Hi guys
Cliff notes-
Did a system build
Gfx card will not perform to its full potential, will not even pull the minimum volts no matter what the load is or for how long.. maxes out at around 90% unclocked volts
maxes out at 60FPS even on old games (target is set for 100FPS)
Halp!
So, I have a strange problem ... I did a system build awhile back and my gfx card will not perform at its full potential... and the reason being (I believe) Is because its either not pulling or its not getting enough power.
I have a Asus 770 gfx card and 3570k and 8gb of ram a bunch of fans etc. etc. and an antec earthwatts 650w PSU which is 80 bronze certified
Basically ive had this problem since I did the build, but havent messed with it until now since im not on the computer that much. Essentially, when I look at my gfx cards usage (even after gaming for hours) it will never pull more than 1187 volts.... ever... but in the overclock settings it says the minimum volts are 1200 and then I can increase from there. It doesnt even pull the minimum amount of volts thats its designed for (so it seems). Games that I should be chewing through at 1080p im getting at maximum 60FPS. Even old games like deus ex I can only get 60fps and it will never go over that (Even though I have the FPS target set for 100)
So, my question is, do you think its the card or the PSU or neither? This really is getting quite annoying and im not sure what to do
