My computer’s performance isn't meeting my expectations; I previously used the same configuration with a different graphics card—a GTX 980 G1 Gaming, which consistently delivered frame rates exceeding 300+. The issue may be related to my power supply unit: http://www.deepcool.com/product/powersup...3624.shtml. Here’s a user benchmark result: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/14749851

Did you perform a clean installation of your graphics drivers after upgrading your GPU, specifically utilizing Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to remove the previous driver files?

The PSU should not negatively impact your performance; the system will automatically turn off when the power threshold is surpassed. If you’ve recently added the graphics card, performing a DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) is recommended. However, if this doesn't resolve the problem, a fresh Windows installation might be necessary—this can occur frequently after changing a GPU.

I am unfamiliar with the term DDU. I obtained my drivers via: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

To properly install updated graphics drivers after replacing a card, utilize a tool called DDU. This utility thoroughly removes the previous drivers in Safe Mode before restarting your computer and installing the new drivers. Simply updating drivers between different GPUs can lead to problems if not done this way.

Nvidia Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a no-cost program designed to fully remove all graphics drivers from your computer. Often, outdated drivers can create conflicts with newer hardware, leading to problems similar to what you're experiencing. Following a DDU scan, it’s recommended to install the most recent Nvidia driver.

I comprehend that, however, upon purchasing the updated graphics card, I promptly formatted my computer, resulting in driver installations exclusively sourced from the new GPU.

Is it connected to the PCIe x16 slot, or perhaps the x8 slot? There could be an issue with your graphics card itself—either a hardware problem or a potential motherboard concern. I’m leaning towards the new graphics card being the cause if it isn't performing as well as your older cards, given that your computer is capable of handling that GPU.

I installed it in the same location as the prior graphics card—therefore, I’m unsure whether it’s an x16 or x8 connection. Would someone knowledgeable check for any issues remotely using TeamViewer or a similar tool? That would be appreciated.

Individuals originating from India would readily accomplish that—laughter. You might consult an expert, and they could potentially assist you for a significant sum. The highest connection is typically PCIe 16x. Please open hwmonitor, another complimentary application, and provide us with images while it’s running. Alternatively, you can share screenshots generated by CPU-Z.
