hey everyone like to say first of all great site always come on her if i need help.

Lets cut to the chase i just recently brought a GTX 660 OC Twin Frozr MSI for $250 for my local shop and i downloaded the driver all up to date and everything but i seem to be getting the same fps as my old peace of crap GT 620 even on the same setting maybe 1 or 2 higher but that is it.

List of games i have tryed:
GT 620:
DayZ (standalone) 20-30 fps everything Ultra
BF3 10-30 fps ultra
and CS: GO 90-100

GTX 660 OC:
DayZ (standalone) 30-35 ultra
BF3 30-40 Ultra
and CS: GO 80-90 Ultra.

I dont know whats wrong
List Of Specs

CPU: AMD A4-5300 3.40 GHZ
RAM: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance
Graphics Card: GTX 660 OC MSI
PSU: 650
HDD: 1TB

I think that is it can anyone help me here i know everyone gonna say buy intel i really dont have the money.

I just thought that something was wrong about it because a $20 card is doing the same thing as a $250 card

And Anyone have a Answer that would be helpfull


Thanks for the help

Sounds like it's bottlenecking due to the CPU mate.

Your APU is causing a bottleneck, you have to get a higher cpu if you really want to see better performance.

It seems that your processor may be bottlenecking your lovely shiney new GFX. You didn't say what resolution you are running these 'ultra' settings at. You may need to upgrade the processor as well to get the best form your new card.

Always be wary of what salespeople say about 'same' kit. A slight upgrade on the processor will give the GFX more legs. Check the motherboard CPU support list on the m'frs website and drop a better one in that is supported.

Your processor is definitely the problem here. Its bottlenecking your graphics card which is why you don't see a performance improvement

That man definitely lied to you. A gtx 660 even with an i7 wont manage 150fps on ultra settings. He probably said that to make the sale

Sounds like he just wanted your money... Don't buy from him anything, you can always order hardware online. Ebay, Amazon.. etc.
