Feels like my GPU was actually a downgrade?

I use to have a Intel HD 4000 integrated GPU.

updated it to a GTX 750 Ti

Problem is, that before with the old/bad/integrated gpu, i could of easily watch twitch.tv/streamer
and play league of legends on borderless mode at 720p. without lagging/fps drop.

However with this new GPU, i can't, i can't even watch some youtube videos on 1080p, smoothly.

Does anyone know a solution?

I will admit that i can play some games i could't play before, and better quality on my main games

EDIT: Sorry if wrong section.

To my knowledge a few things could be the culprit here. The most likely culprit, considering you used to use integrated graphics, is that your CPU isn't as "powerful" as your new GPU. Causing the GPU to be bottlenecked - and not able to perform as well as it could.

Your integrated, and CPU, work better in conjunction than your new GPU because there's very little difference in their performance. Your CPU has an easier time keeping up with the integrated graphics.

If that is not the problem, and you have a decent CPU, the problem could be your PSU isn't cutting it.

Listing your specs could give me, and people more qualified than myself, to better assess your problem.

Forgot about posting specs, but i think my CPU can handle it, don't know aobut my PSU tough.

EDIT: This is my PSU

PSU is fine. can you tell us the CPU please?

Another thing, heat could be an issue. Check temps.

Well, your CPU definitely isn't the problem.

All I can think of now is the PSU not cutting it. Turn your computer off, take a peek at your PSU, and see if you can spot the wattage. I'm not the best at determining how much juice you would need, but I can always do my best, and as I said, people more qualified than me could definitely use the information.

If it isn't the PSU either. Then I'd suggest monitoring your temperatures, and see if the card is overheating. If everything seems to be fine, maybe you could send it in to get it checked?

EDIT: See you posted the PSU while I was typing my far too lengthy reply! That checks out fine as well. If the temperatures all seem fine then I have no idea.

Question, how do i monitor my GPU temperature, and the PSU aswell?
do you have any links?

I think i have the latest since i download Geforce Experience and it automatically updates to the latest drivers available?

Edit: Check GeForce Experience, says i am on the latest driver avaible.

Yeah, i am connecting it with a DVI cable.

also was wondering, what was better HDMI or DVI, honestly it feels like HDMI its more opaque and DVi brings more contrast on my screen.

I did this, even made a thread on there forum they never responded me back :/
 
Where did evga crop up in between?
It really doesn't make any sense.
I personally use a CX430, and it's enough for a 750Ti and a 3570k.
Also, why did you post it in a spoiler? No need to have done that.
You could use programs such as RealTemp, HWMonitor or HWInfo to check your usage.
Also, are you getting stuttering? That means you have too little RAM or Video RAM.
First thing to do is disabling your integrated graphics.
The co-exist thing is BS, and will only hurt performance. Go in the bios and switch Integrated Graphics to PCI-Express card.
And ALWAYS connect to the card, and not the motherboard port.
 
After doing some digging in some of your other threads I found this out.
You had an old GTX 750 before this one that had this same problem.
You hadn't seated the 750 properly; and so it wasn't being detected.
When the GPU was seated, the integrated graphics was still working, which it shouldn't.
NVIDIA weren't detecting your graphics card.

Solutions:
Don't be a "little bitch" like you were previously and seat the graphics card again.
Go in the BIOS and change the preference "Integrated Graphics" to "PCI-Express Card"
Double check that the integrated graphics is NOT working.
Uninstall all old graphics card drivers(yes, even if they're NVIDIA and they're latest) and shutdown the computer.
Insert the card with the PC powered down. Now it should boot up with messed up colours.
Now install the drivers, and restart.

I use RealTemp for temperatures, but only for CPU.
I have 8GB of RAM

"You had an old GTX 750 before this one that had this same problem.", i don't remember having another one, i did bought another GPU, but refunded it due too, just not performing well at all.. (or something like that i can't remember), as far as having the same problem i can't remember at all, but i don't think so.

Also, i was thinking it's my Power Supply that it's only 430 WATTS.

How do i change the integrated graphics on the bios? i can't seem to find it. Pressing F12-F2 right?

I have re-seated my GPU yesterday, pretty sure it's perfectly fit, now.
