If I can't fix this shyt with win 7, I might just turn in to a console gamer only :wow:

I've never been this infuriated with technology before. Everything seems to be fukked up.

Now I gotta go get a camera stuck up my dikk at the doctor. Horrible vacation so far. I'm so furious . :uFurious:

Well after further tests, it's not my CPU that is crippling my GPUs, it's something else (I'm seeing framerate drops in Borderlands 2 too, and I'm not anywhere close to 100% CPU usage there). The framerate drops just appear to be at random places (kinda like what @Rice N Beans said).

@Rice N Beans what did you tests conclude? Was Win 8 the problem? If so, I think you were on to something.

Edit: I think it's a DX9 problem. Games using DX11 run fine.

Edit 2: Yes, I'm gonna stop whipping myself and go back to Win 7 this weekend. I've had it up to here with Win 8 problems. :stopitslime:

I haven't tested yet. Been moving my files around arranging my hard drives. Good to see I am not the only one with that problem though. Something in Windows 8. Maybe it can be disabled. I'll Google when I have the chance and see what I can find.

Nah, but I'll sell the cards for cheap if I do end up selling everything off (which might be a strong possibility if I can't get this stuff to work in the next week or so).

I'll just become a peasant and get an xbox 1 to go with my ps4 and wii u.

:lupe:

Single monitor gaming though :huhldup:

Nah, I'm a PC gamer to the core, it's true. But I can definitely see why people are console gamers only. This shyt would piss off the most patient individual. At least with consoles, you just plug it in and play and it works. I've been jumping through hoops for like a month now. At some point you gotta look at yourself and be like, what the fukk am I doing?

Fortunately I like tinkering around with shyt, but this is becoming a bit absurd. I literally have no idea what the fukk is wrong with my shyt right now. I don't have unusual bottlenecks, but games that should be 60fps at ultra, like borderlands 2 and skyrim, are dropping in frames for no fukking reason (the gpu utilization goes down but the cpu utilization doesn't go up). I'm completely lost.

This better just be a fukking windows 8.1 issue. If not, I dunno what the fukk I'm gonna do. I have no idea how to fix this shyt. I'm :mindblown:

PC gaming is doing me dirty :wow:
