I recently replaced my old graphics card with the GTX 970.
Using Fraps, I saw that when I play Battlefield 3 on Ultra settings I only get 40-60 fps.
I tried to play on Medium settings but I got the same results. Is that normal?
Here are my specs:
GPU: ASUS Geforce GTX 970
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 3.40GHz
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
RAM: 8GB

Any help would be appreciated!

You should update the drivers (do a clean install then reconfigure the nvidia control panel settings), check the nvidia control panel settings, the game graphics configs, then take a look at the card temperature. If none of those are wrong then we can looks for more options.

well, I did that. my GPU is up to date.
card temperature: 28 degrees (CELSIUS)
what information do you need from the settings?
nothing looks wrong i guess...
The game graphics configs are on Ultra settings. again, I need you to tell me what kind of information do you need from it. There's one thing I forgot to tell you... when I reopen the game the Video settings go back to Auto. That's weird :??:
Thanks for the help! You have no idea how much you're helping right now...

Well, I can post my nVidia control panel settings when I get home, but how about other games, same problem? And what's the card temp when running the game? By the way, your previous card was...?

When running the game it's around 40 degrees celsius. (40-42)
last card was amd radeon HD 4800 but don't worry, before installing the Nvidia driver I uninstalled the AMD one.
Can you predict a general time of when you'll get home? sorry, I just want to fix this problem before November 17th (Star Wars: Battlefront release date :bounce:)

In 2 hours I should be home, but for now I'd try to test in other games and maybe take a look at some of the settings. Also sometimes in the GeForce forums there are good tips on optimizing and troubleshooting nvidia cards. (BTW, yay for Battlefront!)

So this is it, I've been tweaking some options but you can improve yourself if you want to. It's pretty good IMO, as I can play very demanding games with great graphics quality and still very high FPS. I'll write it down as my settings are in portuguese so a print screen would be confusing.

Anti-Aliasing FXAA - OFF
Anti-Aliasing Settings - Cannot select this one
Anti-Aliasing Gamma - OFF
Anti-Aliasing Mode - Application-Controlled
Anti-Aliasing Transparency - OFF
Triple Buffering - OFF
CUDA - All
Cache Shader - On
DSR - OFF
Anisotropic Filtering - 16x
Texture Filtering - Negative LOD - Clamp
Texture Filtering - Anisotropic Sample Optimization - OFF
Texture Filtering - Quality - OFF
Texture Filtering - Trillinear optimization - High performance (this one and the above can be anything you like better, doesn't make too much difference in performance)
Power Management - Adaptative
MFAA - OFF (because it does disable DX12 for some reason in dxdiag, besides that it could be On)
Max. Pre-rendered - 1
Ambient Occlusion - OFF
Threaded optimization - Auto
Pre-rended frames VR - 1
Vertical Sync - OFF (if you want/need it, put as application-controlled and enable triple buffering, it will cap your FPS to your monitor frequency [60hz-75hz-120...])
Preferred refresh rate - application-controlled
Multi display/mixed gpu - Single display performance

It should be something like that in english. Another recommendation is to make a clean install in all drivers, including the motherboard ones, the intel ones (management interface,..)... Also, if you've updated your windows to 10 and didn't do a clean install after, I truly recommend you to format your HD, as the update made lots of PCs with such problems.
