Hello, first of all, thanks for taking the time to read this. I need some help as a beginner jumping into the OC world and I was wondering if someone could give me some answer?
CPU: AMD FX – 8120 Black Edition – Eight core @3100 MHz
CPU Cooling: Cooler Master 212 Hyper Evo
GPU: EVGA 760 GTX
Motherboard: Biostar – TA970XE
RAM: 8 GB.
Case: Antec 1200 (original, not the V2 or V3).
Power supply: 600
OS: Win 7
Using the “Towerclocker” by biostar, I got the cpu up to ~3.4 MHz.
-"Current" numbers from towerclocker: ~3401 MHz; Bus speed 200 MHz; Voltage ~.996V)
So my question is this: I am trying to play games like Arma 3 and Witcher 3 but I am stuck low FPS and mehk quality. I know that my PC is mid-level at best and I am not expecting to play everything on ultra. But when I use “detect” on most of the games that I play, it auto-sets my game settings to ultra. When I look at the game requirements for both minimum and recommended, I normally meet or exceed them. So:
1) Is there any advice on anything that I can upgrade without breaking the bank?
2) Would SLI’ing two 760’s make a sigifiant difference?
3) As a beginner “over-clocker” (Using the provided software) is there anything I can do to make my cpu run faster?
4) Is my cpu or gpu bottlenecking Arma 3?
Also: When I am just running Towerclock to just physically monitor my cpu, the multiplier and core speed seem to jump from 1400-3400 MHz. (The multiplier jumps from 7x to ~17x) – What’s up with that?
