I have a nvidia gtx 780, 24 gb ram, and i7 3960x at stock speeds and I am lagging in games like watch dogs, Tera and blacklist retribution when they are maxed out. Why am I lagging? Thanks

High resolutions will drop FPS a lot, and some games simply cannot be "maxed out" with good frame rates, even on the most insane systems. Not all settings should be used, such as 4x SSAA, MSAA x16, 200% resolution, Ubersampling and the like without some loss in FPS and increase lag. For online games, your internet connection also matters.

What is your resolution, btw?

If the 780 you have there isn't your first GPU in that system, then make sure you've removed all of your old graphics drivers. Also just to clarify, are you playing these games online (lagging) or offline (FPS Drops)?

watchdogs is a horrendous to all systems, so its the games fault not your systems, i cant say for the other two games as i havent played them, do you have the latest WHQL release driver or the latest Beta driver?

hmmm, apparently that is the last released driver, but as i said watch dogs runs like a sack of crap anyways, do a test in something like BF4, crysis 3, metro last light or tomb raider if you have them, they are all actually well optimised and stressful, this should give you a good indicator as to whether its poor optimisation on the games part or there really is an issue in your system.

thats a little low for a 3960x + 780, id be expecting more likely around 70 in that set up as my 3770k and gtx 690 were seeing 75-85 in max setting with tressFX in tomb raider, what memory frequency is your RAM at, as that can often stifle away a couple of frames, not usually more than 5 in most cases, but its something worth looking at.

You do realize a 690 is much faster than a 780.

actually its not, the 690 is a little more than 20% faster than the 780 if both are running at either stock, or full overclock, and i was accounting for you having a hell of a lot more cpu power than i have from my 3770k, so as i said, 70 would be what i was looking for from that set up. But your real problem isnt your hardware, it seems to be fine, its just poorly optimised games by the looks of things
