Hi

my specs
asus m5a88-v evo
amd fx4300
radeon r9 270x
650W seagate PSU

i get massive lagspikes in multiplayer games since i switched from my gtx460.
its like network lag plus it ignores all input for the time... mouse freezing...
dota 2 unplayable.
csgo "annoying".

in sp-games (witcher 3, gta5) its still smooth

i suspect the cpu is bottlenecking but i thought that means i cant use the card to its potential... never heard of such problems...

thx for any advise/experience
 
Most likely old driver fragments and registry settings left behind from your old card.
First download and install this.
DDU dedicated driver uninstaller.

Make sure you uninstall all video drivers. Old card and new card from computer.
Reboot into safe mode and run DDU for Nvidia and AMD video card drivers.
Reboot into normal windows mode.
Windows will install generic VGA driver if cleaning was successful.
Install new video card drivers.

thanks.
i did all that,
at the moment i'm on a fresh install of win 8.1 driver up to date.
i just installed the chipset driver from amd (instead of asus...) will test tomorrow.

edit:
still no luck
