GTX 680, Slow Animations /laggy/ on Windows 7 Desktop

[serge85]

Hello from colombia! , my name is Sergio, and I'm having a little problem with my PC.

Today I formatted my PC, installed windows 7, the 314.22 drivers for my GTX 680, and all seemed to be fine...until I noticed some laggy animations in the desktop, like :

drop down menu

square to select multiples files

The Funny thing is that as soon as I open a program that somehow uses the GPU, like the resident evil 6 benchmark or Google Chrome, the problem stops, the animations works flawless (like they used to work before the format)

And therefore, as soon as a I close chrome (or the bench)the animations begin to lag...again..

I suppose the problem is the GPU working at the bare minimum in windows, But who knows, I hope someone can help me around here.

Many thanks for your help!

The first thing I would try is a different set of drivers. If that doesn't help you may want to download something like the EVGA Precision program and see if raising the 2D speed of the card makes any difference.

I'm also going to recommend exchanging your drivers. Make sure to try the newest beta drivers.

So this occurred with the last fresh install, but went away with another one? Strange, in a good way.

I had a lot of problems when Windows 7 first came out. The vga would stop responding/recover resulting in hangs. It might be attributed to the driver also or driver/os combo.

In any case it does not surprise me.

The problem was almost certainly missing drivers for the motherboard's chipset. They were probably included in the newer version of Win7, but not the older one he tried first.
