I updated my motherboard and CPU to the Gigabyte 990FX UD-3 and FX 8350. I didn’t reinstall Windows after the change, which some people thought was risky. Performance dropped significantly, especially with games like GW2 that rely heavily on CPU power. Previously, I could run GW2 at near maximum settings with GemFX and maintain around 45+ frames per second. Now I barely reach 12 FPS without overclocking. I suspect driver conflicts between the old hardware and new components might be the cause. I’m curious if sysprep can resolve these issues and whether it’s safe to use. You mentioned differences in behavior between Windows 10 and older versions since GUI tools are now used instead of command prompts. Have others tried sysprep on Windows 10? Should I be concerned about data loss or should I back up first? Also, are there any risks or warnings about using sysprep that I should know about? Thanks!

Ignore this. Check other forum discussions—this graphics card seems to have problems with the PCI slots. Swapped in my 970 and it works fine now.
