I just switched from an HD6970 to a Gigabyte GTX 670 and now when I alt-tab out of a game my PC is super slow, as if all the resources were being used up. If I play a video the video is all choppy and jerky, and the machine feels generally slow, even web surfing or opening folders, until I close the game (ANY game or 3D app).
As if I had a memory leak problem, but those are easy to stop in the task manager, but I'm not running out of system resources, I check Task Manager and it seems normal. Nothing unusually high as far as resource usage, weird.
I'm just using my comp as I normally do. I have a 2500K @ 4.3 GHz with 16 GB RAM, ASUS P8Z68-V PRO mobo on Windows 7 x64, like I said, the only difference is the card/drivers and it happened the very day I switched, and when I switched I uninstalled the AMD drivers first.
I even used Driver Sweeper to get rid of the AMD drivers, I also as a last resort uninstalled the Nvidia drivers, went to Safe Mode, used Drive Sweeper on Nvidia drivers, rebooted, and re-installed the Nvidia driver with the clean install option.
I ran out of ideas, could it be a bad card or some other related process/drivers that are screwing up my machine?
Or it is simply the fact that these cards don't have the raw computational power as the AMD ones, even though true, I find it hard to believe that this is the case.
Help? I'm just about ready to give up and change it for a 7970 or something.
