I just bought the a Gigbyte WIndforce 970. But after replacing my 560TI the bot time and overall computer seemed to have slowed down.

 

mobo - asus p8z77-v

PSU - 600w

RAM - 8GB

Win 7

 

Running 2 HDDs

 

Its also boots on my second monitor then switches which it didn't do before.

 

Any advice, thanks.

Better use Display Driver Uninstaller to completely remove the driver to start clean

It uses the same driver as his previous card. I just put a 980 in my system and didn't experience this, the driver just adjusts itself to the new card.

Yea but when you install a driver. It scans your PC and then installed the right driver. He is having an issue because he had a 500 driver and then upgraded to a 900 which but using a 500 driver

I clean installed the new drivers, but didn't do anything with the old ones, I assumed it would just overwrite them.

Yea but some time especially for AMD. They leave files behind a lot when you uninstall their drivers.

I just looked it up, the "500" series drivers don't exist. They are just universal Nvidia drivers.
