from the past few day i am tensed as my zotac gtx 760 is not performing what it should
as iam getting low fps than expected . for eg in bf4 iam getting 35 to 50 but i watched some
videos on gtx 760 they are getting 60fps in bf4 so i am worried that why its happening ?
and apart from that my gpu temp is alos on the high side like when playing bf4 its going till 84c
so please tell me what to do

i5 2500k
4gb ram (will upgrade to 8)
cm 600w

Your card has a 993 MHz (base) clock, and a 1059 MHz (boost) clock, this boost clock is ONLY achieved if the GPUs temperature is low and there is enough power.

To achieve lower GPU temperatures her are some things you can do:

1) Case. How big is your case? How many exhaust does it have?
2) Airflow. Your case generally should intake air from a front fan and exhaust it out the back fan for the best results.
3) Cable management. Cables should be tied down inside your case to maximise airflow throughout your case, thus keeping your components cooler.

When the Graphics is cool enough to "boost" you will receive more FPS from games.
Also try updating your drivers.

Finally you can use the EVGA precision X technology to achieve higher GPU clock speeds

Best Regards

Do a fresh install to your PC with latest drivers and be sure to have your video card cleaned, after a while dust settles on your radiators and might over heat.

DerekODwam :

but msi afterburner is showing my card is running 83c .

ohim :

well i am running the game on ULTRA @ 1080p
and iam afraid to clean the card as it might get damage.

83c is very high. I would clean out the fans, if worried just spray some compressed air that will help a little. Clean out everything and maybe add a case fan or two. How big is your case.

abuzz · Apr 20, 2014

my case is pretty big , please tell me what to do , i dont have a compressed air option, so should i rma the card?

schau314 · Apr 20, 2014

No need to rma, a can of compressed air is fine but if feeling adventurous a micro fiber cloth, a light toothbrush, or slowly spinning the blades while discharged is another option. Compressed air is the best but is the card really that dusty. Might as well as clean out the other fans if doing this, if removing the heatsink you need thermal paste.

well my card is 4 months old, and i should mention that from day1 i am getting this temp only, and i am powering this
card using 4pin to 6pin molex could that be a reason for low fps ?

schau314 · Apr 20, 2014

Is yours the evga gtx 760 or a 6 and 6 pin connector. Also what is your build with psu.

abuzz · Apr 20, 2014

schau314 :

my psu is coolermaster thunder 500w and is having 1x6 pin connector
where as my zotac gtz 760 requires 2 of them, but i dont think that will effect my fps .

Please don't take youtube "fps ratings" as anything more than BS. The fps you are getting is fine and are what you would expect with a mid range card.

Still not a bad idea to clean them.

abuzz · Apr 20, 2014

ok iam going to clean them today itself,
one more thing i am having 450 dollars with me so i was thinking of picking up ps4 or should i upgrade any parts of my pc ?

schau314 · Apr 20, 2014

I would wait a sec for any nice sales. Also whats your full build if possible. Pick up some compressed air.

abuzz · Apr 20, 2014

schau314 :

well as watch dogs requires gtx 780 to run , so i was much annoyed with pc stuffs because how much u will invest
at the end u will lack behind. so i was thinking of buying a console.

schau314 · Apr 20, 2014

I would post you full build just to see what you have. I'm guessing that one is a better bet though. xb fanboy

abuzz · Apr 20, 2014

here is my full build:

intel core i5 2500k

intel dh67bl - mobo

4gb ram

500w coolermaster psu

gtx 760

acer 24 inc led monitor

schau314 · Apr 20, 2014

Maybe an ssd. Are you 64 bit windows and do you ever exceed 4 gb of ram usage or get close.

abuzz :

You won't need a GTX 780 to run watch dogs. I mean you "might" need one to completely max it out. But your rig should handle at the very least medium settings with 60fps.

If it required a 780 to play it, it wouldn't sell. At all.

but still if you will not max you will not get the satisfaction and that makes you angry .
but what should i do with my 450 dollars /?

The PS4 isn't gonna look better than medium settings.

Considering you would need a new mobo, nope, not worth it. I'd just ebay the card and get a 780/780ti depending.

What you could also do is just sit on the money and if you don't like how it looks/performs then upgrade.

schau314 · Apr 20, 2014

I think a nice 120-256 ssd is a fair upgrade idea. The 780 is really not needed since you won't see that big of increase in buying it new, you will lose money just reselling your old card. I think a card upgrade is not fruitful right now.
