I've been running this setup for a while now and it almost seems hit and miss at times with how games run in it. For example I have to turn games like WoW and CoD AW way down to even be playable but a game like League of Legends I run at max settings with 150 fps+, although it occasionally drops near 100 so a 50 fps loss at times.
My system:
Cpu: AMD FX 9370 4.4 Ghz (4.7 ghz turbo) I'm running the standard clock speed
Gpu: GIGABYTE GV-R927XOC-2GD Radeon R9 270X 2GB not quite a year old yet thinking about getting a second one
Psu: FirePower ModXStream Pro 700W 80Plus Semi-Modular High Performance ATX PC Power Supply 700MXSP
Ram: HyperX Blu 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
HDD: HGST HDS721050CLA362 (0F10381) 500GB 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s pretty sure this hard drive is currently failing I should have a Western Digital black edition 1 tb before the year is over though
Since I have connection issues I will also list my router. I really doubt my connection issues are my service itself since I am a resident on NCSU campus and I'm on their ResNet service which is supposed to be something like 80 up and 80 dwn.
Router: Netgear WNDR3400 N600 router http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/WNDR3400.aspx#tab-techspecs to be more specific
Basically what I'm looking for here is there any settings that need to be tweaked to get better performance or is there just something wrong with the hardware because I get numbers much lower than every other test I see with a similar setup. Just as a last note all games I play are run in windowed borderless mode, whenever possible, and on 1600x900 due to a sub par monitor. Thanks.
