I wasn't really impressed when I changed my graphics card from Inno3d GT610 1GB DDR3 64bit to Zotac GT730 DDR5 64bit. I need to know why there's no noticeable change in my FPS.

Here's my PC specs:
AMD A4 6300
8GB Kingston HyperX Fury ddr3
Zotac GT 730 1GB DDR5 64bit
Gigabyte F2A68HM-S1
 
Solution


In that case, for sure you have a bottleneck. It's an APU :p

That A4 6300 CPU could barely keep up with the 730. The AMD CPU is equal to an Core2Duo E8700 dual core.
And people are suggesting a 750Ti? Why not go all the way to a 980?

To OP: Run GPU-Z in background with both cards to see the actual utilization

I thought so that the gt 730 can beat the gt 610 but I'm really surprised that their performance is almost the same. I'm just trying to play dota 2 in high settings.

I'm just trying to play dota 2 in high settings. My fps in gt610 is almost the same as my fps in gt730.

Yes. I've run it and the specs of gt730 overpowers the gt610

Dota 2 is hardly demanding, the and CPU should run it fine at decent fps as should the 730.

Just to be sure

1. You do have your monitor plugged into the 730 video outputs & not plugged into the motherboard video out ??

2. You have done a reinstall of the nvidia driver package.

I've tried everything and yes my monitor is correctly plugged to my gt730. I think it's a bottleneck. Thanks for the help :)

If you don't run CPU-Z, you won't find out the answer. What you verified is just the theoretical maximum performance, like if you had unlimited CPU power to "feed" the GPU with data. Your reality is different.
