GTX 770 Core clock and FPS for League of Legends

Hi everyone,

I just purchased EVGA GTX 770. I tested it with 3Dmark basic and found out that the core clock is only around 500 MHz. I searched other people's record and it showed that their gtx 770s are always around 1100Mhz.

I talked to the EVGA technician and he asked me to install EVGA precision. I tried it and found out if I play Guild Wars 2, the core clock showed on EVGA precision would show around 1100MHz.

I have no idea what's going on. I just want to make sure that my newly purchased graphic card is performing as advertised. Also I tried ARAM in League of Legends with everything set to very high, the fps would still drop down to around 30 when in team fight. Had to change the environment and shadow settings to medium in order to keep fps up to 60.

The technician said that the cpu could play an important role. I do have an old cpu: intel Q9450. Is it possible that the low fps was caused my cpu? I guess my question comes down to whether my gtx 770 is performing as it should?

Here's the link to my 3D mark result:

Thank you so much for your time and effort!


Specs:

Intel Q9450
GTX 770
4G Ram
Windows 7 64 bit


Update:

Already cleaned the heat sink and fan. Re-apply the the heat paste. All the drivers are newest before I did any test. Tried geforce experience and nothing is different.
 
Solution
I got the same problem as u , i got gtx 780 but my processor is really bad its 9950 AMD ,
well form what i read its bottleneck problem , cause of the gap between da processor and da video card , also league of legends need better processor than gpu , it depends on ur processor not da gpu ... so im planning to get i7 and see about it

Thats weird, you shouldnt be getting that low fps even with a Q9450 (unless something is wrong and its throttling down due to temperatures). I have an old i3 540 with a 560gtx which can play at 60fps solid (v sync).

Try installing the newest geforce drivers with geforce experience.

Also check the cpu temperature when in a game.

Try installing the latest drivers first, but lik Rob said, sounds like a temperature throttling problem. When was the last time you replaced the thermal paste between your CPU and heatsink? I had a friend who was having a similar issue, they took the heatsink off, wiped off the old paste (or what was left of it) carefully, and applied some new thermal glue and it helped solve that issue for them.

Yes and no. From 3Dmark, it only detects around 500MHz. But from EVGA precision, it can detect aroun 1100 MHz while in game.

I have already installed the latest drivers before I did the 3Dmark test. I just cleaned the heat sink and replace the paste. Tried ARAM (league of legends) again and still with highest settings, the fps would still be around 30-40.

I just cleaned the cpu fan and sink also re-apply the heat paste. In game, the cpu temp is around 50 C.

I tried the geforce experience. Doesn't really matter. The drivers are already latest before I did any test.

May I ask if you have fps 60 in ARAM with highest settings? Thank you

Can someone give me more insight if I just got a bad graphic card or there's something I did wrong? Thank you

I have a GTX 770 and an i7 2600k but I also experience this issue. Not as severely as you but my FPS is a lot lower than it should be. My old graphic card (Radeon hd 7850) ran League with 230 FPS constant while my current one which was suppose to be a vastly superior GPU runs League at 100 and sometimes drops down to 50 or 40 in big team fights. I haven't found a solution but I have been talking to Riot about it and we are running tests. They believe that the 700 nVidia GTX series architecture is too new and League's coding system works in a different way. Hence it's just a #FirstWorldProblem. GPU Too guud League can't use to full potential.

By the way try using a different game as a benchmark other than League.

I know this is old topic , But in case someone is searching for solution for low FPS with league of legends let me tell you that the problem was with RIOT cause they didn't support the 700 generation at that time , Problems are total solved right now . So if you have problem with fps drop with high end PC , First thing you should do if ur video card works fine with other games IS TO CONTACT RIOT , Probably its their problem most time .
