GTX 690 - HELP!!!

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

I recently bought a really good gaming PC with a gtx 690.
For the first few days, it ran BF3 at 120FPS without Vsync, and LoL a bit higher I think.
A few days later, my brother, being the idiot that he is, pulled half of the front USB port out of the case. The bottom one still works, top one doesn't.

Ever since then, my FPS in BF3 is 50-60 and in LoL it is 30-40 . . . WITH A GTX 690!!??

Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on.

Rest of Specs:
I7 3970X Extreme 3.50GHZ 12 Core
32GB Ram
2TB Hard Drive
3 Fans + Liquid Cooling

Thanks everyone,
Adaptive Vsync== Enabled
Triple Buff == Disabled

Worked, well a little.
Some lag is gone now,
But its still not as smooth as it used to be.
And srsly, a clean driver install, I've done that in the past with other PC's and all that solved was nothing. Sorry, but Ive lost hope in that.
Any other ideas.

The front USB port can't have had anything to do with it. If anything some wires may have been pulled a bit loose. I'd check first that the PCI power cables are properly connected and that the card is seated properly.

Alright, time for operation fix it.
Im defragging all the drives now, to see if that helps.
Ill then check the Power Cables inside to see if they are all connected properly.
One looks a bit loose so yeah.
Ill then check the temps, to see if it is throttling down on purpose.
Ill then test it with a few games and post the results here.

Well everyone, I FIXED IT
Youll never believe what the problem was.
*Kills Brother*
Well, my brother thought it would be funny to both pull out my USB ports and also open my case.
So, I open it myself today, I look inside.
I see a little line that sais SLOW_MODE
with a switch next to it . . . which was ON.
I switched it off
FPS back at 120 where it belongs.
Thx everyone!
