7850 vs GtX 560

[DrewChan]

I had the GTX 560 - It ran farcry 3 on high without a hitch, it died after a month and I got a refund - replaced it with the 7850 which is far better in all benchmarks - and farcry 3 lags like a donkey on high. Any ideas?

Have you tested another card? Maybe something got damaged when your last card kicked the bucket?

1. Run Driver Sweeper and remove your nvidia drivers.
2. Download the latest catalyst drivers.

Sounds strange that it should lag. Do Qwiksilver's suggestion.

I don't get any lag in FC3 with my 7850 on high. Performs just as it should. So yea.....drive sweep that mofo.

Ok yeah thought it was odd - will try driver sweeper- did load latest drivers but who knows. Also I do have a rather crap cpu - quad core 955be amd. Well not crap... but not great

955be... I guess it could be affecting it but if you were fine on the 560 I don't think that's the culprit. There's really no good reason for it.

lol. We have the same CP. Should be more than fine. Probably driver issue.

I always format if i replace a graphics card. Just me but then i know the card will run smoothly

But if you're to lazy, run driver sweep and clean up all the left overs of your 560
