Hi all,
I am new here and have decided to create this thread explaining my problem. I have found absolutely no matches to what I am about to describe anywhere on the net. I need help because this problem is really bugging me.
Basically, ever since I upgraded my graphics card from an EVGA GTX 550ti to a Gigabyte GTX 760 OC Edition everything has slowly started to deteriorate. At first everything was fine, the card was working like a beast on every game I threw at it, no problems what so ever. However, this lasted about a month. What has now begun to happen is that when I am playing games like call of duty 4 on promod (a competition mod) where I need 250FPS to be able to strafe properly it seems that I can no longer reach that kind of FPS. Instead what is actually happening is my FPS is hitting 250 constant when moving around in not so detailed areas but stuttering and varying from 170 - 248 when in areas of increased detail.
When I first got the card I was able to get 250 FPS constant on cod4 promod no matter where about I was on any map. I was able to play on full graphics and in the highest resolution my TV supports (1080p).
My specs are as follows:
AMD FX-6100 (with arctic cooling freezer 7 pro rev 2 aftermarket cooler)
Gigabyte GTX 760 OC Edition
8GB G-Skill RAM
Corsair CX750
MSI 760G-P43 FX Motherboard
Additional Notes:
• I have noticed a strange whining noise coming from my power supply just recently, it seems to be a nasty case of coil whine but can only be heard when IN GAME and looking at trees and details on the map (especially in cod4). I'm not sure if this may be my problem? Could my power supply be dying? I have had it now for almost a year.
• I have replaced the thermal compound on both CPU and even my GPU to see if the problem regarding my fps issues stops but neither did anything to help.
• I have removed all overclocks from my CPU and this has not changed the performance at all whilst in game on cod4. It doesn't seem to make a difference anymore whether my CPU is overclocked to 4.2GHZ or left at it's stock clock speed of 3.3GHZ... It seems that the GPU does most of the in game rendering for cod4 especially.
Please guys any help would be greatly appreciated... I am currently looking at getting a full upgrade but I want to keep my current GPU and just buy the exact same one so I can SLI two GTX 760's
Many thanks,
