something weird with my old gpu

[KeFy]

i see benchmarks for the gtx 660ti on youtube and they are capable of running at higher frames/settings than mine

 

for example i saw a video of a guy running fallout 4 on a 660ti at medium settings at 50 fps

then again i belive he was using an i7.

 

how can i check if my card is ok ?

 

current specs

i5 3450

cx430w corsair

Check the temps. Might be thermal throttling...

 Also check the ASIC rating, if its pretty low the card just might be dying.

Download HWMonitor or MSI afterburner. Open it and run it in the background while gaming and look at the max temp and clock speeds.

downloaded afterburner

clock speed were just above what they shoud be

and the max temp i got was 43c playing for around 10 mins

 

and cpu ussage is around 60-70% so i have no idea i guess its just a badly optimised game will upgrading to the gtx 1060 help ?
