Weak performance and crashes

I recently upgraded my GTX 570 to an Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080 FTW. All of a sudden, I am crashing daily. Also, while playing wow (not a very demanding game), my FPS are pretty weak a lot of the time, around 40-80 depending on what's going on. My GTX 570 was getting that good or better.

It's weird though because sometimes, in small maps for example, I will get up to 200 (the cap) but then I go outside and it plummets to 50.

My PSU is a corsair TX 750, and was working fine with the 570 so I don't think it's a power problem.

I also turned control panel to high performance and it's set to max as far as I can tell.

Blue screen error code:

On the Nvidia control panel, I've set it to "Multiple display performance mode" and tried "Single display performance mode" as some have suggested elsewhere. I've got a new ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q monitor, (connected via DP to the GPU) and a pair of other dell monitors (u2412m and u2410).

When I watch blu ray content and play games, I still get some screen tearing on the ROG swift which makes no sense to me. It seems like my GPU only wants to work well occasionally which boggles my mind.

I need it to be 0 tearing, 144-165 FPS minimum (for wow at least since my 570 was getting 100+)

What do you guys think? I am going to go run a GPU benchmark and see if my GPU is f***ed. I"ll post the results in a minute. Thanks.

On the ROG SWIFT you should just run it at 144Hz. You may be seeing tearing due to the overclocked refresh rate. Reviews showed that ghosting and other artifacts also creep back in over 144hz and the input lag becomes unreliable.

If you haven't done a complete wipe with the Nvidia installer or using Display Driver Uninstaller, you should give that a go. Might have some leftovers from the 570.

Test without your other monitors as well.

Can be many things but I'm supporting what burgessanthony said. When I replaced my GPU with one that's 2x as fast, all of a sudden my CPU temps went from 45 to 56 degrees running the same game (but with more eye candy). On the other hand, I guess you know what you're doing and your system is powerful enough to feed the 1080.

Try the uninstaller suggested by Eximo and if that doesn't solve the problem, I think it's a defective graphics card.
