Fx-8350 gives such a bad gaming performance.

xBlackadderx · Dec 2, 2014

I am currently having this rig:

GA-990XA-UD3 rev.1
CPU Fx-8350
GPU MSI Twin Frozr GTX 770
Tooq 800W 80+
NZXT H440
WD 500Gb
Ballistic 8 Gb 1600mhz DDR3
Corsair H60 rev 1

Is been since I bought AMD CPU that I been having really bad game play in almost any game, at first I had a FX-4100 and a HD 6850, it was OK but I could not run certain games like Dayz, Watch dogs, assassins creed, etc, the list is to big for writing it all down.
I knew my Fx-4100 was not powerful enough for those game and I bought a FX-8350, and guess what I notice NO improvement at all, the only I got was a nice heat radiator which gets up to 70C under load.

No matter the OC (I got it to 4.7Ghz to see if improvement) no matter the unparck cores I will still get a jerky and laggy games, the game which I am suffering now is the new Call of duty Advanced warfare. It can get up to 85 fps even in multiplayer but well... I gets down to 23 fps or even lower to 10 fps whenever it wants to, the GPU usage also drops to 10% or so, and if I put it all at minimun settings I still have the same fps

All drivers are up to date, even the motherboard BIOS, Chipset etc.

My fx-8350 bottlenecks almost eny game I play even at 4.7ghz.

All the games you play are the prime examples of crappy optimization

Try battlefield 4 and tell me your avarage fps

gytisxp :

Well this is quite sure but WTF look at 800x600 no way I got this fps on that rig...

I will do a battlefield 3 bench, i dont have the 4.

Well if you have tried overclocking and unparking, the last thing would be a fresh windows install.

If that too doesn't help... I would say it is your PSU that is not good enough to power all your components (especially the 8350). The 8350+770 should be able to play all latest titles on 1080p ultra with 60fps+ no prob and there is definitely some wrong with your system.

If you are looking for a new PSU have a look here for ideas on whats good : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

dont let it go up to 70 degrees, max temp is 63.

I have an fx 8320 and it doesnt bottleneck anything but World of Warcraft. which is one of the most CPU intensive games around.

xBlackadderx · Dec 2, 2014

tambeshakunt :

Well the PSU is a Tooq 800W 80+ I wouldn't have thought about a PSU problem becouse it seems to be even "overpowering" the system, I mean 800W in't enough? I can only try a 600W new corsair... will that be good for a try?

And I did 10 win 7 instalations at least!

tambeshakunt · Dec 2, 2014

Never heard of that brand and prob for a reason!

800W is probably not 800W in actual case. Also, it is the amperage on the rails that is important....not just the wattage.

What budget do you have to buy a new PSU? I suggest http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-Edition-Bronze-Semi-Modular-Supply/dp/B008O50WKG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417550305&sr=8-1&keywords=xfx+650

It has really crapy reviws (shi---)
I am sorry I only found this in spanish, you can see his specs at the bottom and yes i think it is the problem.
I will go for a 80€ PSU (recomend me one).
Also Thanks and i hope it to be the problem.

It would not be the processor as it's an amazing processor as it does support PCIe 3.0, I have been able to run any game and I get 120+ fps on any game on 1080p. Everything to ultra settings and no lag. But to you problem its your PSU, its not giving you enough power also check the bios and make sure that saving power is turned off.

I have a 8350 @ 7.6GHz, Sabertooth 990FXr2.0 Gen 3, 2x1TB SSD Raid 0, 1000w PSU, 32gb 1866 ddr 3 @ 2100 and lastly 2x XFX 7970 DD

gytisxp · Dec 2, 2014

Tooq is a brand i never heard of and i guess it would be 60+ to 80+ bronze max

Actually, doesnt look pretty bad for a unknown brand, there are a lot worse than that, i'd try with a fresh windows install before replacing it.

tambeshakunt · Dec 2, 2014

Are you in spain?

If so here is a very good unit for 88 euros:

Also what kind of HDD are you running is it 5400 or 7200? Does your mobo support SATA 6Gb/s?

Yes I'am at spain thanks, that looks good!

Well i already did it like 5 times so i don't think so.

xBlackadderx · Dec 2, 2014

80 euros is TOP so 88 is not my deal.
Would this http://www.corsair.com/en-us/gs-series-gs600-80-plus-bronze-certified-power-supply-2013-edition handle my pc? Just for testing, if the PSU is the problem i would buy it.

tambeshakunt · Dec 2, 2014

Yes it would work if the cpu is at stock speeds. Overclocked you will probably draw a little more power .

Will this do the job? http://www.aussar.es/be-quiet/be-quiet-straight-power-e9-700w-80plus-gold-bn194.html

tambeshakunt · Dec 2, 2014

Yes it would but thats 92 euros??! I thought 80 was your limit. I would still pick the 750 EVGA that I showed you though.

People are playing these games without issue with your exact set up.

wss_003 · Dec 2, 2014

i have an 8320 oc'd to 4.7 running with 780 sli and have not ran out of cpu yet so i agree maybe your mobo or psu is leaving you high and dry also if your hitting 70 im sure your cpu is throttling and that will defiantly not help

tsuneo6 · Dec 2, 2014

wss_003 :

off topic for a sec, what's your core voltage on that OC? and what do you cool it with ^^

wss_003 · Dec 2, 2014

...I went alittle overboard on cooling i have three independent loops my mobo is on one with a 360 rad my cpu is on one with a tripple thick 360 and the 780s are on one with a 480 and my voltage is at 1.4

tsuneo6 · Dec 2, 2014

wss_003 :

mine crashes at 4.4GHz 1.4V

bad draw I guess!

Fx-8350 gives such a bad gaming performance.
