X3 1k Watt PSU
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO
i7-2600K Sandy Bridge
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB
Thanks for any help or advice. I appreciate it.
