Poor Performance/Screen Tearing

[Equilibrium_FOOL]

Yesterday I bought a used EVGA GTX 980 Classified, to upgrade my current 970.  I removed my old 970, installed the 980, updated the drivers, then went to bed without testing further.  This morning I opened Geforce Experience, and I got this message:

Which I thought was rather strange.  So I loaded up Eurotruck (max settings @1440p, still not a difficult game), and I was getting 20fps and screen tearing/stuttering with Vsync on.  I did experience some screen tearing with my 970, so I

attributed that to my monitor.  I then started Space Engineers (nearly max settings with my 970, 30-60 fps) and I am getting awful fps (10-20fps).  I tried some other games with very similar results.

 

Where do I from here?  Should I uninstall all Nvidia drivers, fresh Windows install? 

 

Is there any other information I should be providing, forgive me if there is anything obvious.

Drivers might be just for the 970. Try reinstalling the nVidia drivers.

This looks like it's using the iGPU (based on RAM "7.86 GB usable") is your display plugged into your graphics card?

 

Other than that, use DDU and fresh install 980 ti drivers

Seems to be working, thanks for the help.

Good to hear you got it working... yeah... usually best to totally uninstall the drivers when changing GPU's even if it's different models in the same family.
