Battlefield 3 Choopy Frames

Carskaterboyz · Apr 18, 2014

Hello i used to be able to play battlefield 3 at a steady 50+ frames with a amd radeon hd 7770 i noticed last week as i would start playing multi/single player the frames would dip down to 8 after a few minutes i used windows defender to scan for a virus Nothing came up so i updated my driver defraged my hardware cleaned the gpu with a can of air the temp whilst gaming is about 40-60 playing at 1440x900 sometimes the audio will cut out when the frames drop? dont know what that could be but sometimes like i said it can be at 83 frames on low go to 30 then to 8 and repeat or stay at 8

Windows Defender is rather baseline as far as Virus Scans go.
I'd suggest trying out AVG, Malware Bytes, and Super Anti-Spyware as well.

The fact that it takes time for your framerates to decrease would indicate to me that your card is overheating and downclocking itself.
Run a game and use MSI Afterburner to check your clock rates and report back.

Thanks FromTheDepths Ill do i quick avg scan and if its overheating then why is msi saying its only about 40 and i read on Amd's Sight 60 is usual while gaming and the MHZ is jumping from 1020 to 300

Carskaterboyz :

I was correct, your card is downclocking itself.
In some cases, monitoring programs can be inaccurate, depending on the situation.
Try to check with Speedfan

Another possibility is that your card's cooling plan is jacked up, and it's downclocking at too low of a temperature.

Yeah im getting the same readings with asus's gpu monitor ill give speedfan a shot Avg Came up with nothing and how do you think it got jacked up i never really messed with msi's default setting and it was fine about 2 weeks ago Now speedfan is saying my gpu goes from about 40-63 during gaming what could be a soultion to this downclocking if its overheating increase fan speed? i got this card about 3 months ago

Carskaterboyz :

63C isn't bad at all for a card under pressure, and it should be perectly safe, can't see why it would downclock.
Check your Driver application for something related to power management, and set it to Maximum Performance. That should severely lighten the downclocking,

That Avg Scan Came Up With Adware! Something Windows Defender Did Not Pick Up! and Looking For Power Managment In My Driver Section And cant Seem to Find It or Anything Related To It

Carskaterboyz :

I don't have an AMD card build right now so I can't check exactly where it is, but it would most likely be under the AMD Catalyst program.

Another thing you can try is to set a stable clock speed on Afterburner, and it should stick as you play.

Carskaterboyz · Apr 18, 2014

Yeah Im In the Cataclyst I can Only Find CPU Power Thats Odd And what would you reccomend as a stable clock speed for the Radeon HD 7770 Oh And Mine Is A DC series?.

FromTheDepths · Apr 18, 2014

Carskaterboyz :

1000MHz should be good.

Core Or Memorey clock And Why would I Lower Either?
