Hi all,
Today I bought a brand new gigabyte G1 GTX970. (upgraded from my AMD Radeon HD 7950). Before installation I followed the usual steps and UN-installed my AMD drivers and restarted my pc with the new card in it. After downloading the Nvidia drivers, the gigabyte Bios and OC platform i noticed that the card hits maximum over clock instantly. (mind you I'm only playing CS:GO).
The card hits high clock speed and nearly maximum memory clock even when I'm on the lowest settings. ( hits around 150-240 fps and moves Alot) <-- much less than what i was getting with my old card with the exact same settings.
There is also an issue with the image, it seem somewhat blurred on words and isn't displaying crystal clear picture in game. the colouring seems off and also it feels like the game play is slowed down as if the enemy is .5 ms ahead of me. My CPU usage seems to be sitting around 25 percent and i even removed a stick of ram to allocate more CPU to the game.
I can feel something's not right, the card isn't operational like it should be. Is anyone out there able to shed some light on this matter? I would greatly appreciate your help. ( I'm so excited to use the new card properly!) Here are some pictures of my pc specs and some examples of what the card is doing. The in game photo doesn't do justice in my opinion.
