Hello,
I have a computer that I built from parts I purchased online, over a longer period of time I have changed parts out to keep it up to date. My problem, or problems, is that I am having performance issues in games. My build is as follows:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bNwrwP
Now I suspect that it may be a driver-based issued with my GPU as I tried using drivesweeper to clear old GPU drivers and then installed the latest drivers from AMD's website and, for a while, the performance was boosted insanely, I used to be getting fluctuating FPS in WoW of 30-50ish FPS and when I installed the new drivers I was getting, in the same area and with the same game settings, around 60-80 fps. However this only lasted shortly, now im back to where i was before. My question, then, is wether this is a driver-based problem from AMD's side, a form of incompatability with WoW (hardware/driver wise), a hardware problem with my card or something entirely different like problems with other components. I bought this GPU (and the other components in my PC) to be able to play most games (especially WoW) on highest settings with 60ish FPS. Now I understand my build isn't going to run Crysis 3 Ultra settings maxed on FPS, that is by no means my intention, but given the age of Wow, I was hoping that I'd atleast be able to max out my FPS there with ultra settings.
Does anyone have any experience with similar cases, could it be a problem from XFX? I heard something about the XFX 7950 DD Black Edition running hot(not that i've experienced it), is this kind of thing common with AMD/XFX cards?
If i am forced to upgrade, which cards could u recommend that would do the job that I described? It's a lot of money, and my card isnt THAT bad, so i would prefer to not dish out that much money if at all possible.
Also, I started noticing that my computer sometimes on start-up doesnt go to bios, it just turns on, you can hear the fans making noise then it turns off and boots up again and repeats. Happens maybe like 1 in 8 times and can usually be fixed by turning off the pc at the back on the PSU, waiting for it to power cycle then turning it on. Anyone know what this could be?
