Hello,
I have just built a new gaming rig.
Specs :
Fresh install of windows 7 Ultimate
AMD CCC versoin-13.8 BETA previously tried the stable build of 13.4 but same results.
AMD FX-8350 running at stock 4.0GHz
XFX HD RADEON 7970 DD 3GB
16 GB (2x8GB) 1600MHz Corsair Dominator
Asrock 990fx Extreme3 Motherboard
OCZ ZX-850W Gold Plus PSU
Overclocking: None -Bios @ stock
HP 210i 21.4 inch monitor - resolution 1920x1080
The problem I seem to be having is that I find the performance is low for such a high end card. When I run minecraft I average around 90-130 FPS where as my friend with a GTX 650TI 2GB gets 200+ FPS easily.
I ran Warframe Online TPS with Fraps and I average around 70-90 FPS when maxed with V-sync disabled. My friend with the GTX 650TI 2GB averages 120+.
Then I benched marked my spec with the free demo of 3DMark 11 and my rig did 'ok' with the first two test except the for very last one, which there I had around 5-10 FPS.
Is this normal for such a high GPU ? I expected alot more for the money I had paid for this card.
Thanks
