Is this FPS performance okay for my rig?

Hello folks, I wanna ask you if you think my GPU, CPU, etc, are doing its best and performing a good FPS playing.

For example, playing Far Cry 3 with ultra settings.

I'm getting 42-60 FPS with AA set to 4, and 30-40 FPS with AA set to 8. In the captures you can evaluate the HWMonitor and AfterBuner stats.






Here are my PC specs:

ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0
AMD FX-8350
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1x8GB) 1600 MHz
Corsair Cooler H100i
WD Blue 1 TB WD10EZEX
Sapphire Radeon R9 270 2GB Dual-X
Corsair PSU AX 760W
AOC 19'' Monitor 1440x900

Another thing I wan't to tell you, with 3DMark 11 I got really bad bench, really really bad, I don't know if something is wrong with the software itself or its compatibility with Windows 8.1 (in benchmarks FPS drops to 5-10, yes, really bad), what's the problem? I'm afraid if I upgrade my monitor to a 1080p one, the FPS are going to drop much more or something like that.

Note: I have the latest AMD drivers, the latest BIOS and yes, the RAM is configured to the proper frequency (1600) in the BIOS.

Interesting i7Baby, thanks. What about the 3DMark 11 bench I said?

You'd have to look at other similar builds to see what they scored.

I did, and that's why I'm asking what's wrong because they've scored 8000+, while my test don't achieve 2500.

Download HWInfo and run Sensors. Post the results - usually 3 screenshots in Tiny Pic or similar

What do you think?

Your cpu is running flat out. Your cpu temp isn't reading right 12-23C. Fan at 2300rpm
Check cpu Vcore and temp in bios/uefi. Post them

Reset bios.

Your power supply voltages seem OK. But check again in bios/uefi. Post 12v, 5v and 3.3v readings from there.

Your GPU seems to be running OK

Okay, I think the BIOS is in default settings, but I could be wrong. I've updated to the latest BIOS yesterday. One thing i've noticed is that the AMD Turbo Core is in "Automatic", maybe that's the reason why the CPU is running high voltage? Don't know. And... where do I reset the BIOS? Thank you. Here are the captures:








Notice the crazy Cha_Fan2 going up suddenly for a sec.

And... in that case about the cpu running flat out, does it hurts the gaming and 3dmark 11 benchs?

If you F2 into bios you should find a reset button.

I think there might be something screwy with your mobo. A few strange readings - chassis fan rpm, cpu temp. Though the 36C in bios looks ok.
Asus Sabertooth are supposed to be pretty good though.

See http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/316509-31-sabertooth-...

Vcore on HWInfo shows 1.414V. Your uefi shows 1.380. I usually find HWInfo pretty good.

It's just that if your cpu is overheating, then it'll bottleneck your pc performance.

Why do you think is not reading the temps correctly? what's the reason? Remember i have h100i cooler installed.

And, if is a bottleneck, I couldn't being able to play smoothly as i'm doing, is that correct? I mean, the only bad performance is in 3dmark 11 stats.

Did you read that link? I think your mobo might be faulty.

Yes i did, but that guy was getting shutdowns, I'm not, just a bad bench with 3dmark (could be a compatibility software issue, who knows). Thank you, I don't know what's going on :bounce:
