Hey guys,
So I recently upgraded from a GTX 275 to a GTX 570 and was expecting performance increases in games. However, when I tested games on my new card I found that I was getting lower FPS than with my GTX 275, which obviously isn't right. In fact, I was just playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 on DirectX 9 on high settings (same settings as I always used on the GTX 275) and noticed that my FPS was dropping in the 20's and even in the teens! It's frustrating because my GTX 275 played on these settings very smoothly and when I upgraded to this card I was expecting an increase in performance not a decrease. It's weird because it seems the performance of the card gets even worse over time (although it starts off poorly in the first place). For instance, when I first start playing I was getting around 25-40 FPS, which is still worse than my GTX 275, but as I kept playing I would get even lower FPS around the 15-28 FPS range.
I have an older computer that I built in 2007 (which still uses Windows XP Professional) but have made a few upgrades to it. Here are my system specs:
Motherboard: EVGA 680i SE
CPU: intel Core2Duo @ 3.00 GHz
Memory: Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 570 SC
Power Supply: PC Power & Cooling 750W
Now I understand that games like BFBC2 prefer a quad core processor but I should be getting higher FPS than that and like I said before I was getting a lot better FPS with the same setup on my GTX 275. I've also tried a couple other games and noticed I can barely keep 30 fps and often times drop into the 20's even in an old game like the Witcher.
Here is a list of things I've tried so far (list is not in chronological order):
-Cleaned and reinstalled the latest drivers
-Updated BIOS to the latest version
-Installed latest motherboard drivers
-Tested in other user profiles.
-Checked the processes, nothing's eating up resources
-All hardware is set to default (no overclocking, unless it came factory overclocked)
-Checked the temperatures, everything is running cool, including the graphic card
-GPU-Z shows that the GPU usage is low when playing games, even though I get terrible FPS.
So I'm stomped, I don't know what else to do, that's why I came here to ask others who may know what it is.
