GPU started smoking, got new gpu and now getting extremley low fps

Cerberus176 · Jan 24, 2016

I had a GTX 970 4gb and it randomly overheated and started smoking. So, because of this, I returned it and got the exact same one. I put it into my computer and now in games i was getting at least 60 fps in i am now getting 20-30. Anyone have any idea on why this is happening?

Note: I did not change a single thing in my computer other than the graphics card and putting it into a different slot.

Here are my specs in case anyone wonders:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
8.0 GB RAM
1tb Hard Drive
2tb Hard Drive
Windows 10 64-bit

The old slot doesnt even work anymore. So you think i should just get a new mobo then?

What power supply do you have? Might want to grab a new psu while you are at it.

and yes a new Psu wont hurt

Cerberus176 · Jan 24, 2016

any certain wattage i should consider?

ohiou_grad_2006 · Jan 24, 2016

What model and brand do you have? Wattage means almost nothing. If your power supply is an off brand 600 watt, a quality 450 watt psu might actually provide better power. Plus cheap power supplies tend to fry hardware.

600 is plenty depending if you want to add more in the futur
