Chrome and Steam can become slower after installing a new GPU.
Chrome and Steam can become slower after installing a new GPU.
Hey guys, I recently purchased a new GPU (Galax 1650 EX). I've noticed that launching Steam takes longer now and it's really tough to manage Chrome tabs while downloading big files. The system is still running smoothly and the game performance is normal, but Steam and Chrome are noticeably slower with this new GPU. I tried uninstalling GeForce Experience in other threads, but it didn't help. Here are my specs:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with Radeon Graphics
Memory: 1TB SSD (337 GB free)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
Operating System: Windows 10
RAM: 16 GB
Welcome to the forums, newcomer! Could you share which GPU you were using before the GTX1650 EX by Galax? Did you run DDU to clear all GPU drivers before installing the latest driver from Nvidia’s support site? Were you prompted to install it with administrative privileges via the installer? Also, could you mention the make and model of your PSU and its age?
I was using the built-in graphics card that comes with the processor, and I understand this might seem strange, but do I need to delete the previous drivers from the integrated card? They remain because I assumed they wouldn’t cause issues and would stay in the background. My PSU is a XPG Pylon 650w, which I purchased ten months ago.
