Posted November 13, 2014 I am having no problem with the actual card, it runs fine etc, it's the software im pretty sureSo before the GTX 970 I had a AMD R9 270 in which all the games I had previously had been running fineSince installing the 970 I am having problems with a few gamesBattlefield 4 will no longer let me access the options menu because my PC will completely Freeze(Also having Cloud/Local data problems, so I'm not sure uninstalling would be the best idea if I don't have anything in the cloud..which i don't know, it should be server side(origin) but the client side is still...)Borderlands 2 also completely freezes after i take the first 2 steps after the game loads upBorderlands 2 was working the on 970 Prior but I was running the PhysX off the CPU and not the GPU, but performance was tanking down to 20-30fps.. Like borderlands 2 isn't that demanding..I'm just not sure whats going onIs it best to uninstall the games I'm having trouble with and re installing them ?

Posted November 13, 2014 Already done that, However I have heard of some people having bad issues with driver sweeper. use windows system restore to create a system restore point before you use driver sweeper... trust me... I learnt the hard way and had to reinstall windows... the SECOND time it ruined my installation (thanks AMD drivers) I was able to use system restore. it sounds like a driver issue for sure. uninstall ALL NVidia stuff, including Physix, reboot, uninstall ALL the AMD drivers, reboot, install the Nvidia drivers, reboot. test. if this method dosnt work then use DDD (driver uninstaller) Sim Rig: Valve Index - Acer XV273KP - 5950x - GTX 2080ti - B550 Master - 32 GB ddr4 @ 3800c14 - DG-85 - HX1200 - 360mm AIO Quote Long Live VR.

Posted November 14, 2014 Don't use Driver Sweeper. Use Display Driver Unintaller (or DDU for short). You can grab it from here. It will boot into safemode and remove everything. I have had very good results with it. My Blog | My PC | Follow me on Twitter | Add me on Facebook | Subscribe to my YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 14, 2014 Try uninstalling and re-installing everything? (not just drivers) Ketchup is better than mustard. GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Posted November 14, 2014 me personally any time i upgrade my system i fresh install a new os and everything. it might take an extra hour but it cuts out all the extra bull shit like this. I had similar problems going from an old hd 4870 to my gtx 650 ti, after screwing around for hours I ended up just doing a re-install of windows and all of the issues were cleared up. And running PhysX of the cpu isn't a good idea, your better off just using a entry level card, I found that out for myself after running Nvidia's benchmarking tool (http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/put-your-system-through-its-paces-download-the-pla-directx-11-and-physx-benchmark). With my 650 ti set to run as the dedicated physx card, I had the average frame rate equal that of the max fps of the 970 doing everything on its own, and that's with the 650 running off a pcie x 16 v2.1 slot @ 2x (970 takes up a pcie x16 v3 slot), running everything off the CPU (which in my case disabled physx) gave even better fps than either solution, at the cost of some effects. And since Borderlands 2 uses PhysX, like the unreal engine, you will notice big improvements. "We also blind small animals with cosmetics. We do not sell cosmetics. We just blind animals."
