I have a GIGABYTE GA-880GMA-UD2H with 333 onboard Acceleration Motherboard, Rev 2.2. My processor is an AMD Phenom II 6 core processor. My GPU is a Nvidia GTX 770. I have 4 (2x2GB Kingston Memory modules (8GB)). I have an ANtec 750 Watt Modular Power Supply, Plus an ANTEC 900 Tower. All are configured and installed correctly by a installation technician. I play World of Warcraft and Arma 3' currently I am only getting 20 frames per second. I have a 60GB SSD for Processor only, and WOW/Arma 3 is installed on my 1.5TB HDD. Is this whats causing my lag problem? Do I need a better motherboard or is my system outdated? Any help would be great.

the cpu is a bit outdated, what exact phenom 6 core is it? if its one of the slower ones like the 1055t, then yeah its probably cpu bottlenecked, nothing to do with the motherboard. I would suspect you should get more than 20fps though. check your cpu and gpu usage in games, maybe try another game, check temps to make sure nothing is overheating and throttling. One thing you can do, to see if it is a cpu bottleneck, drop the in game resolution way down, to like 800x600, if you dont gain any fps, or minimal fps, then you have a cpu bottleneck. If you do gain fps, then i would say there is something wrong with your video card/driver problem, or your running a rediculous 4k or triple monitor resolution.

Doubt it's the motherboard, it's not the harddrive either. It may be the processor, the six core Phenoms weren't very good, but should perform well in WOW though. Run some other games and benchmarks, download Unigine heaven and run everything maxed, tess included and report back the frames.

I'm not home but I will check what processor it is, Think the 1055t. So do you have any CPU suggestions that are compatible, but will also be a major gamer CPU without being bottle necked by anything else? I would greatly appreciate the advice. It is an AM3+ and I told you my system already. Any other info you need for an assessment?

I have a 1095t CPU version of the AMD Phenom II 6 Core. I turned down the resolution to 800x600, in Arma 3, only 3 Frames per second. Any more suggestions?

if you only gained 3 fps, then cpu bottleneck. There are some tweaks for Arma games i believe using amd cpu's that make it run better on them. google Arma tweak AMD and it should pop up with a bunch of tweak guides.
