Hey all! I'm getting a "new" to me GPU, to replace my troubled GTX 1080 which was also used as I just can't afford a brand new GPU right now. My 1080 has been acting really weird and I'm not sure if it's the newer Nvidia drivers or just the age of the card or the fact I purchased it used. Whatever it may be, the card is acting up and has been for the last few months. MW2 (2022) used to run great at Native 1080p Medium/High settings and now I can barley hit 60fps in Multiplayer. Warzone I get 32 to 42-ish FPS with AMD FSR 2.1 set to Ultra Performance and resolution scale down to 75%; which makes the game look absolutely terrible. While running it in Native 1080p MINIMUM settings I get around 20 to 30 FPS on my GTX 1080.
I've stressed it with other games and those are also underperforming, I tried using an older driver and it helped by MAYBE 2%. I've cleaned the card, tried old drivers and even overclocked it and nothing has done the trick to get the performance I had with it about 5 months ago.
My CPU also might be the problem but I've also stressed tested that with multiple programs and even used the Intel Processor Diagnostics Tool which tests everything on the CPU and maxes it out at 100% per test.
The test section I was looking at the most was the clock speed to see if the CPU might have been thermal throttling or maybe not clocking at the right speeds, according to the results this wasn't an issue either.
Below are the results of the clock speed (Frequency) that the CPU is expected to run at and what it actually ran at.
so with all that being said, I'm switching to an RX 580 8GB. I have had an RX 580 before I "upgraded" to the GTX 1080 and I've never had any issues with them before, plus from my understanding they take better advantage of AMD FSR.
My question is, do I use DDU and/or is it enough or should I just re-install windows on my m.2?
