Hi Guys I just got my GTX 970 and for some reasons something isn't right. I had an AMD 7950 before and it played better that my problem now

What setting should I have on?

I know I used to run a worse PC on High+No shadows and got acceptable frames. But I'm not sure this is the best place to ask any more.

How is it dying? Do you have stutters (sudden drops to 0-5 fps) or constantly low FPS? I know this is a very generic tips but, have you tried updating your GPU driver? (since you said you just changed it)

Your PCIe bus is running at 1x instead of 16x. You are limiting your card to a max of 500MB/S bandwidth when you could be running at 8GB/S.Make sure that the card is in the first full sized slot and that nothing is installed in the 2nd full slot. You might have to check your BIOS settings to disable some of the other slots to be able to get a full 16x. That 970 should laugh at anything you throw at it on Ultra. See you on the planetside.
