Okay, I very recently built a custom pc thinking that it would be fine for what I want to play and what settings I want to play at. Since I've built it some games have met my expectations, others. Not so much.
Take for example I can run sniper ghost warrior 2 at maximum settings yet when I play saints row the third, I can't play max settings and have to select specific settings, turning it onto the ultra preset will cause it to run at 50 fps indoors and have performance spikes outdoors from a rare 60 fps to a common 25 fps. Why is this Happening? Before I carry on here are my PC specifications.
Motherboard: ASUS H81M-E
Processor: i3 4330 @ 3.5 ghz
Graphics card: EVGA Geforce gtx 750 ti (standard)
Memory: Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600mhz (2x4gb)
Psu: Corsair 430W
Everything is new in the system, including the WD Caviar blue hard drive. I can't wrap my head around why it is underperforming, I heard saints row 3 was a badly ported console game but all my mates play it at a constant 60 fps, even while my graphics card vastly outperforms theirs!
The only reason I can think of such games underperforming is the CPU being a dual core, despite having 4 hyper threads. It's not bottlenecking, not overheating and all drivers are up to date! Well, saying it doesn't overheat but does reach it's maximum rated temps (72degrees)
And as far as corsair are concerned the ram is fully compatible with the motherboard. I've run pass mark tests and the CPU is getting around 2000 in the pass mark test, I'm guessing that it's for some reason using one core to give it that score instead of the average 5000 other identical processors get, I've run prime95 and CPU-z along with the intel overclocking software and they all produce the same result, both cores are in fully accessible working condition, running at the right clock speed! Also all hardware & software (games included) are up to date, bios, Gpu drivers etc..
If the processor is In fact limiting the performance would the i5 4440 be a suitable replacement for £35 more ($55)? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as to why there are such dramatic differences in performance and how I can fix this problem.
Thanks in advance - Jack
