2060 poor performance

[Gwyn]

Hi guys

I’ve got a strange one. I just upgraded my sons gpu from a 970 to a 2060 super and everything is way worse. Oculus rift it glitchy and cod mw is stuttery even at low settings. I put the 970 back in and it’s glitching with that now as well. The only other thing I changed was the monitor and drivers.

i3 8100
8gb memory
Samsung ssd
AOC Q3279
Superflower 550

I tried reinstalling different drivers but made no difference. I’m on the verge of doing a full reinstall unless anyone has any ideas?

thanks
Gwyn

DDU is that driver uninstaller? Run that and then a fresh driver install?

 

[Gwyn]

Thanks, not done this since the old Radeon drivers lol. Bloody good idea though, will give it a go, thanks

Right I’ve ran DDU and installed new drivers. The 970 is now working perfectly so now going to change to the 2060. I’ve tried enabling freesync but can’t find the settings for it. What should the refresh rate be?

 

[Gwyn]

Why are you trying to fix the 970. Safe mode. Uninstall drivers. Ddu. Shut down. Remove 970. Install 2060. Reboot. Install new drivers.

just to test it. 970 was fine, upgraded to 2060 and all this issue started then went back to 970 and still having issues. Now 970 is fine so will try 2060 later

Just tried with the 2060 and loads of lag in game. Also a load of whine coming from the card. Going to try it in my machine and see if I get the same results

 

[Gwyn]

Is the GPU making the whine or extra stress causing the PSU to coil whine and is it only at high FPS?

it’s a good question and I’m not sure. It did make more whine with higher FPS. Will see if I still get it with the 970. Is it possible that the psu isn’t coping? It’s this psu

I know it would seem the GPU if the 970 does not do this it but it can be the new GPU causing the PSU to do it.

Roll up paper like a tube (or a Smarties tube) and try pinpoint the noise.

Will try it. Just tried it in my pc and its perfect and silent.

Actually scrap that, the card is giving a lot of coil whine whilst in game

I always normally find this is by far the quickest way instead of spending hours trying to fix a fault..

As it normally only takes me around an 1 hour to backup my stuff ,install windows, windows updates , install drivers, install my normal other stuff

It’s getting to that point

 

[Gwyn]

It’s defo the gpu

I’ve just put 16 gig of ram into the system and Cod mw is still a little laggy on medium setting. Should I be expecting better performance or is the cpu holding it back?

 

[Gwyn]

Reinstalled windows and COD worked perfectly with all setting set to highest possible even ray tracing.

It’s now gone to how it was before where movement is jerky. Whilst in game I checked memory usage and it shows 91% could this be causing it?

 

[Gwyn]

Sorry for the delay in replying. I have removed and reinstalled COD. Strangely it works perfectly with max graphics setting in the single player but still has jittery performance online. Ive got 76mb fibre, what else could cause this. Its not really bad but when you move the mouse from side to side, there is a slight delay or stutter.

Thanks guys, I will give it a go later today
