Hey guys, so I've had this card for a while now, but it was being used to mine crypto's in a friend's computer because my PSU wasn't big enough to support it. I finally got the bigger PSU and now I'm trying to get a good overclock for some really high framerates.
Here's my card: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=2022&lid=1
I use MSI Afterburner and usually set the settings accordingly:
Core Voltage (is greyed out and therefore I can't use it) Why is that?
Power limit: +0
Core Clock: 1020
Memory clock: 1500
Fan Speed: (Usually) 60%+-
What's really bothering me though is that I've been running Cinebench and can only get about 65 FPS average throughout the Open GL test. And I monitor the GPU usage during the benchmarks and it usually hits a high of 30%.
BF4 runs smooth as well as any other games that I have, but they will never run over 60 FPS.
For example, I was playing Borderlands 2 windowed so I could see Afterburner, and at the same area my old graphics card (GTS 450) would exceed 100 FPS, this one just sits steady at 60. And once again, during this game, the GPU usage won't exceed 50%.
What's going on? How can I control my GPU better? I ran a Cinebench test in my friend's computer and this thing got about 120 FPS. Why is it different now?
