Hey,

I've just bought the "MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Twin Frozr V GPU" and i'm suffering from major fps issues in-game.

Games such as:

World of Tanks (Medium settings) 11FPS
League of Legends (high settings) 20-40 FPS

I dunno if my other components are throttling the cards performance or not, something is going wrong somewhere.

Specs:

- AMD Phenom II X4 840 Processor 3.92 (Bios OC)
- MSI 970 Gaming OC Genie 4 Motherboard
- MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Twin Frozr V GPU
- 12 GB Vengeance 1600MHZ Ram
- EVO 800W module PSU
- 1TB seagate HDD

Any help?

Thank you

Tom

Have you considered your CPU to be a bottleneck? It is 6 years old and wasn't very fast even when it was released in 2008. with a Q6600 coming in above it.

I would guess that it's just not keeping up with your GPU.

Getting a small SSD for your games, windows and program will also remove another bottleneck.

Yeah I downloaded them straight away from the website ( Version: 344.48 ), I upgraded from a GTX 650 that i used in replacement of a Radeon 6970 which fried.

Yeah, an SSD is on my Christmas list, but never thought of my processor causing it as its OC'd and all. Any suggestions for a suitable upgrade? Motherboard is only 3 months old 9 series and FX unlocked so should be able to take something nice :)

UPDATE:

60 secs of ingame in WOT with 11 FPS again

Ordered a AMD FX8370E Black Edition 8 Core Processor 95W, 3.3GHZ, 4.3GHZ Boost, found this to be better for the MSI 970 Gaming Mobo as I can't afford a good cooling system to keep the AMD FX8370 125W version cool enough.

Thank you for your advice.
