GT 720 not performing correctly

[Nalyd217]

Today a friend and I were going to play Rocket League. However when he got on, his fps was about 8. Normally it is much higher. So he restarted his game and tried again but to no avail. Next thing he did was turn down all of his settings in game. No change. Next he opened up some other games to see if it was just RL or something bigger. CS:GO worked okay for a little while but quickly we saw the same things happen as in RL. Next logical step since its in multiple games was to either update or reinstall drivers for the graphics card.  And did that help? No. Next he reinstalled the games because you never know. Than didnt work either however. And at this point before you say it, yes we did google it. Vigorously. But no one else was having this problem. And an interesting point to bring up is that he also tested his integrated graphics with these games but it was the exact same result. And after all of this still nothing soo... He reinstalled Windows. And did that work? Well, If it had then I wouldnt be here. 

 

Ps: no overclocking or anything has ever been done and all coolers are stock. 

 

 

Specs: (sorry I do not know all of the exact specs)

core i5 processor (dont know speed)

I personally think the GT 720 is not strong enough to play Rocket League.

Ah yes, the classic syndrome of not reading the OP's post...you know he states that it's higher usually?  

 

So it's not drivers, a bad install of the games, an issue with his OS...

Would it be possible for you to test the GPU in another system and another GPU in this system? Since you seem to have completed an exhaustive software-based troubleshooting, it may be a hardware issue

well you tried almost everything that u can other than putting another card in that system.

heres what you should try before that tho - install the drivers from the original disk that came with the gpu or download older ones - i know - its weird but i have seen it working.

if that doesnt fix it you get into deep troubles - you have something that is or is gonna burn out soon. From the big specs list i bet ur friend has older parts do the can be giving up the ghoust  - like i said above the easies way to troubleshoot from now on is to use parts from different PC - say put urs GPU in his rig and see if its slower that normal also - put that 720 in ur pc and test it there ...

you are in the situation where all sorts of things can cause this - for example hdd, ram, voltage regulators on the mb or psu, mb ports and on and on - at the point where software doesnt fix it you have to start troubleshooting the hardware and see what is messsed up

Currently we are not able to switch cards with eachother (for various reasons) but from what ive said would you at least be able to narrow it down to harware over software?
