Hello Everyone,
I am having some rather bizarre performance out of my GTX 780. I just got the card used in a deal. It replaced my AMD Radeon 7850. Let me start by saying I don't think there is an issue with the physical hardware of the card, I think the issues are more software based.
I probably need to re-install Windows, as I currently have difficulties installing some programs, but I am trying to hold off until Windows 10 is released. I'm in the Windows Insider program, so I should get a copy on the 29th, so only about 2 weeks to go. I'm trying to make the system run smoother till then.
On the old card, I could run any game fine without issue. This new card, on Bioshock Infinite, the game will start, and run for a few minutes, then crash. Certain events cause it to crash too, like going to options, then trying to return to the main menu.
Shogun II: Total War sporadically crashes. Some times it won't for an hour or so, other times it does within minutes. Also, despite using a single 1080p display, I barely get 60FPS with Ultra settings and 4x MSAA. If I set MSAA at max, then I struggle to get 30FPS with V-Sync off. Every review I have seen of this card has shown this card able to run at 2560x1440p with ultra settings.
Lastly, for some reason even just playing videos runs the card at 12% usage. It just seems to be underperforming across the board, and unstable.
Any ideas how to fix it?
