Okay so I recently built my gaming pc a couple of days ago, and when I installed minecraft and league of legends I'm not getting high frame rates. Minecraft goes up to 110fps than drops. League of legends 88fps. I'm seeing videos with people with lower end gpu than me but getting higher fps.

My gaming build:
Asus M5A97 R2.0
AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE
VTX3D Radeon 7870 Tahiti LE
4GB DDR3 1333mhz

I've read a lot of good reviews with the gpu. What could be wrong ? When I try to record with fraps it doesn't stay at 60fps, even with vsync on ? HELP ?

I was using the build on a 50inch LED 3D TV 1080p

Why do you care? Your monitor can not even display mroe than 60FPS. Recording with fraps impacts performance a hell of a lot as you are constantly writing to your HDD. Now if you had an SSD, that recording would be MUCH better.

I keep my FPS at 60 because going higher causes screen tearing that looks horrible.

it sounds like you are getting great framerates to me. you can't expect to get same results on an older setup. it seems like might have a bottleneck. while the phenom II x4 is a great chip, the motherboard doesn't support PCI E 3.0. Running it in a PCI E 2.0x16 slot is fine, but its slightly slower, and is practically running at PCI 3.0x8. So its a little bit of a bottleneck there. ram at 1333mhz might also be a significant bottleneck.

you are getting very good frames for the system you have as a whole, imo.

Are you using the exact same graphic settings as them? Things such as shadows, anti-aliasing, and anisotropic filtering eat into your framerates significantly.

If you are using the exact same settings, the next thing to check would be your cpu/gpu temps.

I don't even think the 7870 LE can fully saturate PCIe 2.0 x16.
