I recently got a Gigabyte 7950 and I must say that the performance is not what I expected. I suspect that this has something to do with my CPU.
Specs:
AMD FX-6300 3.5ghz
MSI 970A-G43
Gigabyte 7950 3gb version
8gb of 1600mhz corsair ram
120gb SSD
1tb Seagate Barracuda.
Thermaltake 750W PSU.
What I am experiencing which I find odd and may help you get a better clue of what is going on:
I will be running battlefield. Most settings are low with the occasional medium and high. FPS will go anywhere from 100 to an average of 60-70 and then crash into 40 in particular maps. GPU usage according to MSI Afterburner shows that the GPU is utilizing little of the memory but the core clock and memory clock are as one would expect.
However the CPU will be hitting about 70%-80% all the time and memory about 4gb.
Any suggestions on how to stabilize my fps because these drops are freakishly annoying and to be honest I was expecting better performance from the card.
