a couple of times now my gig g1 while playing WOT is producing around 30/40fps at 1080p.

If i restart the pc it normally cures it but any idea what could be causing the performance drop?
 
I've had this usually when the PC has been on a few days. I assumed it was a driver issue, it's only happened once or twice so I haven't really bothered looking into it.
 
take a look in your event log.........the application and system ones to see if you have any nvidia driver failures.

i have seen this happen and it basically halved the fps

a clean install using DDU Cleaner and the latest driver sorted it for me

Still not sure if my g1 970 is working properly.

I installed DDU and erased all old AMD driver left overs and all Nvidea. installed all new nvidea drivers.

Ive still had to restart the pc a couple of times due to low FPS but not as much.

I feel though that the 970 is not working to its full potential. In WOT ive got vsync on but i still get a few drops in FPS to low 50s sometimes. Also ive been playing Elite Dangerous a bit and the FPS in that can go down to the 20s at times.

:(

Specifications of the rest of your PC could come in handy...Ya know, for the rest of us normal guys who aren't psychic! ;)
 
OK added specs to my SIG. Doubt its my CPU. Never had this problem with wot on my 7950.

On WOT last night I also noticed that my tank was quite blurry while driving along. Looked fine when stopped.
 
IF this is the same thing, you are the second person on these forums to experience this bug. (That I have seen)

Through my own research in to DAI and other games I came across a few threads on the interwebz of people complaining of low fps with the 900 series cards.

There is an official Nvidia thread and even someone has created a petition as Nvidia I don’t think have so far recognised it as an official bug.

If it's the same thing, you are the second person on these forums to complain about it.

How long have you had the card?

I'll try and find the relavant info. The other person on these forums with this issue, returned the card!

This is the official Nvidia thread.

As I said there is also a petition out there as well, as this hasnt been recognised by Nvidia yet.

And here is the petition.

If you had an AMD card in there before, usually it's not necessary, but as you are having issues, I suppose as a last resort you could try a fresh install of Windows.

OK so I'm not alone with this. Not sure what to do, its one of them crap intermittent problems that when you send it off for RMA it comes back with "nothing wrong with it"

Seems its my first time with Nvidea im Really not impressed with this card. Wishing I stuck with my trusty sapphire 7950.
 
OK so I'm trying a reinstall of win7. My OS is on my ssd while steam, uplay etc is on my D drive. I copied Documents & Downloads to an external HDD.

I've done the reinstall but was wondering how I can get everything back working again. Not sure how to get steam up lay back onto desktop and working?
 
First I would install chipset drivers sound drivers graphic drivers etc. good luck.

So reinstall is done. Ive only put the driver on which comes with the GPU and so far seems ok.

Elite D staying at 60fps with vsync on with occasional stutters when going into or out of a jump. GPU Usage about 30%

WoT staying at 60fps vsync on. I had FXAA on but it made the tank go blurry when travelling. Turned it off and it was ok. GPU Usage about 50%

Fcry 3 averaging 115fps. Same with that though when i put SMAA on things go blurry when i start to move. GPU Usage 98%

Arkham Asylum 60fps Vsync on. GPU Usage about 25%

only tried these for 5mins at a time. Think ill get the latest drivers next time and see what happens.

Not sure what to make of the GPU Usage. Anyone else the same?

What's wrong with the gpu usage? Looks fine to me.
