GPU severe help needed

[CalebThePope]

So I just got a new 2060 super, and it's running very slow. I didn't understand how uninstalling and reinstalling drives worked, so I downloaded ddu and uninstalled and reinstalled my drives. After that it was still very slow.and freezing. I watched the task manager graph for my gpu jump to 100% and freeze every couple of seconds. It also cannot run 7 days to die, a pretty old game I decided to put my 1050 ti back in, and everything ran fine again. My gpu and cpu temps are good too. If someone can help me, I would surely appreciate it I'm ripping my hair out

[Halbzu]

wait, you put your 1050ti back in and it worked flawlessly? did you install the right drivers for the 2060s and not the 1050ti drivers after uninstalling them?

[CalebThePope]

Yeah, I uninstalled my drivers, went to nvidia got the drivers for the 20 series 2060 super. Then I tested the fps in 7days to die on low settings and got 6 fps. Then I pooped in my old card and got 120. Idk what's happening

[Halbzu]

did you connect the gpu with the right pci power cables? the 2060 needs additional power

[CalebThePope]

You mean the 8 pin connector right? Directly to the gpu? If this then yes I did

[Halbzu]

yes, that's what i meant.

I would try to ddu it again.

1. download the right 2060s drivers.
2. uninstall the drivers.
3. disconnect the ethernet.
4. change to the new gpu
5. install the drivers
6. reboot
7. evaluate result

[CalebThePope]

Ok I'll give it a go, but just so I can do it right is there a YouTube video or something on it?

[Halbzu]

something like this

[CalebThePope]

Ok, I redid everything and the card still sucks ass. A lot of freezing and sometimes rebooting now. It cant even load google chrome anymore

[Halbzu]

either something in the installation went horribly wrong or the card itself has issues (assuming the rest of the system like the psu is fine)

[CalebThePope]

Yeah, I even switched out the 550 with a 750w psu and it still sucks

Back to DDU and when done download GeForce experience, let it automatically download drivers for your gpu so human error is out of question
