What's wrong with my system?

zildjosh97 · Dec 17, 2013

I recently bought an HD7770 for my recently built computer.
Intel i3-3240
PowerColor HD7770 GHz Edition
4gb RAM
500gb WD Blue

My monitor is 1024x768 which is very low, but how come I still don't get high fps in some games. What should I do? Would buying another 4gb ram for dual channel help increase fps? And can I overclock this card? I need a cheap solution for this. (No buying of new cpu or gpu.)

what games? what operating system? 1024x768.......... nothing should play bad................. what kind of frames are we talking about?...... and are you having any other problems?

I'm playing GTA IV high settings about 28-30 fps. Windows 8.1 64-bit. I'm starting to think that GTA is badly optimized because I tested far cry 3 ultra settings today and got about 55-60 fps.

i would never buy a dual core processor if i intended to play games. did you read the system requirements for any of those games?.............and it's a little late in the game to play the "badly optimized" stuff anymore. most problems occur by over looked software adjustments to improper hardware to get the job done.

GTA 4 Is very badly optimised, I run a i7 3770k with a 780ti and I still sometimes getting issues with that game, Its not just you my friend

GTA IV Recommended Requirements:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz, AMD Phenom X3 2.1Ghz
Memory: 2GB (Windows XP) 2.5GB (Windows Vista)
Free Hard Drive Space: 18GB
Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870

My processor is 3.4Ghz dual core. Passed.
Memory: 4GB. Passed.
Free Hard Drive Space: Of course. Passed.
Video Card: Searched in Google, says 7770 is better than 3870.

Thanks. I get high fps in ultra settings with AA on 8x with my current resolution. How big would the difference in fps be if I changed to a 1366x768 monitor?

Willdobbo · Dec 17, 2013

I don't believe the increase in resolution would lose you a lot of fps, maybe 2-3 fps. However you will find that 1366x768 will look a lot better than 1024x768

you'd get less................ are there options to play that game in DX9? and have you tried disabling tress effects/tessellation/ in any of those game?

zildjosh97 · Dec 17, 2013

I'm going to switch to a different monitor just saving up for the money. Thanks guys. I tried Skyrim awhile ago at max settings and i get about 60-65 fps outside.

Also my other question, would it be helpful if I overclock it? I never overclocked before.
