So, I'm looking into an issue I'm having effecting my FPS in games. I was goofing around in Borderlands 2, and noticed my FPS topping off in this one area at 47 FPS on all high settings. But here's the thing, I upgraded my GPU today from a HD Radeon 7850 2gb to a GTX 980.

I got 45 FPS on the 980, 2 FPS lower in that area. Now, something is clearly wrong. I mean, very wrong. a HD Radeon 7850 2gb VS a GTX 980, the 980 is going to STOMP the hell out of a 7850. I'm thinking it's the start of a mobo going out, I noticed my FPS dropping in many many games over the last couple of years, I've came to think it's the Mobo, or the CPU.

What do you guys think? (I'll list my specs below)

AMD FX 8350 BE @ 4.2Ghz

Corsair Vengeance 16GB @ 1866

EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 FTW.

Biostar TA990FXE Extreme Overclocking Board.

So, I gave it a few days, the i5 performs so much better then the 8350, I'm going to do a fresh install of Windows on the 8350 system and get back to you guys, I'm now getting capped FPS in every single game I'll do a v sync off comparison and let you guys know the numbers, so as of right now, 8350 on the borderlands menu is around 110-130 but with the i5 system it's getting 290-300. Once the fresh install happens once I get another water cooler I'll let you guys know what's up.

IDK if this will help determine anything, but out of no where, my Computer just started to load, REALLY slow, like I have my OS on an SSD, and it loaded very fast for a little while, but out of no where, when it tries to log me in it takes a really long time. but once it loads it's alright. All seems normal.

IDK if it's due to a bottleneck, but I'm 100% sure I have a bottleneck in the system. Because 47 FPS on a old card, then 45 on a new card? And then the load times, and it just seems sluggish at times and on games.

Nah, it's not a bottleneck, since I have a 8320 with R9 380 and there are no major bottlenecks. AMD CPU's temps are not too accurate when CPU is idling. I would try to reinstall windows, since it doesn't require any hardware replacements and stuff like that.
