Is this supposed to happen. I deleted the driver last via uninstall and restarted PC. Thenin your post 'windows will install a display adaptor, that is OK'. I just checked the uninstall and the Nvidia Graphics driver 327.23 and Nvidia Steroscopic 3d driver has been installed before I even get to a clean install.



Let us know how the clean install goes.

Turn updates off in Windows Updates and try again. It could be that there's two drivers overlapping which will cause problems.

Did you delete all of the folders in the Display Driver folder? There's got to be drivers still there somewhere if Windows is installing them.

If they were there I couldn't' find them, but I have done a clean install on 327 (latest driver) and the image below is now what I get Untitled1.jpg

Never have I felt so frustrated aaarrrggghhhh

did all that and the GPU usage is still running at 99. Is the GPU part of the graphics card. if so would it be worh buying a new one,if so what would you suggest up to the £150 mark, hopefully though I can get this sorted.

Your help is appreciated

The GPU is the graphics card (Graphics Processing Unit). Don't give up just yet, I'll do some more thinking. Did you get GeForce Experience?

Might be worth trying a System Restore point to before the problems started,if one is available.

I'm still pretty convinced that the 560 isn't really up to the job for those settings.

I did have geforce experience and that set the graphics to bf3 as you saw them il try that again. Could it be to do with the nvidia control panel and settings

What graphics card would you recommend. Boozad just realised your from Wolverhampton, not far from me at all.

I have cleaned the pc which was clean anyway.....

I have also checked MSI afterburner when running other program, such as Photoshop and Cinema 4d (3d modelling and rendering package) and the GPU usage is between 0 and 10 tried Black Ops 2 and Warfighter and again the GPU usage went to 99% im now starting to think your right and the 560 TI isn't good enough so which Nvidia Card should I purchase to run BF3, BF4 BO2 etc
