My problem with my new PC

grendes · Aug 13, 2014

Hi! So I bought parts for my PC yesterday and i'm confused... I installed Windows 7 64-bit, and all of updates and drivers ( audio, video etc..). I'm was pretty sure that those parts will let me play all new games at full settings. By new games i mean Titanfall, Watch Dogs etc...but when i play those games my FPS drops to 35-40.
My question is that whether those parts too bad or whether or not they suitable together?

You should be getting better than 35-40 fps with that hardware.

xtreme5 · Aug 13, 2014

Are you playing those games on highest settings?
What resolution are you playing at?

Your PSU isn't even certified.

You'll find the 650W versions mentioned in http://www.johnnylucky.org/power-supplies/psu-lemon-list.html
"Not 650 watts as advertised. Exploded during testing. Thin wires. Tiny heatsinks. Low value input caps of unknown origin. Also sold under Leadman Power and Powmax brand names."

You'll find Powmax in tier 5 of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html - Replace Immediately!!

What voltage - 12v, 5v and 3.3V - readings are you getting in bios/uefi?

i7Baby :

So i should change my PSU ASAP. Do you any suggestions? And is it possibly that PSU is reason for pretty high temps while gaming? http://tinypic.com/m/icqvk8/2

i7Baby · Aug 13, 2014

Could be a PSU problem causing over temps - if its over volting.

That's why I asked "What voltage - 12v, 5v and 3.3V - readings are you getting in bios/uefi?" - to find out how it's running. But no matter how, you should still replace it.

xtreme5 · Aug 13, 2014

Temperatures seems fine to me, have enable V-sync too?

grendes · Aug 13, 2014

i7Baby :

sorry for stupid question... how can i check them?

grendes · Aug 13, 2014

xtreme5 :

Yes i have

xtreme5 · Aug 13, 2014

Make it disable that is why you're gettign lower fps, v-sync doesn't make noticeable difference and actually AMD cpu's are not good for gaming but enough for it. Even I had seen gamers with core I7 cpus they keep disable V-sync, get another card then enable this you'll be fine then.

xtreme5 · Aug 13, 2014

Disable it and then play Titanfall and notice your fps post them here?

grendes · Aug 13, 2014

xtreme5 :

I played titafall like for 30mins with dicabled v-sync , fps stayed around 45-60. Only sometimes it was stable 60. Here is temps : http://puu.sh/aQJ7E/1569d3a6cd.png

xtreme5 · Aug 13, 2014

All seems perfect what are you worrying about 45fps is enough for smooth play isn't it? Fps increase and decrease should be in every game but would not interrupting your gameplay this is because when heavy battle is going on graphics become more heavy and cause a drop in fps. As I told you too amd are not great for games but still you had an great fps, tell me did you feel any stutter/lagg or any jerks issue?

grendes · Aug 13, 2014

xtreme5 :

The main reason why i am worrying about 45fps is that the game becomes laggy.

xtreme5 · Aug 13, 2014

What are you talking about still lagging at 45? Try lower shadow.

xtreme5 · Aug 13, 2014

If problem still there then uninstall GPU drivers completey download the fresh one from nvidia sites if this fails too then I suspect it could be bad psu.

i7Baby · Aug 13, 2014

grendes :

as I said - "in bios/uefi"

grendes · Aug 14, 2014

xtreme5 :

woopsie i missclicked...
By lagging i mean that fps doesn't stay at 45, it sometimes jumps higher or lower.

xtreme5 · Aug 14, 2014

hmm It depends on different origin in games scenario.

grendes · Aug 14, 2014

xtreme5 :

I will get my salary tomorrow :3 and i'm thinking about purchasing new PSU , do you have suggestions? I'm looking for not too expensive,but still good one.

grendes · Aug 14, 2014

xtreme5 :

AND thanx for help !

xtreme5 · Aug 14, 2014

Always welcome, how much do you want to spend on a PSU?

grendes · Aug 14, 2014

xtreme5 :

i was thinking about spending like 90€- 120€

grendes · Aug 14, 2014

xtreme5 :

I did little bit of research found this in my local store:
http://uk.hardware.info/productinfo/107879/antec-hcg-620-high-current-gamer-620w (this is not the local store)
What do you think about this one?
It was listed here http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html as tier 2 class A PSU , so i think it should be good and produce enough power for all components.
