GTX 660 giving low fps and low temperature - (eg: 19 frames 50°C)

tribewar · Apr 24, 2016

Manufacturer: iBUYPOWER Computers
OS: Windows 10
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
RAM: 16.0 GB
System type: 64-bit
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 660
Motherboard: ASROCK PCI Express 2.0 H61M-HVS

When I run games like Rocket League and Borderlands 2 it'll run fine and then the screen will go blue. With Borderlands 2 it would sometimes go blue. Not like the normal blue screen though. Like the entire screen would just be the color blue. The audio distorts and I would end restarting my pc. With a game like Heroes of the Storm it'll run at high settings, but poorly. (eg: 19 frames 50°C)
I've tried reinstalling my gpu and cleaning all of my fans but it doesn't seem to change much. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I really dont know what the problem is with my pc. If its my graphics card then I guess I'll just save up for the gtx 970. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to help with this. I also have my games installed on my (D: hard drive)

Sorry for the late reply. I don't really know much about PSUs but I hope this picture of it will help http://i.imgur.com/gdX3wTc.jpg
If this is the problem, how can I fix it? If this is the problem then what kind of PSU should I buy?

getting a new psu and installing it is how you fix it however if your new to this it requires unplugging and replugging every thing in i think a good 600-750W psu would be good for your system

The rig calls for a good 450 with 24 AMPs on the 12 volt rail, 600 is overkill, 750 is rather gross overkill. even for SLIing 2 of the 660 cards

i know that overkill the reason im thinking its a good idea is because it allows room to upgrade because i for one thing upgrading a psu is a pain

The PSU shouldn't cause low FPS unless it is throttling the VRM of the card due to excessive ripple. A GPU, just like a CPU, has a clock rate and has stuff to do every clock. Whether the PSU is good or bad should not affect FPS (excluding heat out of the equation) because all hardware simply either does what it has to per clock or does not, and if it does not, it should cause a total system freeze rather than poor performance. I've done a bit of research on this topic and discussed with Damric and Archaic idea the concept of a PSU affecting performance. Him and Archaic said throttling from excessive ripple would be the number one cause for the PSU affecting the performance of a GPU, but it seems unlikely with those low GPU temperatures.

Now, that's in response to the low FPS. The blue screening could well be caused by the PSU indeed, or from a dying GPU. Allied units are generally stinky.
