New Graphics card not seeing a diffrence

zoltarian · Jan 26, 2016

Hello, as the title states i am not seeing any difference in frames or quality on the screen

I upgraded an Asus radeon R9 270x with 2gb ram with a Geforce gtx 970 turbo with 4gb

according to this list it is 3 slots higher and should be an upgrade http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html?56a7fb5bf0253=reload

I have also never had a Nvidia card the "nvidia geforce experience" says my drivers are up to date maybe the settings in the control panel are of but im not really sure what im doing in there any ideas?

Firstly, what games you testing? At what resolution, what settings? Vsync on or off?
Are you testing with the same game settings you used with the R9 270X?

What is the rest of your system configuration? You could have a bottleneck w/CPU or RAM that could have been there before you installed the 970.

Im mostly testing on Blizzard Games such as Heroes of the Storm or Starcraft 2. I have also played the new Star Wars battlefront and same kind of deal over there i have Vsync of on these games so that i can see the frames but they seem to be within 5 frames and sometimes the games even run worse then before

Its likely your CPU is the bottleneck not your GPU.

First off... if the games you play are already maxed out from the 270X... then no, you won't really see any difference upgrading to a 970. I experienced that a few years back when I upgraded my incredible 8800GTS-512MB with an HD6850. There was no difference in gameplay whatsoever for me. But when I added another 6850 in Crossfire, then I noticed a difference... and games that had some lag gave me better framerates.
