Hi everyone.
I recently upgraded my graphics card from an XFX Radeon HD 7750 to an EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Superclocked 2 GB. I have been playing games such as Arma 2 (multiplayer), Arma 3, Dayz Standalone, and Far Cry 3. In Arma 2 & 3, my frame rate struggles (25-30 fps) when I play multiplayer, but is totally fine when I am in the editor (45-60 fps). It doesn't seem to make a difference with any of the settings I play with (ultra or low). I also experience random frame drops when I am in multiplayer (DayZ mod, for example). My frames will drop from 25-30 down to 5-15. I also experience the frame rate drop in Far Cry 3 and Watch Dogs, making the games nearly unplayable at times. As I said prior, it doesn't seem to make a difference what settings I am on, my frames do not seem to change with them. I've made sure that I'm not running Precision X while playing, I've benchmarked with Ungine Heaven & Valley, and have played with nearly every setting in the Nvidia Control Panel. I am at a loss for what it could be, and was wondering if anyone else might be experiencing the same issue. My PC specs are:
- Corsair CX600W PSU
- Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 Motherboard - Upgrading to ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard tomorrow.
- 16 GB Crucial RAM 1333MHz- Upgrading to 8 GB GSkiLL Sniper @ 1866MHz tomorrow.
- EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Superclocked 2GB
- AMD FX-6300 6-Core @ 3.5GHz
- 1 TB HDD @ 7200 Rpm (storage)
- 500 GB HDD @ 7200 Rpm (recording)
Let me know if I left anything important out! Thanks!
- Sam.
