If you've got some spare cash and want the system faster then you could pay for fast track, that way you won't have to put up with your current PC for as long

Hmm that's some serious problems you got... My PCS build just passed 3 years and its running sweet as ever, PSU is getting a bit noisy though but meh I went for a cheap one so its my own fault...

Having had my new PC for about a week, setting it up and trying it out i like how lightning fast it is and is 100x better than my other PC, but i still fell there's a problem not with the PC itself but my GTX 690, i'm still getting such low FPS across all my games, that my games have a hard time even playing at the lowest video setting at 1920x1080,

Example of one of my games, Metro:Last Light on the lowest video setting i'm getting around 6 - 22 FPS yet i looked at youtube of Metro:Last Light being played on a GTX 690 at maxed out video setting and i'm seeing it around 60 - 90 FPS,
I don't know what the problem would be, All my drivers are up to date

If i enable both GPU's on the 690 i still get the same FPS but with the screen flickering red, i don't know if this sounds like a serious problem with the 690 or if it time to get a new card but i bought it brand new about a year ago and yet my GTX 295 still works fine after 4+ years but don't want go back to it seeing its an old outdated card,
Having both GPU's on has had my screen flickering red in games since i first got the 690, their no red flickering on just one GPU when multi-GPU is disabled.

 

[mantadog]

If its been happening since you got the card then it may be a faulty card. Would it still be under warranty?

 

[robin h 25]

My GTX 690 showed it came with a 3 year warranty when i bought it, but got it from ebay new unopened and sealed.

 

[mantadog]

Did you register the product with Nvidia? Was the warranty provided by the seller, some businesses on ebay do provide warranties.

 

[robin h 25]

The seller had it up as it come's with a 3 year manufacturer warranty, The card is from ASUS and i've registered it with them, Would i need to register on Nvidia too?
