Hi everyone,
So, I've been wondering... I just built a new system. My specs are as follows:
i5-4670K @ 4.3Ghz
MSI Radeon 7990 + Samsung 120Hz monitor
Fractal Design 800W Gold
NZXT Phantom Full Tower
Z87X-UD3H Gigabyte
G.Skill Ripjaw 2x4GB @ 1600Mhz
Samsung 840 250GB SSD
So my main questions are:
1) I think my specs are more than enough. I mainly play games like Left 4 Dead 2, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Aion (from NCSoft), and potentially stuff like Battlefield 4, Crysis 3. But why do I sometimes lag like crazy in games (FPS wise) in games like Starcraft 2 and Aion? Is my CPU bottlenecking my GPU? I understand that when there are 50+ users doing stuff at once would greatly decrease your FPS but not down to like 30s with a 7990?
2) Also, my internet speed is only 6Mbps. Here in Canada, internet kind of sucks. Would you guys be able to tell me if increasing my internet speed would greatly improve my FPS? (Also, I use a wireless adapter on my desktop, not ethernet cable. I can't plug in ethernet port due to spacing issues around my condo)
3) I know in specs wise (according to NCSoft's website), my system would DESTROY Aion's requirements. But the actual performance isn't what it seems like. I used to play with GTX 670 last year and I feel like I haven't upgraded at all (if anything, feel the same or a bit less).
Any insights on how to troubleshoot, and recommend on how to keep my FPS stable, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks guys,
