Odd frames throught with 6700k

[jeonjaeng]

So i got the 6700k from intel, i have upgraded to 16gb of ddr4 ram as well. All new drivers are also installed for the intel cpu, however i am getting worse framerates in almost every game that i am playing. Does anybody know why this might be?

did you install the gpu driver? i recommend 361.xx or 362.xx version, 361.91 for example, unless you're playing the latest titles

remember to get the right version for your OS

 

whats the gaming resolution at? 1080p? 1440p?

also, you can try monitoring your hardware using MSI afterburner, its a useful tool to monitor your system to check for potential issues

did you do a clean install of windows when you changed cpu and motherboard or just plug and play?

it's recommended since it will not only remove any drivers you dont need thus free-ing space, it will also prevent the chances of drivers working against each other

 

1080p on a 960 is fine, try monitoring the gpu usage and core clock with msi afterburner, maybe vram too if you have 2gb version

reminder: dont forget to do a backup before you do a fresh install
