Good Morning Guys,

I've been building a basic gaming system piece by piece for a while now
But when I run my games I'm not getting the performance I was hoping for so I'm wondering if you guys can point me to my next upgrade to improve my FPS for a Game I Play Guild Wars 2

When Game is set to the Lowest Settings
FPS on Empty Map = 70 ( with 0 Persons are on the map )
FPS While Roaming Maps = 45-55
FPS in Fights = 8-20

When Game is set to the Highest Settings
FPS on Empty Map = 30 ( with 0 Persons are on the map )
FPS While Roaming Maps = 5-15
FPS in Fights = 1-8

------

System Specs

Motherboard = AUSU F2A85-V PRO
Processor = AMD A8-5600K FM2
Video Card = NVidia GeForce GTX 760
Memory = ( 16 GB - 4 x 4 GB Sticks ) Kingston Hyper X DDR3 Non - ECC 1600MHz
Hard Drive = ScanDisk SSD 128 GB


Current Processed I already tried to get better FPS
Unpark All Cores
Over Clocked the Processor to 4.3 Ghz

I would say add a HDD to increase storage it may reduce stress on the SSD. Also what OS are you running? And what manufacturer is the 760?
And it may be the CPU creating the bottleneck you are receiving, so maybe consider getting an A10-7850k. OR if you are confident changing MOBO you may want to get an fx6300-FX9590, or maybe go intel and get an i3,i5 or i7 . But intel is more expensive to cut the bill you could get an lga 1150 mobo, and get a Pentium G3258. And overclock it massively, and then further down the line get an i5.

And if you want to keep the board but go away from APUs I think you can get an Athlon 2 x4 760k and overclock, I think its better than yours.

To me, I think it's the CPU bottlenecking the GPU.

If you've got an aftermarket CPU Cooler, then it's best overclock that CPU till it reduces the bottleneck to none.

DEFINITELY the cpu bottlenecking the gpu. Amd's APUs weren't meant to be used with a dedicated graphics card.

Where did you hear that information from? A lot of YouTuber actually recommends a discreet video card for heavy gaming with APU's...

I think that he means you would be better off with a proper CPU and gfx card not an APU and gfx card where money was wasted on the graphical side of the APU that could have been used to get a better CPU.

Well, as the others say, it's the CPU that's holding you back, since games generally scream with GTX 760.

Overclocking your GPU is something you should be looking at. There are hundreds of guides for this, so do some research before you get down to it.

As for generally increasing FPS,

1) Defrag your drive. (Google Defraagging and download the appropriate softwares is you are unaware about defragging)

2) Run Advance System Care (downloadable software) or anything else like Game Booster to stop a few unnecessary processes when you are gaming.

3) Download CCleaner, and delete any unwanted stuff (Might not help your Gaming, but helps speed up your system.)

4) Run it in windowed mode. If the game doesn't have an inbuilt option for doing so, there are plenty of softwares for forcing windowed mode on games.

Good luck!

Crap, on my earlier post, I meant overclocking the CPU, not your Graphic Card.

Sounds to me like you're using the iGPU and not the dGPU.

The performance scaling from high to low settings shows a strong GPU bottleneck. If you were CPU bottlenecked, then the FPS wouldn't change much with different quality settings.

Make sore the monitor is plugged into the dGPU, not the Motherboard iGPU headers. Make sure GeForce drivers are installed, not AMD Catalyst. Probably best to disable the iGPU in BIOS.

I'm also curious how did an APU end up with 16gb an ssd and a 760. (It sounds like a joke 16gb of ram, a 760 and an ssd walk into a bar man says wheres the cpu) But seriously how because balance is everything.
