R7240 8500gt problems

[Joeyfla95]

I Bought myself an Asus R7 240 GPU as a replacement to my 8500gt for my world of tanks rig but when i took the r7240 for a spin [Before i say the 8500gt at 720p could keep an average of 40fps at low preset] and even at MINIMUM it couldnt keep 20 fps. What the ball?

Did you run DDU to remove the old Nvidia drivers?

Yep and i used catalyst to get the latest drivers for that card

hmmmmm 

 

I'd say check the GPU and CPU usage to see if anything strange is going on.

just ran a furmark burn in at 720p

My Core 2 duo 6300 was normal under gaming load

And the gpu [According to afterburner] was being used as normal

Did Furmark run normally? Is the issue restricted to just WoT?

Furmark ran at the norm for this particular card. at 20-10 fps. And yes it only dumps at WoT with gmod doing good [Mainly Because it runs off that HL2 Engine] And Killing floor doing fine

I meant if it ran everything else normally compared to the 8500GT -- not necessarily if it ran well. 

 

Oh, and what does "normal" mean in regards to the CPU and GPU usages?

just note that amd radeon driver have higher cpu overhead, so that might be it

norm at WoT Is usually hovering around 30 to 90.

With my 8500Gt it hung around 70%
