HD5700 over HD7790

[mark.gibson1992]

i purchased a HD7790 as an upgrade to my ol 5700 but upon installing i noticed really bad gameplay compared to my old GFX card although the new GFX had a better benchmark score from Furmark compared to my old one games like starcraft was a struggle to play on the new card.

can anyone help me understand my problem here?

Have you updated your drivers and CCC (if you use it)?

Old drivers cleanly uninstalled and latest drivers installed?

Ed: ^Doh!

Have you uninstalled the old driver and and installed a new one?

Download the Latest AMD Drivers. Caps are now included as part of the package. 64 bit link
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd...13.5_beta2.exe Currently 13.5 Beta 2

Un-install any other versions of Afterburner, Trixxx, GPU Tweak etc. Don't want other apps interfering. Do not keep user settings, delete everything.

Uninstall the AMD drivers via Add/Remove Programs.

Restart your pc.

Now you can install the new drivers. Use the express install option. Follow the prompt and restart your pc once installed.

Does that solve your problem?
