hello everyone, I have fps drops problems on my rig.

my rig is:
amd fx 8320 3,5Ghz (stock ghz).
msi geforce gtx760 directcuII 2gb OC.
8gb ddr3 ram corsair.
biostar 960d+ motherboard.
coolermaster evo cpu fan.
xfx 550 watt pro psu.

the games where I have issues on are: heroes and generals, saints row 4, ace of spades, battlefield 4, borderlands 2 and far cry 3.

do you know what the problem is?

thx for you time.
 
make sure the mb has all bios updates and download from amd the newest mb chipset drivers for 900 chipsets. if it not a driver issue check with msi afterburner hot hot the gpu is getting. also if your mb has onboard video port make sure your video cable on the gpu and not the mb.

well I am not a pc newb so I know that the cable needs to be connected to the gpu. I am updating the bios of the motherboard now and I am installing the chipset of the motherboard.

o and thanks for commenting here i really appreciate it.

I did that and there is some performance improvement except for saints row 4 which still runs like crap. every time I use my super power the system laggs (there are no themps issues).

I already checked that (and it seems that far cry 3 also does not run that great on medium-high 1360x768).
I reinstalled 3 times the directx because I switched constantly from video cards.

well it was the amd cpu which bottlenecked all my games. A friend of mine gave me his old core i5 2320 3ghz cpu and I bought a new mobo and sold my old stuff and now all games are running at 60fps+.
