Poor Gaming Performance (i7 7700k, GTX 960 SSC, MSI Gaming M270 M5)

AC130xGUNNER916 · May 29, 2017

I recently ordered new parts (i7 7700k, CoolerMaster Evo 212 LED, MSI Gaming Z270 M5 Motherboard G.Skill Ripjaw V 16gb DDR4 3200mhz & EVGA GTX 960 SuperSC 4gb) and I am recieving very poor performance in games. I get frequent stutters and poor fps. (note one of my RAM was faulty and I now only run 1 of the 2 sticks). Help!

Get the new ram. You need to be running dual channel to get the best performance. Second thing reinstall the drivers using this program. : http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html . After that install the new drivers from nvidia website.

It'd help to know what game(s) your testing with, what fps you are getting aswell as what settings and resolution you are running.
Did you do a clean reinstall with the new hardware or did you just swap the os over from the old build?

^ that - did you reinstall the OS from scratch?

And, unless you're doing e-sports it appears you've got too much CPU and not enough GPU.

No I used my 2 hard drives with the os and games already on them

Well I tested with Planetside 2, War Thunder, Arma 3, RAGE, Dirty Bomb, & Rising Storm 2: Vietnam

With the massive hardware swap you really should do a clean os reinstall to get the optimal performance from the new hardware.

Why would this do anything?

J_E_D_70 · May 29, 2017

windows is now really confused about what hardware you actually have. New mobo = new OS install. Every time (unless it's an exact or teallllly close replacement).

Unless you messed up really hard, you don't need to. I swapped from AMD to Intel and getting the expected performance without reinstalling OS. What you do need to do is get the faulty RAM replaced, and a GTX 960 isn't exactly a good card anymore.

are you taking into account that i have the Super-Super Clocked (4GB VRAM) version right?

BigBoomBoom · May 30, 2017

Super clocked is actually the cheap, entry model for EVGA (FTW is higher end), and the GTX 960 is on par with GTX 1050 Ti which is a budget card. The current "good" card is from GTX 1060 / Rx 480 and higher.
