So I built my computer in July, it the very first one I built (its AMD based). Any first off here are my specs. ( Also sorry if this is not in the right section of the forums I wasn't sure where this would fall)
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970
CPU: AMD FX- 6350 (with Hyper 212 Evo cooling)
RAM: 16 GB 2000 MHz DDR3 Ripjaw memory
SSD: Samsung 218 GB SSD
HDD: 1 TB x 3 WD Blue HDD
PS : Corsair 750x
MoBo: 990 FXA UD3
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit Pro Preview
Anyway, so I built my computer and I was not playing any games that were not graphically intense such as Combat Arms, Maplestory, and Team Fortress 2 and I was getting to the FPS cap or in Combat Arms (no frame rate cap in this game) around 190-500 FPS, (also i played in max settings on all those 3 games). However then I started to play Planetside 2 and Arma 2 (DayZ), and I was only getting 10-20 FPS at very low settings. Then I see videos of people using a Radeon 7870, or some other card that is not as good as mine, getting 50-70 FPS. I have Directx 11, my drivers are up to date, and I think i have all necessary software. Do I need DirectX 11.2 since I am in the Evaluation copy of Windows 8.1, does it have something to do with my CPU, or is it something else? (My GPU is running at 47 Celcius
