GTX295 low performance

[Tazz1287]

I Just changed my GTX260 with a GTX295, but instead of seeing an immporvment the result was just the opposite. Games that where running perfectly on GTX260 run very slow on my new card. Then I realized that even old games like Prototype run really slowly. I updated my BIOS and reinstalled the drivers.

Just tested the card on my friends system and worked flawlessly running battlefield 3 on ultra settings.

Here is my configuration:

Pentium Dual Core E5200
Asus pk5pl-am
2gb RAM
ATX 0600AT 600W

What is causing my problem?

Looks like a PSU issue to me.How old is your PSU and which brand? You are probably CPU bottlenecked anyway.

That PSU should be enough. Its possible the GPU and CPU are on the same rail. If you have a second set of PCI-E power connectors, try hooking them up in place of the current ones.

2gb ram doesnt help either

Yes! we agree.
Also, the OP is making us play detective with his information.
What O/S are you using with 2gb?
32bit or X64?

Wait, what do you mean connectors?


Also , you might be worse of with Win32 bit. I know, it might be thought lighter on memory, it really is not. And also, tends to map video memory to what you have of system memory. Making You Worse off.

So hold OFF>

Just solved the problem. I switched the connector which was feeding 4 pin the CPU with the idle one. This Graphic Card is beautiful. Thank you very much for the support

Ok, so they were on the same rail.

Glad you got it fixed.
