When I first got my card it worked great ran BF3 on ultra at 45fps, Black Flag on ultra at 40 and Payday 2 at 60fps ultra. When I turned off my computer to go to bed I woke up and all my games run poorly. The games ran the same as when I used my integrated chip. This is what I need help with. I've uninstalled the integrated chip drivers, monitor is plugged into card not motherboard, I set it to PCIE in the BIOS. Any help would be awesome

Specs:
CPU: A10 5800k with 7660d Integrated
Graphics card: XFX R7 260x 2GB GDDR5
Motherboard: ASUS F2A85V Pro
PSU: TR2 Thermaltake 700w

The integrated GPU is only used when the video cable is plugged into the motherboard. So unless you have the cable from your monitor going into your motherboard instead of the GPU, integrated graphics is disabled.

Hmm. Then what's with the low frame rates?

Could be a number of things.

Defrag your HDD/SSD.
Disable any programs running in the background. (Skype, Chrome, ect)
Restart your PC.
Re-Install drivers.


These things may not help, but if all else fails, lower your in game detail settings.

Well see yesterday the same thing happened so I took out my video card. Uninstalled the drivers for it. Put it back in reinstalled. And everything ran good. So reinstalling drivers works but I dont want to have to do that every single day when I wake up. Ill try the defragging.
