6870 not performing.

[Sepzz]

well. I can't seem to get this card to perform on my computer like I think it should
My 2x 9500 gt's made everything load smoothly and all.


I switched from my old mobo to a new one. I went to 4 gigs of ram from 3.. I can't seem to get this working right.
In league of legends, it loads super slow.. i only get like 30-50 fps even in the lowest settings, and it dips to like 15 when i use skills


if anyone can look at this and possibly help me out it would be appreciated..

It's also not saying there is any memory load.. does that mean something is wrong?

Did you completely uninstall the Nvidia display drivers with driver sweeper and then install the latest AMD drivers?

 

[Sepzz]

yes I did a complete reformat of the harddrive. upgrading to a 64 bit os, instead of a 32 bit. fresh format and new drivers.

can anyone give me some info on this please?

I upgraded from an older mobo to that one.. cant remember the type. msi i think.
I upgraded my 2x 9500 gt's with a 6870.. I upgraded from 2 1 mb sticks and 2 500 mb sticks of ddr2 to 2x 2gb sticks of ddr3 memory.
I had a 585 watt offbrand psu that was supposedly too low in ampage to run my config.
I traded it for a 600 watt thermaltake, sli ready.. plenty of pci connectors, having the same results.
the other cpu i had in this was an amd athlonx2 5800+. and it ran everything better.

bumping again.. any ideas on this?

im going to say that the mother board you have listed is an invidia board ... you should of picked something radeon based .. as for every thing else is it possible that you have an under powered power supply? .. not that hard ware would draw a lot of juice .. it could also effect some things .. i personally have a 6870 although its not an xfx like yours i spent a little more and got the diamond brand and the thing overclocks very well .. much better than toms benches .. any way id sugjest testing it with a amd graphics solution .. nivida cards are kinda of a cleshay.. lol

 

[goodguy713]

also looking further into your details .. about your mother board i would have to say you made a poor choice you should of went with an invidia based graphics card with that mother board .. north bridge and south bridge are both invidia based .. and if your running windows 7 you should considering having at least 6 GB of ram .. preferably 8 .. but at that price it should be a non issue .. amazon has some sweet deals right now on ram.. any way thats my personal verdict .. swap it out for a 560 Ti or something and you will have comparable performance..

Well i just upgraded from a 585 offbrand. with this 600 watt thermaltake i notice no difference.. it's quite dissapointing. it has many more amps. lol. it's not like im using stuff that should require that much power.. the gfx card should, but as low profile as the rest of it is, im just beginning to doubt it's a power issue at all

again the power supply should be more then enough for your system .. i would say its your mother board being based off of invidia graphics .. im leaning more twards a bottle neck some where.. in your parts ..
