Greetings,

Just went from a gtx 670 ftw 4gb to gtx 970. Logged to bf4 for the first time in 6 months and now its constant 40 - 55 fps (all low settings and same fps at maxed ultra settings + AA settings). I know my CPU isn't the best and is going bottleneck the card. But before with my 670ftw, I would get constant 65 - 80 fps on High / Ultra Mixed with AA enabled. Any suggestions? Is it my pc or the bad game?

Note: Updated drivers on everything.

Specs:

GTX 970 4gb
8gb ddr3-1600
fx-6300
gigabyte GA-970a-ud3 mobo

something might be overheating.

not sure what's wrong you're not giving us much info. but i would suggest you uninstall anything with the word nvidia, including your graphic drivers, reboot your system and reinstall the brand new nvidia drivers. see if that helps. make sure to remove things like nvidia experience when you're doing it as well.



he got better fps with a 670... if his ram/cpu was the bottleneck he wouldn't have been getting higher fps with the 670. there is something else happening. either its his gpu drives or his bios version... or something is overheating. but something else is wrong atm. we need to get him to the performance he was getting with the 670 before we start to point fingers at the rest of the hardware.

Oh I most definitely think I need a better CPU and RAM. Mainly I'm just trying to figure out if the GPU upgrade tanked performance somehow, and trying to not regret upgrading when I got about 20 FPS higher before..

Your 12v rail on the power supply drops below 11.8v - check it in bios as well. If it does that too in bios, I'd be looking for a better power supply.

What make and model PSU have you got?


Your GTX970 sits at v low clocks till you put some stress on it. What make and model?

My PSU is a corsair CX500, and the 970 is a MSI twin frozr. (power supply is probably a potato with some cords going through it honestly. my rig is 2 years old)

Could I OC my CPU without destroying it or getting too high of temps? That's my biggest concern.

kinda sad story.. I was trying to help someone with just about the same hardware and upgrade situation then I seen that.

might be drivers
probably has some to do with low ram
might be not having a a 990FX motherboard since everyone that comes here for help with a FX cpu has a 970.
might be only well threaded games can power a gpu like a GTX 970-R9 290X with a 8350.

(at a lose for more words)

I'm starting to wonder if my rig will be able to keep up with newer games. Now I decide if I should ditch the 970 for a refund and fall on the xbox one train just to make sure i can play everything newer. Thanks everyone for your advice.

Hope its not people getting defective gpu's

I mean modest could get like a i5/i7 with some more ram and see what happens.. then if still could return the 970 for the same one or a r9 290x but tis power hungry as well.

Maybe a friend has a i5/i7 to try it with.
