Hello everyone,
yesterday, after a hardware failure I upgraded my PC:
OCZ Tripple Channel Gold 8GB (2,2,4)
i7 2600
Gigabyte 6850HD OC 1GB
Gigabyte GA P67A UD4
120GB SANDISK SSD (IDE boot)
1TB Green Caviar HDD (files)

to:
OCZ Tripple Channel Gold 8GB (4,2,2)
EVGA 770 SC 2GB
ASROCK B75 Pro-3
120GB SANDISK SSD (AHCI boot)
1TB Green Caviar HDD (files)

And i noticed low fps on the games i tried to play:
Guild Wars 2(HDD) Ultra 60-70 fps before, Ultra 50-70 now
League of Legends Very High 100-300 fps before, Very High 55-180 fps now
Dungeon Defenders 2 MAX 40-60 before, 50-60 now
Minecraft everything on max 180 before, won't even boot now

I ran clean install to Nvidia drivers 2 times now and nothing happened....

Any clues? By the way i'm studying computer engineering so i'm not a regular newbie ^^

Please help.

install motherboard drivers? or did you install windows?
same cpu?

tsuneo6 · Jan 20, 2015

also make sure you deleted the AMD drivers. check if you haver a recent BIOS. make sure you installed all drivers.(chipset drivers etc)

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

rgd1101 :

Motherboard drivers installed from CD and i did a Clean Install for Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

tsuneo6 :

Thanks for the quick reply, i did a clean install for Windows so no drivers from AMD ^^

rgd1101 · Jan 20, 2015

check the temp on the cpu?

tsuneo6 · Jan 20, 2015

i_love_tohsaka :

check the drivers from the manufacturers website. the install disk from your motherboard is most probably outdated by a year or 2...

rockie_ · Jan 20, 2015

GTX 770 is about 3x faster than HD 6850. The GTX 770 is not working at 100% or the driver overrides some settings . Try High Performance . Might try a heavy game . Also might run some benchmarks and compare the results . Perhaps the GTX 770 is working at lower level since it thinks more is not needed for those games.

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

rockie_ :

I thought so at first, but i run both EVGA's benchmark tool and UniEngine's Valley and Heaven tools evrything on Ultra with max tesselation and i'm almost the same with 6850 T^T

@rgd1101
My temp seems fine...
CPU

GPU

rockie_ · Jan 20, 2015

GPU load = 30% as expected

tsuneo6 · Jan 20, 2015

is that GPU-z screenshot taken right after a benchmark? because the load never goes up to 100%. it's not working on its full capacity

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

tsuneo6 :

Here's a screen taken right after the benchmark that gave me 18.8 avg FPS while my 6850 gave me 25.2 avg FPS -_-
Gpu load was at 60%

rgd1101 · Jan 20, 2015

what the full spec? do you have sound card? wifi card? using the right pcie slot?

something about that motherboard. I thought B75 is for business.

tsuneo6 · Jan 20, 2015

does the card come with some special software from evga? also chec the power ooptions. make sure it's on max performance and not on balanced

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

rgd1101 :

I accidentally chose you as the best answer and don't know how to remove it -_-
I'm using the on board sound card and ethernet i'm using the right pcie slot ....

rgd1101 · Jan 20, 2015

just read the Minecraft log, should have done it sooner, it said something about the memory. It windows seeing all 8 gb?
the motherboard it dual channel, it might not like that way you config the memory slot.
4,2,2? mixing memory? have you done memory check?

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

Just tried ASROCK's drivers from their site and for my suprise, mine are newer then theirs ....

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

rgd1101 :

About that, well, i'm ashamed but, i can't figure out how to set them up because UEFI says A1B1(C1) A2B2(C2) but the manual says A1A2(C1) B1B2(C2). UEFI says that dual channel memory is installed and windows are seeing 8134MB of RAM

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

here's my gpu after playing a game of LoL for ~3 mins.
I swapped to High Performance from Power Settings and the FPS where the same .-.

rockie_ · Jan 20, 2015

Even the processor is running at lower frequency .

Is VSync On ? Try High Performance from NV Control Panel Is the PSU enough ? Make sure the slot , running at x16 , is used.

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

rockie_ :

I don't see any option on the NVCP to enable HP, yes the PSU is enough.
Also i just did a Memtest with no errors >.<

rockie_ · Jan 20, 2015

3D Settings->Adjust image settings with preview -<Use my preference emphasizng : Performance .

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

rockie_ :

Performance improved by ~15 fps on LOL my minimum fps went to 70 but still....

i_love_tohsaka · Jan 20, 2015

I went and dug through UEFI and i ended up with this

What changed is the bus interface, went from 1.1 to 2.0 but 770 and the slot are PCI 3.0

tsuneo6 · Jan 20, 2015

well it is improvement. the GPU-Z graphs look normal now.

LOW FPS after system upgrade.
