Ok so it seems lately I have got an array of problems. Around 2 months ago I bought an MSI 780 Gaming edition to replace a 660ti. I was all excited to gain vast improvements just using a 60hz 1080p monitor. But alas I have just had problem after problem. During games such as battlefield 4 or Borderlands 2 my GPU usage hovers around 50%. Temps stay in the 50-60 area. With my 660ti I could maintain 60fps in borderlands to except in really heavy scenes but now can barely keep 40fps in little fighting areas.
I have a H80 water cooler keeping my CPU cool. My CPU is an AMD Phenom II x6 1090T Black edition. I understand it is aging a bit but even overclocking it to 3.7ish does not help anything. The GPU usage remains the same which is crippling my frame rates in all the games I play. I do have a second monitor usually idling or open on chrome.
I am running my system with a 600w Corsair builder series so I am pushing it quite close with my Powersupply. I have been told from a previous thread that a CX PSU is not all that great for overclocking. Do you think this Powersupply could be to blame for my low Usage?
I am using an MSI 760GA-P43 Motherboard although not fantastic I think it is up to the task of handling a basic Overclock.
If not could I please get recommended a new Mobo and CPU, please try stick to using UK sites and AMD as I am on a budget for all parts :/.
I have recently got a new case, cooler and spent £400 on the 780 so as you can imagine I am reluctant to put even more money into this if there is a way around it.
My full specs are as followed:
MOBO: MSI 760GA-P43
CPU: AMD phenom II X6 1090T Black edition (3.6ghz currently)
GPU: MSI 780 gaming edition 3GB
PSU: 600W corsair builder series
RAM: 8GB of cheapish Scan value ram
Hard drives: 1TB Seagate, 500GB storage drive
Fans: 4 case fans
Cooler: Corsair H80 liquid cooling unit.
Thanks in advance.
Thank's in advance.
