2.8 ghz processor bottlenecking GTX 750 TI?

So i recently upgraded graphics cards from the gtx 560 TI to the gtx 750 TI. I play mainly warcraft and wildstar, and i saw a decrease in performance in both of these after the switch. A friend said that the cause could be the Intel I5 2300 2.8 ghz is bottlenecking the the new card. A guildy said the cause might be the 8GB of ram, which i was doubtful about. I am just looking for an outside opinion for the cause. Thanks in advance.

 

did you take a look at the temps of the card and if it would bottleneck the card i dont think it would be slower then your old card was. did you try reinstalling the drivers?
and could you post your whole system?

I highly doubt any Sandy Bridge i5 would bottleneck a mid-range GPU. Exactly how much of a performance decrease did you see?

Edit: Honestly, that GPU isn't much of an upgrade. It's 10% faster at best, most of the time it would be about the same or even slower. It wouldn't surprise me if you saw a decrease in those games because that GPU just doesn't run them as fast as your old one.

put old card back in

That processor is fine, 8GB of RAM is fine. It'll be some other problem

750 ti is a low power card , the 560 ti is an actual gaming card .

That was more of a downgrade than anything.

Put old card back in, return new one or sell it.

or maybe return and get a 760 or somethin :D

Yes you got a card that is about the same performance. If you want a boost go 760 or higher. Don't know how you feed about rebates. Or AMD cards. But you can spend just a bit more and get a R9 270 for cheap and get a little bump up.
