hey,
I have been suffering lower than usual FPS ever since i built my first build back in 2010. My specs back then were
QLeadtek GTX 550TI
Intel-Core i5-3470
Asus b75-D3V
Fsp Aurum 700W GOLD
800Mhz kingston RAM 4Gb
At that time i was having horrible FPS issues with games like Skyrim, BF3, Far Cry 2 and Far Cry 3. At the time of playing the games my GPU always hung on %80 - %90 most of the time and my CPU would usually hang around the same sort of mark depending on the game. After a while i pulled my PC apart and accidentally broke a CPU ping in the socket. I went out and bought a Asus P8Z77-m motherboard and i noticed a significant, but not major fps increase still not reaching the standard FPS that the GTX 550 TI should of reached as seen on various YouTube videos of people playing the games i played.
After selling the house I bought an Asus GTX 680 DirectCU II Top and decided also to see if overclocking my CPU to 4.0GHz being a non-k cpu. That is when i realised my motherboard only supported 1333MHz RAM and up and it had automatically overclocked the RAM to that speed. Now I have the same case of my GPU hanging around %80 and my CPU hanging around 60-90% even though my FPS is still dropping below 60 in all maps of BF3 (even with 0 players) crysis 2 also still dips below 60 without maxing out my CPU and GPU and so does Far Cry 3.
Could my slow RAM be my issue?
