Hey guys,
I just bought and installed a GTX 1050 ti on my rig. My other specs include an FX 6300 processor, a 600 W Corsair power supply. I run on windows 8.1, and i play the majority of my games through steam. As of late, my loading time once my computer logs in has grown by a fair deal. Last night I installed my new graphics card, replacing my AMD R7 260x (a severely outdated card, but it did its job well). After installation, i put in the drivers. My computer at first reacted positively, but after some time I found that I could not load one of my favorite games (Ark Survival). I "optimized" its settings on the GeForce experience. After rebooting my computer multiple times, freezing mid load, etc., it finally opened onto a server. It then continued to freeze, receive horrible FPS and kick me off. I updated my drivers overnight, cleaned my computer, and validated my files. I am wondering if i am bottlenecking either from my CPU, even though a bottleneck calculator said it would only be around 2%, or it my mobo is causing issues. Does anyone have any advice? It has been extraordinarily frustrating to install a new graphics card and be met by a wide array of issues.
Thanks,
Palmer
