GPU Help - GTX 660Ti

[DarkLightFX]

Hey all, I recently purchased the Nvidia Asus 660Ti Direct CU II. I spent just over £200 on this card, and was a upgrade from my GTX 470. I read that it uses this some new technology where the graphics card will perform at the minimum requirements it needs, and will go higher if needed. However I will only get low frames on most games such as; Arma 2/DayZ, BF3, Minecraft, War Thunder. I'd much prefer if it ran higher than 30/40fps whilst recording because I don't feel it performs as well as the 470. Any idea on how to disable this new technology or improve my fps?

My setup:
Intel i5 2400 3.1ghz Overclocked 3.3ghz
8gb DDR3 1333mhz corsair vengeance Ram
Western digital 500gb
Nvidia GTX 660 Ti
MSI motherboard (Not sure exact spec)

Hope you can help

i would say 30-40 fps is quite normal if you are recording.

and you know the fact that you could have bought 7870 xt for 180£ and it has better performance than 660 ti
