    New graphic card

    Hello Guys,
    I bought yesterday a new graphic card. My old graphic card is
    Palit NE5X75TT1341F GeForce GTX 750Ti StormX Dual.
    Now I have a new graphic card:
    Asus Radeon R9290 DirectCU II OC 4GB.
    As I opened this, I just thought: OMG! What a monster! Maybe it's too big for my PC.
    Luckly it wasn't too big for my PC. The (power) cable for the graphic card was too short. I had a longer cable.
    After staring my PC, I installed the drivers from the disk. Then I updated all drivers.
    I have just tested some games like CoD Ghosts and GTA V. And it's still laggy like my old graphic card.
    I know that this graphic card has much more performance than my old one.
    AMD has a Catalyst Control Center (CCC). There I can perform my graphic card. But I am not sure how to do this correctly.

    So, can maybe someone help me to improve my graphic card performance?

    Thank you.

    Are you sure you're using your card and not your integrated gpu?

    Also: what cpu do you have?
    "Does not work" is an error report for a bug between keyboard and chair.

    I am sure that I am using my card and not my integrated.

    My CPU is: AMD FX 8350

    Can you post a screenshot of the graphics settings in the games that are laggy?

    Edit: have you rebooted your PC since you updated the drivers?
    Edit 2: Which drivers are you using? From Asus or AMD?

    GTA V laggs for me 3-4%, because I am play with Very High graphic settings.

    If I play Ghosts with Very High graphic settings, then it laggs more than 20%. And the graphic still looks shit.

    Edit: I played Black Ops II (with my old graphic card) with medium settings. I had around 160 FPS. With my new graphic card (all graphic settings to Extra) now around 200 FPS. That's a big change.

    The GTX 750 is actually the poorest card in the 700 range:

    http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gp...rce+GTX+750+Ti

    If you look at those benchmarks, you will see that a GTX 680 does better, with the 750 10th in a list of 10 cards. It's a great value card for a reason! Nobody buys it because it isn't very good.

    I suggest that you lower your resolution in both games to 720p, and turn off shadows (that is a killer for any graphics card - including a GTX Titan). Try it from there. If it is still laggy, try turning the textures down to medium.

    Yea, but my new graphic card is a R9 290. The graphic of GTA V is fantastic with only 3-4% laggs. But I don't understand why Ghosts has a bad graphic and laggs.

    Ghosts is a notoriously bad console port. It is not optimised at all well for PC. The forums have been awash with people complaining about it. I have 2 x GTX 980s and I still can't have shadows on and extra textures. It lags too much. It is all right for single player, but not for multiplayer. So, do what I suggested - turn off shadows and run in 720p.
