Hi,
The specs are as follows:
CPU - 2600K i7 OC to 4.2ghz
GPU - GTX 780 AMP
Motherboard - Asrock Z68 Extreme7 Gen 3
RAM - 16GB G.Skill ripjaws
PSU - Corsair 1200w
We've had issues with this computer for as long as we can remember. We seem to have poor performance when gaming (Hitting 20 fps on world of Warcraft on fair settings) when in raids. I'm aware that World of Warcraft is more CPU than GPU but we feel we should be getting better performance that we're getting at the moment. When running world of Warcraft we would turn SLI off to gain slightly better performance.
We replaced the GTX 690 as we assumed that it was faulty and purchased a GTX 780 AMP edition, hoping it would fix our problems. From running some tests in raids, I've noticed that I seem to get around the same FPS regardless of my settings. I can get 15 fps on ultra with shadows and SSAO maxed and 20 FPS on fair with shadows on low and SSAO off. We would expect our system to be able to run world of Warcraft with no issues on ultra at a respectable FPS.
We've ran multiple stress tests on both the GPU and CPU and although scores seemed up to standard of other systems, we just fail to see the performance our system should be giving.
Our next plan was to replace the motherboard or CPU but we're not convinced it will fix our issues.
Thanks
