Hey everybody! I built my new rig (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2jYFW) back in December, and have been nothing but over-the-moon thrilled with it. But lately, in the past week or so, I've felt like its performance is lacking. Maybe I'm just coming down from the new PC high and was just delusional about its ability to run high-end games on max graphics, but I've noticed some mediocre fps while playing pretty much all my games.
To be specific, I've been trying to finish Farcry 3 (it's a grind .___. so much collecting to do) and I've noticed that on all max graphics with MSAA at 4, my fps is consistently in the 30 - 45 range.
I even went back, trying to finish Assassin's Creed II (again, a grind lmao) and I've noticed fps drops there even! It's usually above 45 fps, but rarely at a steady 60. I thought for sure my somewhat beastly PC, or at least what I thought was a beastly PC, would easily be able to run ACII at 60 FPS consistently.
And I'm also playing Borderlands 2 now. Jumps around between 40 and 60 fps, depending on which way I'm facing (whether I'm facing toward where most of the explorable zone is or not).
This is all just a bit disconcerting, seeing as how I felt like before these games were all running well, though I never had a FPS benchmark showing. I just assumed. Is my PC not good enough to run these games on max graphics? I know that it ran BF4 on max graphics very very well with never a hiccup or what felt like anything below 60 fps ever, but I haven't played it in weeks. I'll give it a go in a moment.
Again, here's my build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2jYFW
Is it just not as good as I thought? Of course I have background and startup prcoesses cut as much as possible. I run virus checks consistently. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks much
