Hey guys. Now, I've got myself a decent build, but I'm getting tremendous amounts of lag in the simplest of games. I though upgrading my GPU would work, but alas, nothing. I get around 10fps in most games, and if things heat up (gunplay and running while facing forward) I drop down to 0-2fps.
Here's my setup.
AMD Phenom II x4 955 3.20 GHz
450w Ultra PSU (standard cables, had to use adapters for the GPU)
MSI Geforce GTX 970
4gb RAM
249GB free of 1.8TB Seagate HDD.
Little thing to note, the moron that put my computer together decided he didn't have enough room to properly put the heatsink on the CPU. So he broke off the top of the motherboard clamp. The fan won't even spin up on it's own due to this. I have to boot the computer, then reach in and spin the fan once or twice for it to get going. Chances are, the CPU is overheating like hell. Therefore, I'm going to be getting a new cooling system ASAP. That's the first on the list.
Anyway, back to the lag. It's unbearable, and makes me believe that I upgraded from a 650 to a 970 for no reason whatsoever, and that's one painful feeling, man. Could anyone help me make my money worth it?
