Hello there,
Back in November of last year I completed my first PC build. Everything worked fine and has maintained the performance I'd expect based on the specs. However I have begun to experience some crippling performance issues, including frame rates 20-30fps lower than I am used to as well as intermittent stuttering which makes gaming more than impossible. I should add that I did slightly overclock the card recently which resulting in the driver crashing but I could not say for sure that it was the cause as it was done through the AMD catalyst software and I continued to get decent frame rates after
I have tried resetting my BIOS today which seem to resolve the issue temporarily (I think) but it did not take long for the above issues to reoccur. I also updated my drivers, which was to no avail.
I have attached an image showing a Metro Last Light benchmark I ran in late November contrasted with one I ran just minutes ago with identical settings.
PC Specs:
Intel Core i5-4670k @ 3.40GHz
G.skill RipjawsX 4GB DDR3 1600MHz
XFX AMD Radeon HD 7950 DD 3GB GDDR5
Asus Z87-K Motherboard
Corsair GS 600W ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply
