GTX 750 TI Performance Issues

Hello, I recently purchased an EVGA GTX 750 ti SC (Super clocked) on newegg. Before I purchased this card I did some research and used my "benchmark" Dirty Bomb. I saw some youtube videos like this one: 

. Once I saw that video, the GTX 750 ti seemed like the perfect card for me so I purchased it. I just installed it today and unfortunately the performance is in no way similar. On Dirty Bomb, I'm lucky if I receive 30 FPS on LOW quality. This just makes no sense to me, the card looks perfectly fine, there were no issues with the box so it can't be physical damage. Maybe it is my system specs? Well I'm not for sure but if you have a suggestion I would love to hear it because I really wanna play Dirty Bomb on my new card and right now it is unplayable... Please note, it's not just Dirty Bomb that is disappointing me. Many games I own are a lot slower then what they showed in the videos I watch on youtube.

It's the Athlon X2 and your low amount of RAM...

 

Massive bottlenecks, even for the 750 Ti

 

Not the card.

 

I can get 30FPS on dirty bomb with a GT 610.

So the ram and processor are what are slowing it down?

 

Yeah, You can't really get away with 4 gigs of RAM in modern games these days.

 

But the main thing would be that processor. That is the main thing that is really holding you back.

The Dualcore you have is NO modern dualcore, its fair old, and games will suffer for it. Same for the low-Memory amount, modern game engines want more.

 

Most reviewers of hardware PAIR GPU's with STRONG CPU's with decent amounts of Memory as well,................& with a better CPU it allows better performance from that GPU and the game itself has much better performance with a faster CPU than yours.

Do you have any suggestions on what I should upgrade too. I'm assuming I'll have to get a new motherboard as well? 

 

I don't have much money to spend (in fact, none at all after buying the card)...

I'm almost 99% positive all drivers are installed. Is there anyway to check just to be sure?

Open up Geforce Experience and go over to the drivers tab and click check for updates

Yeah, to get much of an upgrade you will have to opt for a new mobo, because any new processor you could get to fit that socket would not be worth it in terms of a performance increase. The only thing is, new motherboard = having to buy a new copy of windows.

 

A nice, cheap solution that would serve you well is a pentium G3258, you could pair that with any $50 motherboard that will fit in your case and be set to go. Also if you do get the pentium, I would suggest also getting an aftermarket cooler, because that thing is an absolute overclocking BEAST if you get a good cooler and rivals some much more expensive processors when overclocked.

 

If you have a bit more money you could go with an i3. It has the same amount of cores, but you get the bonus of hyper-threading that provides to additional virtual cores for better CPU based things, like multitasking and video editing/rendering.

All drivers are up to date and installed.

Try uninstalling the drivers with DisplayDriverUninstaller, and then installing them again. 

If it still fails to live up to your expectations, you're probably dealing with a bottleneck.

No doubt from the Dualcore from years ago and the low memory not playing nice with the game engine.

Besides a CPU/Memory/Motherboard upgrade, there is not much you can do to get better performance (usage) out of your GPU.

/Some games will still fare better than others, not all games are equal, some other games may indeed be more playable.

Also if you do get the pentium, I would suggest also getting an aftermarket cooler, because that thing is an absolute overclocking BEAST if you get a good cooler and rivals some much more expensive processors when overclocked.

What?? You don't need to buy a new copy of windows for a motherboard change...

 

Also, do NOT get the G3258. Don't.

 

Also, most i3's don't have hyperthreading...

I agree, No copy of Windows is needed, your o0ld one will suffice,..

That dualcore is not enough for todays modern engines (not all games are playable, it will be better overall, but not the best way to go)

 

IMO - i5 4440 or higher for any GAMING machine.. it saves so much headache in the long run.

Even i3's can have performance dips SEEN in game.

Windows copies link to motherboards, and although most windows copies are able to be legitly installed on two PCs he has an enterprise evaluation which (I believe) can only be installed on one PC.

 

a G3258 would be ideal for his situation because, if you actually read the previous posts he has like no money now, therefore he can't buy an i5. Also, modern games are perfectly playable with a G3258 (especially dirty bomb).

 

Also, the cheapest i3 you can get (which, seeing that he has not much money for upgrades at all he would probably get) has hyper threading. Also, which ones don't have hyper threading? Because I just looked at a bunch of them and they all do.....

If you bought windows, you can install it on any computer you want, as long as only one at a time. 

If it will have ANY issues at all, it will be that you have to call in to do the code verification (3 minutes). 

 

G3258 is NOT suitable. Overclocking is not guaranteed, and so many games today don't even launch on a dual core (will be even more of a problem in the future). 

OP Needs to save up for a i5, and a motherboard. Period. 

Buying stuff "For now" is a terrible idea, and I speak from first hand having two Asus gpus that don't work and i can't do anything with, and I spend $400 more than if I would have waited.

I believe in budget gaming, but the G3258 is not the chip for this. 

You cannot game very well at all on two cores, let alone general windows usage.
