Hey, guys! So, I just got done with my new build. The final piece of the puzzle was going to be my GTX 780. Here's my build as it is today.
Motherboard: Asus Z87-Sabertooth
Processor: Intel i7 4770k
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Tactical 8GB
PSU: Corsair CX750
Video Card: Asus GTX 780 OC with Direct CU II
The first thing I did after installing my video card was check my performance in Battlefield. I was surprised to see my usual FPS was around 55FPS dipping, at times, down to the high 20s' with lots of business happening on screen. Today I found this thread... http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1882691/battlefield-gtx780-performance-24fps.html... that details almost the exact issues I'm having with this game. I had already followed the trouble shooting steps detailed in the discussion. I unparked my CPU, disabled hyperthreading and tinkered with overclocking my GPU. None of these worked and now I find myself in the same boat as the OP of that thread. As he continued trouble shooting with no results people started saying it's likely he received a faulty GPU. Which has me thinking about the performance in other games. Guild Wars 2 has me at 20 FPS in populated cities. Arkham City dips to 50 on a regular basis (I find this odd since it's a 2 year old game. Is PhysX really that poorly optimized?) Assassin's Creed IV has me at a mix of High and Medium with AA and AO turned off to get a solid 60FPS. So, I'm just wondering if this is irregular performance for these games or did I just have overly high expectations? Ghosts is able to run 60FPS on max but that seems to be about the only game released this year that does.
Is there any tips people can forward beyond the steps I've already taken? Do you guys think my graphics card is shit or are these numbers normal? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
