I swear I'm becoming a regular here...
Anyway, I have a gtx 760 currently, but I've noticed that its not performing well. I can't even handle garrys mod very well, and while I do have alot of mods for it I've seen other people with a similar amount with much older cards that can run it solid 60 and above no problem. Ontop of this it can't handle ANY overclocking as my games will crash or bug out even with the voltage turned up. I just want it to perform better to tide me over until I get my upgrade and I'm not really sure how to go about this and I don't even know what the problem could be, so help?
Edit: (Another quick thing I wanted to add on was people say that the Nvidia beta drivers perform better in some cases, but the latest beta driver for the 760 was from July last year or something,is it a bad idea to get it?)
Editedit: Also, its not just Garrys mod, its for all games, it just has generally sub-par peformance and I feel like its not just performing aswell as it could,sure seems like it anyway.
I've always had problems in GMod with FPS, it just never works properly for me regardless of my rig. I have a main rig with SLi 980ti's and a guest rig with a single 680 and both with 4790ks and it just struggles. No idea why,
[QUOTE=skatehawk11;48868833]I have a 760 and I can play Garry's Mod over 200 FPS. I can also play some demanding games too, so I know it is not the card in general. This seems like a hardware issue, what are your temps and are all your settings to the stock ones?[/QUOTE]
If you mean overclock settings then no they are not stock, Nvidia control panel settings are a definite no
As for temps, I'm not sure. However there isn't hardly any thermal paste left behind my cpu as its dried somehow and I don't have more to replace it.
[QUOTE=skatehawk11;48868929]Use some software and check your GPU temps.[/QUOTE]
In-game or regular?
Would also help to know the branding of the 760 to check if it's a known issue with a known fix.

Idle is 46 C

Branding?
[QUOTE=skatehawk11;48868987]What manufacturer made it for example mine is EVGA.[/QUOTE]
I believe it is EVGA.

Anymore help?
I had a similar problem with my 980 Ti performing barely better than my old 670 because it wasn't in the upper-most slot closest to the CPU on my motherboard, but instead the middle PCI-E X16 slot. The way the motherboard was laid out meant that it was running in PCI-E 1.1/2.0 apparently and not 3.0 and it made the difference of almost 4x the framerate when switching it into the proper upper-most slot.

Okay..I can check I guess.
What processor do you have?
I'm going to assume you have the latest drivers installed. To me, this sounds like a power issue. If you're sure the PSU can handle the card then CHECK the connections on the card itself.
With my old GTX 570 I had one of the plugs halfway in the card and the card ran fine until you tried to play games. Then it had shit performance and sometimes crashed.. plugging them in fully fixed it.

Pcie express 3.0 won't give you that much more performance than 2.0 with a single GPU. It's more noticeable if you have sli or crossfire. It'll be at least five years before pcie 3.0 is mandatory.

You could go into your motherboard bios and also check what speed the pcie express slot is running at as well and you might be able to set it higher which may help. Make sure it is set to at least pcie express 2.0. Also make sure that your GPU is seated properly. Also try a clean install of the latest drivers.
Post your full specs list including: CPU, ram, PSU brand and type.

That's what I thought, but I think that there is actually a bandwidth configuration problem with certain motherboards if you don't use the correct slot when running a single GPU. GPU-Z stating it was running in PCI-E X16 2.0/1.1 just pointed me to a possibility that something was definitely wrong (It now says 3.0 with the swap). It is a far fetched claim and unlikely to happen, but for me with a brand new build, it meant me running Witcher 3 at 25FPS on medium versus running it on ultra with 80+FPS when I swapped slots. This wasn't a faulty hardware issue since ASUS confirmed that apparently the motherboard I had does do that.
Basically, just put it in the uppermost slot if OP hasn't already.
