first, here are the specs:
motherboard- ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
cpu- amd fx 8350
gpu- pny geforce gtx 760 2gb gddr5 oc
ram- 16 gigs of ddr3
psu- evga 750w bronze
so, ive spent a large amount of money piecing this together for months, yet i noticed a bit of lag while playing the new thief game on high settings. this was during the start of the game, as it seemed to smooth out as the cpu reved up, but was wondering what the weakest point is in this setup. should i be concerned (more so for the future) and if so is it an issue with the gpu more or should i try and put money into overclocking the cpu and keeping it cool, as it stands everything is set at factory specs. thanks so much as i would like it to stay able to play games on high settings for a few years. oh and one over another is imperative as i have a finite amount of funds and switching to another cpu is not an option.
it may be worth noting i do not track my fps but this setup ran bf4 ac4 nfs rivals all quite smoothly on high settings just being precautionary.
