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.
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.
