Low FPS 780

[virtualTune]

I just installed a new GPU yesterday, Gigabyte GTX 780 GHz Edition. Asic is 80.1% I haven't tried overclocking it yet, but I did try it in a couple games so far.

Especially in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 I get significant frame drops to below 10FPS quite often now. This makes it nearly unplayable. All my drivers are up to date. I recently changed from Fullscreen to windowed mode because I like to still use my other monitor while i am in-game. I'll change it back to Fullscreen, maybe that is an issue. shouldn't be though.

 

Any ideas what the problem could be?

How about other games? I don't really think using CoD is a good way to determine that your having problems with your card. I don't think its optimized for PC.

Try games like SC2 , Farcry 3, Skyrim & Battlefield

Try using only 1 screen by removing the other in the control panel?

switching to fullscreen seems to lower the rate at which the drops occur but they still happen. I'll load up Crysis 3 and check the fps there.

It could also be a defective card. I had a similar problem with one of my cards, and it turned out to be defective. I would suggest that you make sure that you regeister your card on the manufacturer's website so that support will be easy if that turns out to be the issue. Also, make sure your temperatures are not too high as this could also be caused by throttling due to high temperatures. In addition run some stability tests with dem!ndingg games to see if you blue screen. If you do it may be an indication of a defective card if you r temperatures are not too high. When I was testing my defective card certain games would almost completely guarantee a blue screen. Try games like Battlefield 4, crysis 2, crysis 3, and metro last light. Also, this may seem like an odd suggestion, but launch garrys mod and see if you get any stutter. When I had a defective card Garry's mod had some strange microstutter. before completely concluding your card is defective I would also suggest reinstalling your graphics drivers, trying a different version of the graphics driver, and reinstalling Windows. If all if this fails, and you are still experiencing frame rate drops, and if you do end up having blue screens from the games I suggested , you may Indeed have a defective card. Hope this helps. Good luck.

no problems in Crysis, smooth 60+ fps. temps are below 65 degrees.

Did you re-install drivers after switching cards?

i haven't encountered this problem before have u tried using the Geforce experience to optimize settings might help

[virtualTune]

I just ran Valley for 15 minutes. No issues what so ever. Temps stabilized at 72 degrees. Power Target is 116%, Temp Target 95 degrees. Temperature is prioritized. I did noticed that before the test, overvoltage was enabled, however that did not affect my temperatures during playing the games before.

As far as optimizing the games go, I did optimize CoD during the fullscreen test earlier. I usually have everything set to lowest to maximise fps, except for the res of 1440p of course.

I did reinstall Geforce Experience, I did not manually reinstall Nvidia CP.

hmm i don't know i've looked at this on other websites and it's nothing like yours try playing with the in game settings and maybe scream at the game and tell it to stop  

[virtualTune]

i am not much of a screamer

Let's blame it on the game. The PC support for Call of Duty games was never very big.

[Bonsai99]

I did not manually reinstall Nvidia CP.

Re-install, see if it fixes anything.

[virtualTune]

reinstalled everything, still dropping very low regularly even tried beta drivers

Making Progress. It is in fact not the gpu at all. Instead it is porbably the PSU or the motherboard.

I did a test today where I had ran OCCT and Unigine Valley at the same time. The CPU temps are fine at 65 and 4.5GHz. The gpu looks also fine, but the fps where never above 20. Without OCCT, I had stable fps above 50.

So now the question is: CPU, PSU or MoBo?

I think it is the PSU. I changed it 3 weeks ago from a HX1000 to a RM850. I will install the HX1000 as soon as I can and test again. Hopefully that was indeed the problem and I can send it in.

Bo2 just sucks, your card is fine
