Some of my games that I play would stutter and have inconsistent frames. Games like Battlefield 4 and ArmA 3. Gpu usage would sometimes stay at 40-50%.





Spec:

970a G46 motherboard

AMD FX 6300 Vishera (OC 3.76ghz)

8GB Ram

EVGA GTX 760 w/acx

Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Corsair CX 600w PSU

I think 6300 is bottlenecking the 760.
I have the same cpu and gpu as you and I get pretty low frame rates such as 40 in Far Cry 3 no AA and 22 in Crysis 3 jungle level no AA.

This looks like bottleneck, but its not the CPU. If the 6300 bottlenecked the 760, then even the 8350 would bottleneck a 780 or similar card and that just doesn't happen.

If you use a monitor for the CPU to check its load you can check and see. It might be some kind of driver error. Also try overclocking your CPU more or less to see how that changes it. If it changes the performance equal with the CPU clock change then it is the CPU but I will be surprised if it is.

What could the problem be then. I am so annoyed that my new 760 only performs 10 fps better than my old 7750.
I could get an average of 30 fps in crysis 1 all maxed out with 4xAA using 7750 but 760 only gives me 40ish fps at the same setting. Its even more stupid that the 760 is like 4 times the size of my 7750 card, and the fans are twice as big and there are 2 of them but it only performs slightly better. Looks like a beast, costs 3 times as much but only runs like a kitten. Nvidia is a joke.

I'm really not sure what the problem is, but for example that CPU is about the equal of an Intel i3. I had an i3-3225 and an AMD Radeon 7850 which would be just a little slower at stock than the 760, and I have it like way overclocked. In terms of frequencies its 30% faster than its supposed to be. With that setup I maxed out games like Bioshock Infinity.

With a similar CPU and GPU, your should be getting about like I do. I haven't played Far cry 3, but I'm positive if I did I would have the settings maxed. Only games I haven't been able to max in that setup are Tom Raider, but that was when I only had overclocked by about 15% and I still ran it on High settings just not ultra, and Shogun II (most CPU intense game made).

Anyways I hope you can see my point with this, that it just doesn't make sense you would get capped so low. Please both of you try a CPU monitor and report back your CPU usage so we can determine if it is the CPU.
