Very bad cpu performance?

[benp2312]

I've had to fall back to my old athlon x4 631 due to setting fire to my 1155 motherboard due to a dodgey fan rewire... anyway, when i was using this cpu/mobo i had a pretty mediocre setup, x4 631, 8gb 1333, hd 6770 1gb. I could run bf4 fine on medium/low settings at 60fps, but using the same setup but with a 650ti boost my games run terribly. Im using the same ssd and windows install as my old 2500k/280x system, the only hardware differences are the mobo,gpu and cpu. Any ideas what could be causing the lack of performance?

did you install drivers for your 650ti when you placed it in the pc? if not go here http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/353.06/353.06-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe

 

if you did install drivers then send pics of the drivers u installed

if it's temporarely and you just waiting for your rma I suggest to wait and don't do annyting if it's more mid term I suggest like valdyrgramr to clear your driver using some software or do a clean install if it's worth the effort for you

Yeh i installed latest drivers, its the cpu thats the problem though. Im picking up an asrock pro 4 for £70, is that a good deal?

no rma unfortunately as i bought the board 2nd hand. Should be getting a asrock pro 4 by end of month so might be worth just waiting

Best thing to honestly do is save your data like pictures documents and videos and install a fresh copy of windows. Format your drive.
