Upgrade to GTX770 and lose performance

I7 3770k OC to 4.2
ASUS GTX 770 2GB
8gb Kingston X extreme 1600mhz
120gb Intel 520SSD (other Hdd but this one contains os)
Z75 PRO3
HYPER212 Evo cooler
Evga 600b psu


recently my GPU died so I purchased the EVGA GTX 760 FTW 4gb card and installed it. Generally I play arma (I know) on my units server. Loaded it up and was getting a solid 45-50+ FPS with nothing going on in the map at that time. The next day I realize I could have gotten a 770 for just about the same price so I exchanged the card for an ASUS GTX 770. When I installed it and opened up arma and proceeded to the exact server and map described above I was lucky to hit 35FPS. Same settings were used for both cards.

Why would the better card run slower than the other?

I was playing 1080p on one monitor with both of those cards if that matters.


Im about to re exchange it for the 760 unless im missing something.

Did you completely remove the previous drivers? If not, go to your device manager and uninstall all the drivers, and download and run the Display Driver Uninstaller. Then do a clean install of the 770's latest driver.

Is your 770 card also a 4gb model? A lot of those multiplayer maps can bump up against the 2gb VRAM capacity.

I haven't run a sweep of old drivers mainly cuz I didn't know how... I will do that first, secondly it's the 2gb card... Would the 760 I had be a better option with the 4gb even tho I'm only running 1080?

Here is a good Toms guide on how to remove the drivers. I would start there. The 2GB vs 4GB card shouldn't make much of a difference at 1080p, but I haven't read much on Arma performance impacts. Have you tried any other titles that you had FPS numbers from the 760? Do you have Nvidia GeForce Experience installed as well? That program can help a good amount by optimizing program settings based on your entire system.

I have it installed but haven't played with the specific game settings much since I already have things adjusted ingame but I will also try letting it optimize it for me.

I came from AMD and didn't have these options in the past lol

I'm in between the amd and nvidia camps now, split in my house by 1st floor and second floor haha, AMD has that RAPTR app which does the same thing if you ever have another AMD card.

I did the driver sweep and also reset my oc on my cpu. Things seem to be better than they started out. Now if I could only figure out how to overclock the gpu with this tweak program... :/

The Asus GPU Tweak works pretty well, but I find that the EVGA Precision X is a little more intuitive. There are several tutorials on how to use it if you google it.
