I built my first PC, with some guidance from a friend, back in Nov 2012. I could always get pretty solid FPS numbers and seemed to be in a good place. Recently my Radeon HD 7850 GPU went bad and I decided to upgrade to an nVidia GTX 980 (I also upgraded the power supply).
However, after upgrading I have noticed a decrease, not an increase in FPS in games I have played on both cards. An example being SW:tOR - I am only getting about 20fps on high right now. I am certain that the card is not overheating and that the drivers are correct and up to date. What am I missing?
Specs
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601)
CPU: i7-3770K @ 3.50GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.9GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980
Power Supply: Antec 900W
Additionally, my primary hard drive is a 128GB SSD, plus a 1TB slave drive. Whatever my primary game is at the time, I keep it on my SSD.
