graphicscard Nvidia better connection to CPU than amd?

[Ixon]

Hello, i've lent a GTX 1080 Ti founders edition and had no lags with my (VERY bad) amd fx-4100 Quad Core. Then, i bought my own graphics card, a amd rx 580 with 8GB (Because for changing CPU i have to pay a lot more).

From then on, i had frame drops in R6 Siege. Can this be because of the other graphics card?

the rx 580 is max on 50% usage, 1080ti on 30%.

 

Thanks <3

The more powerful graphics card demanded more graphics computing power, thus, reducing the cpu load overall. The RX 580 isn't as powerful as the 1080ti obviously, and that could explain some inconsistencies. Keep in mind, you are on a very poor CPU, so you should have expected frame drops either way.

Go download DDU and run it: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

 

Installing drivers on top of drivers, no less from separate companies is bad and causes lots of problems. This will likely correct some of your problems, but not all with that abysmal CPU you have. And BTW, R6S is a HEAVY CPU bound game.

Did you DDU in safe mode before installing AMD drivers on top of nVidia ones?

That's not how it works. Like, at all.

Leaving games to be graphically dependent can overall reduce stress on the CPU. This is where I was getting at. I poorly explained it. That is on me

Just changing the graphics card to a more powerful one won't magically reduce CPU load by making the game more GPU reliant. If anything, it would increase the load on the CPU.

Sorry you're right. I have my s*** backwards this morning. Please excuse my 2 hours of sleep. I understand that the more GPU reliant you are making the games will send the graphics instructions to the CPU faster than it can already handle. Thus, resulting in the increase in CPU load. Shoot I need to get some sleep and stay off the forum. Embarrassing...
