Hardware & Technical Poor FPS with new card

I also turned off almost all extras, though I found the most noticeable difference after turning off vsync.

I confess I haven't looked at FPS, simply because the only means I have is running Frapps and I don't want any more running than is necessary.

I get a little stuttering still, but nothing too annoying.

I tried out my old screen with vsync at 60Hz over HDMI to try and replicate your issue and I have to say it wasn't great in places. Sorta similar to what you've been seeing and I've got a Titan Z in there. Often dropped to 20-40fps.

With vsync off, in the menus it'll show 500fps. In game, it'll rarely get to 120, but never drops below 70. The 120Hz screen has no issues at all with vsync on over HDMI. Blips every so often, but consistent 120fps regardless.
 
Got to the first 45 secs of that video and switched of. When I want to listen to a comedian I'll tune into the political channel. That guy is full of it.

Anyway. Downloaded and installed the full package of the latest NVIDIA drivers.

Sadly, though it says it will optimise Elite, it hasn't yet.

In use the latest drivers give me a lot of stalling.

I usually on;y install the driver and leave the rest unchecked. I'll install this latest and redo with just the driver itself. If they include Elite later, I may try again, but my own experience so far is, bloatware with fancy names.
 
Can you check your FPS inside the station on the Docking Tutorial?

I get significantly more fps on the tutorials, this might help us see where the issue is...

Just run the docking tutorial and I get 70-80fps sat in the station.

I've had an improvement which I'd normally be happy with but still, I'm not getting close to the 150fps the guy above gets ^^

After changes in the bios I'm now getting 40-50fps in big stations, 60-80fps in open space and 70-100fps in some outposts.

a definite improvement but not close to the 150-180.

Hi S.H.A.D.O., I think that the guy with 150 FPS from their 770 maybe overclocking quite a bit. I get similar numbers from my new 970. Your numbers seem about right to be honest, substantially better than my old 660.

I'm not sure that those fps on a 970 are ideal. I'm getting 90fps in the docking tutorial station, and this is on a GTX780. I have a i5 2500k which has roughly the same capability as S.H.A.D.O's CPU.

This was at 1080p with everything on Max.

I'd be interested to see what fps you get in the docking tutorial Dr Wookie if you get a chance. Just from the initial landing pad no need to fly around...

Ohhh, TUTORIAL, sorry don't mind me, it was late when I read the thread. I was talking about my online numbers

Edit: my tutorial FPS seem to be about the same... I wonder if there's something off? Then again, I thought the main advance for the 970 over the 780 was low power consumption (which is what I need for my teeny tiny PC). Plus the 780 is rather more powerful than the OPs 770, isn't it?

I just knew it, useless bloatware.

That's why I use FRAPS instead of ShadowPlay, the latter doesn't come standalone, only bundled with the bloatware component. :(

I just read this and removed the GeForce experience. Didn't see any difference in performance at all. Maybe it clogs up older systems? I don't know, it was installed when I got my PC, and didn't compare with and without for my 660.

Shadowplay seems to do at least as good a job as fraps, if not better, gives smaller files, so I will probably reinstall it when it comes to making new videos

Sadly, you cannot simply remove it. NVIDIA have decided we will eventually change our mind and left it in there

Make sure the driver package is on your HD.

Run this: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/

It will ask you if you want to upgrade are you sure?. Say no and yes.

It will restart in Safe Mode. Remember to click the box to include uninstalling folders.

If you think you may have some old AMD drivers run it a second time.

When you restart you will have M$ generic driver. Find yours and run.

Choose Custom Install.

Remove ticks from GEForce Experience and PhysX. Load the rest.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I totally misread...I thought the OP had purchased a 970!! It all makes sense now, and yes it seems his numbers are okay in that case...
 
Sorry guys

not sure here at all off course , but your micro board is the weakest link here.
I have with a Evga-GTX760-4gig and much higher Fps than you.
atleast 50 inside a station.
okay the 4770k helps allot here.
try your card in someone else his computer.
that would give you a sure answer.
