Hello everyone,
I recently installed a new graphics card into my computer and its is the 7870 XFX 2gb GHz edition. On the whole it runs games great and its average framerate is exactly what I expected it to be. However I have a problem where I get these enormous framerate drops to literally 1 or 2 fps for under a second. In a high speed shooter of course this is very frustrating, and when I'm playing good looking games like skyrim it really dampens the atmousphere.
My specs:
intel i7 2700k 3.5GHz
7870 XFX 2GB
8GB corsair RAM
600W Corsair PSU
Samsung 7200rpm 500GB hard drive
When I play minecraft, (I don't play it often i play it more just to benchmark and see how my computer is performing), I get framedrops up to every 10 seconds. Also on a regular basis, like 1 in 5 times it will run out of memory and crash.
Yesterday when playing the new 'Warface' I got a blue screen of death which obviously is annoying.
Here is a picture of the graphics specifications.
My assumption is that there is a problem with the RAM, not accessing memory or potentially mechanically broken. Or a problem with the graphics card which also is not accessing all of its memory.
UPDATE:: I have also just been testing on far cry 3, and when I have framedrops its coinciding with the GPU usage. The usage will drop down to around 60% maybe even lower, and thats when the drops are. So it means that my graphics card stops working to its full potential, causing the drops.
Thanks for any help in advance.
