Recently built myself a new computer with the following spec's:

ASUS M5A99X R2.0
AMD FX 6200
Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3
ASUS GeForce GT 630
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

The problem I'm having is everything that I assume uses the graphics card's resources seems to run quite 'slowly'.
Even playing a song in Windows Media Player and having the Visualization set on Fire Storm in Bars & Waves doesn't work very smoothly.

I've tried updating the driver to the latest available from Nvidia. And I've also tried uninstalling it and re-installing it again.

Anyone got any ideas on what else it could be? Or have I got a faulty card :(
 
uninstall the card, run driver sweeper to get rid of all the nvidia drivers and reinstall the latest drivers again, also make sure the card is sitting in the slot correctly

don't link to other websites that sell components dude, or you will get suspended by the admins

also, that psu is fine, plus the gt630 don't use a 6pin adapter, it gets all its power straight from the PCI slot on the mobo, so that shouldn't be the problem

install MSI Afterburner, this will tell you what your GPU is doing with the core frequency, how much memory and core speed is being used... maybe helpful... if its high like you are in a game when using WMP or a normal youtube vid, then the card could be faulty, but this is doubtful... probably, just a driver issue if you ask me

Ah sorry about the link didn't know that :(

Thanks very much will look into Afterburner aswell.

Hoping it is just a driver issue somewhere and not the card.
