Hi with my previous setup I had been getting extremely low FPS even in rather old games: 30 FPS in WoW etc, max 35-40 FPS in new games. Which dropped to a crawl in 25 man raids and other hardware intensive games. So I decided to try and upgrade. I went from this :
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD7770 GHz Edition OC 1GB GDDR5 (11201-02-20G)
Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H Intel Z77 Ivy Bridge Motherboard
Intel Core i5 3470 Ivy Bridge 3.20Ghz 6MB 77W LGA1155
Corsair CMD16GX3M2A1600C9 Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3-1600 CL9
Corsair HX Series HX1050 V2 1050W Modular Power Supply 80Plus Gold
TO THIS
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD7770 GHz Edition OC 1GB GDDR5 (11201-02-20G)
ASUS Maximus VI Gene Intel Z87 mATX Haswell LGA1150 Motherboard
Intel Haswell Core i7 4770K 3.50GHz 8MB LGA1150
Corsair CMD16GX3M2A1600C9 Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3-1600 CL9
Corsair HX Series HX1050 V2 1050W Modular Power Supply 80Plus Gold
I installed a brand new hardrive OS to rule out software issues. I still received very low FPS. None of this has been overclocked but I wouldn't think I would have to to get good performance in video games with this setup? I also tried individually switching out the RAM, GPU, and PSU (with slightly older spare parts) to test any hardware faults but still receive very low performance. The only thing I haven't really switched out would be the case, but I don't see how that could affect performance.
As far as I can see the only options would be that I don't know how to properly set up new hardware; or I am getting some extreme bottlenecking that prevents me from playing even unintensive video games optimally, or I need to overclock my system to make it remotely useful.
I'm no tech wizard so if it seems like it's obvious I still want to hear it. One thing I can say is that iv'e checked that all drivers were up to date several times. I really don't think it's a software issue, but an annoying (and expensive) issue nonetheless.
Thanks so much for your help.
