System isnt working to its fullest

EMPCreepy · Jul 30, 2014

So i have had this problem for a little while. My pc wont actually work to its fullest and is always performing less than its should.
In games like bf4 and all other games my pc just wont work to its actual performance.
Specs:
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0
Cpu: AMD fx 8350 black edition
Gpu: Nvidia GTX 780Ti
Psu: Corsair CS 750M, 750W PSU
Water Cooling: Corsair H60

I hope someone can help me with this problem and also explain what the problem is for future use

Can you add more detail to what the problem is?

huntersw2 :

The problem is that something. In my computer or on my system isnt working like it should, i get vert bad fps on bf4 on high setting, around 40-50 when it should be around 70-90 stable on ultra.

Just found out my old gtx 670 does better than my Gtx 780ti. my 780ti is not defect i have had someone that have tested it

Could be PSU, as that Corsair unit is not very good quality.

Replace it with an Antec, XFX, Seasonic unit.

What are your CPU temps under load? The h60 is only a mediocre-level liquid cooler which is more or less just as bad as a $25 air cooler and if installed incorrectly could not be cooling properly.

I have just changed the PSU because the other one started to turn my system off, under load the temps are around 60 degree celcius

tiny voices · Jul 31, 2014

What PSU do you have now?

EMPCreepy · Jul 31, 2014

tiny voices :

It has been notes on the top

tiny voices · Jul 31, 2014

That unit is not the best for this build.

If you tested the 780ti in another system, and you have the card in the correct slot on your motherboard, I Would replace the PSU.

EMPCreepy · Jul 31, 2014

what is wrong with the PSU? I have just bought it so im not going to change the PSU

tiny voices · Jul 31, 2014

It is low quality. It is made with cheap capacitors.

It could not be providing the power the 780ti needs.

You have the card in the proper slot right?

EMPCreepy · Jul 31, 2014

Yep i have, it's not very hard to miss the right slot

EMPCreepy · Jul 31, 2014

so its power related? or can there be something else

tiny voices · Jul 31, 2014

Good. It should be the very top one.

Have you tried other cards in your system? IF they work, I guess RMA the GPU.

tiny voices · Jul 31, 2014

Doesn't have to be power related. Could be a ton of things.

EMPCreepy · Jul 31, 2014

I just tried with my old gtx 670 and the 670 seem to work better

EMPCreepy · Jul 31, 2014

this is my new gpu http://us.msi.com/product/vga/GTX_780Ti_3GD5.html#hero-overview

tiny voices · Jul 31, 2014

Is the GPU at 100% usage in games?

Honestly, Just RMA the card and get a new one.

Alex Kelly · Jul 31, 2014

I highly doubt it is the PSU. The CS series aren't that bad.

What are your GPU temperatures while gaming? Could be overheating and throttling. You may need to try just RMAing the card as tiny voices suggested, if the temperatures aren't a problem.

EMPCreepy · Jul 31, 2014

i dont know if i can because i live in Norway and when i asked them if i could return the card they said that they needed to test it for problems and if there were any then i could get my money back

Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast 16GB 1600MHz

tiny voices · Jul 31, 2014

The CS units (aside form 650w) use the same junk capacitors as the CX units do. They are not great.

Just RMA the card. That is your best bet. If the new card doesn't work, replace the PSU with an XFX, Seasonic, Antec 650w-750w unit.

EMPCreepy · Jul 31, 2014

It's very hard to RMA when they wont take it because they think its fine

tiny voices · Jul 31, 2014

IF they think it is fine, then we still know it is not the card, and that is all we are after. Just the information.

Alex Kelly · Jul 31, 2014

EMPCreepy :

If it's not performing as it should they have to at least have a look at it. If it doesn't perform as it should in their tests, they will send you a new one or allow you to spend what it cost on something else.

I know the CS series isn't great, but it shouldn't be causing these issues.

GPU temps, please? Download GPU-Z, leave it running while gaming, come back to it after a while, click on sensors, click on the current temperature and select 'show highest reading'. Then tell me what that value is.
