I get like 20 fps on planetside 2 on med settings, Chivalry deadliest warrior is choppy at med settings. EQ next landmark is unplayable I walk around at 5-20 fps and drop to 1-5 when mining.

Was looking around and didn't realize this but could it be because I'm running at 1360x768? playing on a plasma toshiba tv/monitor

Looks like you are running single channel RAM like me. Upgrade to dual channel. Take a look at this: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-240-Pin-Platforms-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9/dp/B004CRSM4I

Dual channel RAM won't really make in impact

Snipergod87 :

Trust me, it will. I got a big impact by overclocking mine, which means that the extra bandwidth of 2 sticks would help with calculations on next-gen games.

Seventwenty :

Alright. Is your GPU getting its full power? What is your CPU and GPU usage?

Get MSI Afterburner.

Seventwenty · Jul 1, 2014

Ok I have it running what am I looking for

Andrew Buck · Jul 1, 2014

Seventwenty :

Run the game and check to see what your CPU usage and GPU usage is.

Seventwenty · Jul 1, 2014

power 37% gpu usage 0% at idle, lets open a game.

Andrew Buck · Jul 1, 2014

Seventwenty :

Go ahead. Play, minimize out, then quickly take a screenshot of the MSI Afterburner side panel. Double click it to detatch it and resize it so all of the data is visible.

Andrew Buck · Jul 1, 2014

I mean a picture of the other part

Seventwenty · Jul 1, 2014

looks like the ram usage is maxed out, maybe I do need better ram.

Seventwenty · Jul 1, 2014

the hardware monitor right? its there you just have to look through the pics lol

Andrew Buck · Jul 1, 2014

Oh, lol. On my phone right now. Your VRAM or system RAM? That would do it.

Andrew Buck · Jul 1, 2014

Get 2 sticks of DDR3-1600 CL8 RAM, 4 GB each.

His RAM using being that high could be it though if open the task manager and click show processes from all users, what is using the most RAM?

Seventwenty · Jul 1, 2014

Snipergod87 · Jul 1, 2014

Your GPU isnt being fully utilized, something is going on in your RAM which is eating it all.

Seventwenty · Jul 1, 2014

the opera browser I'm using is running 4 apps at over 100k, 3 at over 70k and 1 at 35k. but if I can't play games while my browser is open I want better ram anyway lol.
