Hello everyone,
I was wondering if I could get some input on my specs and find out if what I'm experiencing is bottleneck or perhaps something else. I recently purchased a GTX 980 and at least for now it seems it's performing exactly like all the benchmarks I've seen of it. However the similarities cease when I play Farcry 4. I've set the game on "Ultra" and turned on V-synch and for the most part I stay at 60, however about half the time I'm playing the frame-rate dips down to 45-50 which is a bit lower than what I've seen (and expected) from this card. I was wanting to get some input and perhaps feedback on my rig to see if anyone would agree/disagree that my other hardware is causing this bottleneck. I was considering giving SLi a shot this time around and was also wondering if it would be better to upgrade my other hardware or just get another 980. Thoughts?
Appreciated.
My rig:
CPU: Intel i7-2600K 3.4 GHz
GPU: EVGA SC ATX 2.0 GTX 980 4GB GDDR5
RAM: 16 GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 SDRAM 1600 (PC3 12800) (4-4GB Sticks)
