New GPU Issue

[Daero]

I recently bought a new GTX 1650 Super graphics card from Newegg. This was an upgrade from a several year-old GTX 750 Ti. Aside from the GPU, I changed nothing in my system. I installed the card in my pc, installed the drivers for it, and began testing it out. For a couple minutes, it was running perfectly. However, something is causing games to run only at 15-20 fps. I tried adjusting settings in-game, turning off Intel integrated graphics, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, using Afterburner to adjust how the card was running, changing 3D settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel, and just about everything else I could think of. Regardless of the game or settings, I can't get more than a choppy 20 fps. At this point I'm leaning towards a faulty card, unless anyone has advice on how to try fixing this.

Did you use DDU to uninstall the old drivers? The normal uninstall leaves a lot behind. Some of it can interfere with performance, especially when you jump brands or a few generations on the card.

No, how do I do that?

Go here:

Read everything before you download and run, there's instructions there. General idea is you'll want to boot into safe mode, run this, reboot, then reinstall with the latest drivers. It's a third party tool to remove everything the AMD/Nvidia drivers leave behind.

Used DDU, still having the same issue as before. Any other advice?

Fresh copy of Windows maybe. That would be my last step probably while troubleshooting

I think I'd rather shoot for a replacement card. Thanks for your help though!
