Hi
I am having a real problem with my new graphics card the evga 550ti. I upgraded from a crappy xfx 6670 but I got better fps on games on the 6670 than I get now on the 550ti. I tested it on minecraft and I got 40-50 fps where on the 6670 I got 100ish and I only got about 20-30 frames in war thunder, median quality. Here are my results on 3dmark http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2958428?. I have tried installing and reinstalling different versions of drivers. I check my power supply and it has more than enough amps/watts to support it. I just don't know what to do. I have a few suspicions of what it could be :
- My bios could be too old but I checked and its the most recent version (2012)
- I have dual vga monitors both on dvi converters maybe that does something? one is 1080p on is 900p
- My motherboard is old and can't cope? (speed of motherboard)
I would be really grateful if someone could help me. It could be something simple that I haven't thought of but I just don't know.
Kind regards
Tom

a 550ti is only about 20% better than a 6670.Its not really designed to drive 2 x 1080p monitors:
Maximum Digital Resolution 2560x1600
Maximum VGA Resolution 2048x1536

2 monitors doesn't imply he games on both of them.Also, a 550Ti shouldn't be bottlenecked by a 2.0 x16 slot.
Is your card getting hot?
Yeah it is quite hot like 50C and that not playing on games just chrome open.
