recently upgraded my old system components, now computer is running worse than before??
CPU- went from an old intel pentium 2.2GHZ to an AMD A8-6600k APU
GPU- went from invidia 210 to the internal A8 GPU
RAM- went from 2gb ddr2 to 8gb ddr3
MOBO- not sure of what old mobo was, went to an MSI A88xs-gaming.
running 2 sata WD 250gb 5200k??
went from windows 7 to windows 8 as well.
before upgrade i could run games, just on minimum settings.... games consisted of skyrim, dragon age 2, civ 5, fable 3, kotor 1 and 2.
i tried running arma 3 and witcher 2, loadup screens would play good, but game itself was way too slow making it impossible to play.
with the new setup, i cannot run any of these games.... tried witcher 2 and the loadup screen would run extremely slow to where it was unwatchable.. skyrim wont even load to a new game. i tried both games on low settings, same thing, also tried running the invidia 210 still no dice.....
it doesn't make since to me that moving to a faster cpu and gpu would make games run slower? my old setup seemed to run games better... please help, i feel i just wasted 300$ for worse performance.
