Frame Rate issue with new graphics card

Ok, thanks Skuzzy.  I'll work on the roll back to Windows 7.

Good luck.

Get rid of thet HDMI NVidia audio driver.  It WILL cause problems.

Anybody else notice those drivers keep reappearing under windows 10's clandestine black magic?

On Windows 10, it may enable it each time it updates the video driver.  There may be no way to stop Windows 10 from doing it, unless you beat the Windows 10 updater to the punch and update the driver using the custom option and do not install the HDMI audio pass-through driver.

Hey Skuzzy!  I was successful in getting W7 loaded today.  W10 wouldn't roll back.  Apparently, there is a 30 day window to roll back to a previous version.  Fortunately, I had an original W7 disk that came with the computer.

I loaded the game and was getting a solid 60+ fps.  There's still some tweaking to do as the rest of the desktop gets loaded.  Thanks for the recommendation to retro to W7.

DXDIAG to follow after the desktop is loaded and drivers are checked.

Glad to hear it is on the way to being sorted out.

The more I read these stories about Win10 the less I'm gonna be willing to ever "update" my machine to it. I know one day it's gonna come to it only because it won't be a choice but they'll have to pry my Win7/64 from my cold dead hands!

Win10 just sounds to me like when my kids were younger and we shared a family PC. Just about every time I sat at the machine something was horked. Some setting had changed. Some program on the fritz. But at the time it was just a 10 year old fiddling with stuff! They didn't know what they did so I'd have to sort it out. THIS is kinda the same thing BY DESIGN! A built in ten year old! Yeah that's a deal breaker. Been there done that!

Yeah, W10 is pretty much a pig with a lot of lipstick from my experience.

Just to be fair, your experience was on older, non-supported hardware.

True.

A couple of issues encountered today while building up the desktop.

1.  IE 8 loaded with the original disk. When trying to upgrade to IE 10, a message pops up sayin it can't be installed on this computer, even though the list of IE versions shows it as a W7 version. Any idea what is causing this?

2.  When trying to load websites on IE 8, the desired website loads up (most of the time) but, when trying to open a link within a particular website, a blank white page appears.  I've never experienced this before. 

I did a windows update check and downloaded the important items.

More of the "I don't know what I don't know" stuff of which I appreciate expert help.

Thanks!

When I install W7, one of the first things is to download Firefox and use it for downloading everything else needed. As you noticed IE8 doesn't work on many websites including the motherboard driver download page, it's too outdated. IE will then upgrade automatically through Windows Update.

Another thing I do immediately after installing W7 or 8 is to uncheck the “Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates” box to avoid the telemetry updates. Single optional updates can be easily installed manually via Windows Update if needed.

Thanks for the suggestions Bizman!  I'll do both of these today.

Works as advertised.  Thanks for the suggestions!

Glad to hear you've got things up and running.
