Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1090T 3,2GHz
Motherboard: ASRock 870 extreme3 r2.0
Graphics card: XFX Radeon HD7970 Double Dissipation
Memory: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
PSU: OCZ ModXstream Pro 600W
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64x
I just bought a new XFX Radeon HD7970 Double Dissipation to replace my HD6870, and I feel like something is not quite right.
The main game that I play is World of Warcraft and I thought even with my old card I should be able to max all settings and be at 50+ FPS. This wasn't the case, but I wasn't distressed, as I might've had my expectations up too high.
Now that I have the HD7970 I am still having issues running this game at max settings.
I can get 60+ FPS in the open world when I decrease some settings like Shadow Quality, SSAO, Sunshafts, and View distance. It can drop to ~40 FPS in high populated zones.
but especially in 25-man dungeons my FPS takes a dive to 15-25 FPS throughout a whole bossfight. I've tried setting every setting available to the lowest possible, and my FPS will still not go above 40 in 25-mans.
It seems like something is keeping my performance down when things get rough, because my GPU Activity doesn't exceed 50% at the most graphically heavy fights.
I've also noticed FPS drops in other games, for instance Assassin's Creed 3. Doesn't matter what settings I pick, at some points in the game, like in towns, my FPS drops to about ~30.
Temperatures on my Graphics card are around 60 degrees celcius when playing World of Warcraft.
Temperatures on my CPU are around ~55 degrees celcius when gaming.
Could it be my CPU?
I'm at a loss here on what the issue could be.
If you have any suggestions, I could really use the help.
And if you need further info, I'll be happy to provide it.
Thank you!
