Let me first start off with my computer specs. I7-2600k 3.4Ghz---Proccessor
8Gb---Ram
Nvidia GTX 580 1.5Gb SuperClocked---Video Card
Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3---Motherboard
40Gb SSD---OS Drive
2Tb 5400 rpm---Data Hard Drive
800 Watt---Power Supply Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit--- Operating System
A couple days ago I realized that my solid state was almost full. I had meant to just put the os on the ssd, but I forgot to change the directories of some programs and it got full. I decided to reinstall windows and just start from scratch. After reinstalling, putting the drivers back in, and redownloading Minecraft I was ready to play. I started up a new world to be greeted by 20 fps. I went ahead and made a house and set my self up to just make sure it wasn't new world lag. After about 30 minutes of playing I was at a steady 28-30 fps. That is with normal view distance, smooth lighting off, and fast graphics. I can usually play Minecraft at 200 fps with far view, and the above options. I went into steam and started up a couple of games, one of which being Payday the Heist. As soon as I started playing, the screen felt just as laggy as Minecraft. I have no idea what the problem is. I have gone into device manager and checked to see if there were any yellow splotches, and there were none. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated!
I can think of a couple of things that could be going on and should be ruled out.
1) You haven't got the same drivers as before. Drivers should always be updated from the original manufacturer if possible. That appears to be nvidia.com in your case.
2) You have switchable graphics that aren't switching to the nvidia so you are actually using an integrated intel.
3) Your PC installation is still 'breaking in'. One of things that windows does when it get's installed is perform a complete indexing of your hard disk to support 'quick' search. While it's doing this your computer is going to run like a real dog..... I think you can pause this but am not sure how. There might be other similar 'baselining' things going on as well (like a complete virus scan, etc).
Sorry for the late reply, I have had a heck of a weekend. Thank you both so much for your replies! I just realized the problem! I had one of my monitors hooked up to the onboard video, and the other monitor was hooked up the video card! I just plugged them both into the video card and disabled the onboard graphics and, I was back to 200+ FPS! Thank you both again for your replies!
