Hello folks,
I want to ask, if my CPU is holding my gpu back. In certain games, especially MMO´s I have pretty crappy fps, nop mater of resolution, but if I lower details it helps in some and in some not.
I have i7 920 OC´ed to 3.78 GhZ, MSI GTX 670 PE 2GB, 6GB ddr3 ram running (becouse of OC @ 1440 MHz or some like that, PSU: OCZ Extreme 700W and running on Win 8.1pro x64.
In Tera online, i have same fps on 1920x1080 resolution on maxed settings and 20-30 fps in towns and 30-60 fps outside while my gpu usage is 20-50 %. But in GW in large events I have 10-20 fps maxed out and 60 on all setting low.
My CPU usage is pretty high (80-95% sometimes some core spike to I think about 98%.
I have no problems running BF4 and gpu demanding games on ultra at 1080p with Gpu usage in range of 85-98%.
This problems remains especially in MMO, SWTOR too, only 40-65 fps maxed out in starting zone with gpu usage about 25-35%.
BTW nothing is overheating, At full load max temps are @ 65 degrees of Celsius.
So can my old i7 920 be a bottleneck? Even on 3.8 Ghz?
I remember my old gpu GTX 285 performing better buth with lower details (high in swtor, but gpu usage was about 80%)
I thing it must be the CPU when changinh resolution doesn´t raise FPS and gpu usage....
So if I will buy new mobo and i5 4670k, should i expect fps going sky high?
I think my cpu isnt so bad at all, but I really want to play MMO´s
Thanks for advices
Have a nice weekend.
