Finally broke down and got the best gaming rig I could imagine.
Asus Maximus VII Formula mobo
Intel i5-4690 3.5GHZ LGA1150
Asus GTX780 3GB
G.SKILL 2x8GB DDR3 2133
Samsung 128gb SSD
Corsair HX750W
I got it today and put it all together, still waiting on optical drive, storage hdd and going to swap to liquid cooling within a month or so (When I can afford it)
Biggest problem was that without an optical drive I've been forced to download the drivers for my mobo and gpu rather than use the included discs, but I think I managed okay.
I downloaded and booted up Battlefield 4 to give her a little stress test, and was greeted with awful screen tearing issues. Was forced to mess with refresh and v-sync settings between both the game and the nvidia utility, finally found a setting that worked alright (Although with some noticable input lag.
I put up with it fine, but after a few minutes I noticed extreme fps drops, usually whenever I looked torwards an open or well-lit area. I don't know much about computers, but I specifically built this rig for this exact purpose, and by the specs alone, it should handle it just fine.
What could be wrong?
