New CPU.

[kramkor]

Hi guys. I recently had an i5, 3.0GHz installed. I was expecting a better framerate than with my old CPU, a G630, 2.7GHz. I was able to run DCS with almost all the settings at High smoothly.

But with the i5 and the same settings the framerate was horrible. And not only while playing DCS, games like Metro 2033 which I used to ran smoothly, now have a bad framerate.

Any idea of what's happening?? Thanks, and sorry, my English is not that good xD.

Most likely the system is trying to run from the i7 IGP

(DCS doesnt have a "Profile" to tell the sytem to use the Discrete GPU, so, it may be using the HDxxxx IGP)

 

or it's Throttling.

I don't know what you mean. And I think I have an integrated GPU. Hmm, I don't know almost anything about computers, and English is not my mother tongue, so could you explain it as if I were a 4 years old child, please?? xD

Which graphics card do you have? AMD or nVidia?

My gprahic card is a GTX 550 ti

search for "how to disable integrated gpu" That should help. If im not mistaken there should be an option in ur BIOS. If not try to uninstal ur IGPU drivers and dont worry about "unknown device" :)

And wouldn't that decrease my GPU performance?? My GPU isn't that good, and I think a IGPU runs faster than a non-integrated.

The Intel HD IGP is like 10% of the power of the GTX550Ti
