Hi, I'm getting very poor performances since I updated my NVIDIA Graphic drivers.
(It feels like my GPU is not getting used)

Exemple: The Sims 4

Very slow launching times

Normal FPS but it freezes like every 1,5 seconds

High CPU temperatures for such a game (around the 60-70's Celsius)

Very low GPU temps (like 37-42's Celsius)

Sorry for my bad english

how was your windows and games doing before you changed your GPU?
have you trued to install to your old GPU back to see if every thing go back like it was before?

Very well, I was able to run pretty much any games. I even have an OCULUS RIFT and I was able to play VR games just fine with normal temperatures and no performance issues at all.

have you tried to install to your old GPU back to see if every thing go back like it was before?

Tomy Robichaud · Mar 20, 2017

I installed the GeForce Game Ready Driver (Version 378.78) then I started have those issues. I then tried reinstalling multiple times, Going back to the version 378.66,ect but its still the same. It really feels like my GPU is not being used?!

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

is it new GPU card? or used?

Tomy Robichaud · Mar 20, 2017

I didn't change the GPU card I just updated the Nvidia drivers ect,because my nvidia control panel wouldn't stop crashing. I've had this card for almost a year now.

Tomy Robichaud · Mar 20, 2017

My cpu temperature is the 60C while browsing the internet, I forgot to mention I got some errors like "GPU failed to initialize" or something like that the first time I launched some games

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

look we got here Either software problem, or hardware problem,
let's work by logic.
first check you computer from the malware (malware fighter 4.5 it's free)or viruses if you pc were clean,then you need to go back to the factory with your windows , and watch every software you install, Especially, Nvidia update.
if you did every thing about the software and the CPU temp was hi you need to check the thermo past on you CPU ,it may need to replaced ,or your CPU base it may need to be fix ,or your cpu fan it may not work correctly and tell me about it,ok? good luck.

zuhair mohammed :

I'm running a Malwarebytes scan right now,
I don't know the most about hardware but it seems to be a software problem since the issues started right after I installed a driver? does it make sense?

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

yes , it can happen

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

you need to check about your hardware from time to time

Tomy Robichaud · Mar 20, 2017

The scan is not finished yet but it already found some malwares, I'll give you an update after the scan.

My cpu fan doesn't seems to be working properly but would that affect my GPU temps to stay very low??

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

if got regular fan ,the one that we use on the table,open your pc case died door and let the fan work on your motherboard and check the temp

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

take my advice and check your CPU thermal paste ,but, before you do that you need to get new thermal paste (Arctic Silver) use the gray one not the white,everybody say the gray is better than the white

Tomy Robichaud · Mar 20, 2017

I have battlefield 1 open right now on full ultra and it runs very well (+80 fps for sure)

I have put a table fan on my motherboard and here are my temperatures w/ bf1 full ultra opened:

Intel Core i7 4770 @ 3.40GHz 65 °C

4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (Gigabyte) 59 °C

is it acceptable or will it damage something?

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

65 for the CUP is very hi

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

what about the malware?

Tomy Robichaud · Mar 20, 2017

Ill buy some TP and check it, will keep you updated. thanks alot

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

try to download speedfun and try it

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

ok check the fun and the thermal

zuhair mohammed · Mar 20, 2017

the thermal should be very sticky not dry,inform about what will happen, good luck
